Yeah, wait 'til you've retired why don't you Geoff.

He knows 4 days would have barely been enough time for him to get a century.

OK, so he's obviously solved the problem of a white ball that only lasts about 35 overs.

And to say poor crowds at recent tests in Aus is ludicrous.

Aye, I started a thread about this after a crappy journo said the same thing. Can't believe there's people claiming our Test crowds are in crisis because of two Tests against a team that's never been a crowd-puller here.

Brisbane Test attendance: 55953

I can't find a crowd figure for Tassie, but recall hearing it was about 18000 after three days. In a city of what, around 80,000?

While way down on last summer's sell-outs, they're still not shabby crowds for a side like SL, who have minimal support that travels and very few expat supporters in Aus.
