England batting collapse. Makes me all nostalgic for the 90s. No way back for England here. Still, Stralia usually win at the Gabba.

Blows my mind that we could manage to have 1,000 posts about cricket but damned if it didn't happen. If an intereste party would be so kind as to start another one, link back to this one, etc etc. :indub:
