11 h. ago He’ll always have Brisbane: Michael Neser revels in sweet day of Ashes glory | Geoff Lemon

Stand-in bowler makes the most of rare chance on what could yet prove to be his final moments in Test cricket• Australia beat England by eight wickets at the GabbaIn the end, the only tension was whether Brisbane’s rain would descend before Australia could knock off the last 32 runs in the final session, and so whether going 2-0 up in the Ashes would be delayed until the fifth day. It turned out that England’s resistance through the light of the afternoon had only dished up some evening entertainment for home fans, with Travis Head able to put on a brief show in dispatching the pink ball over the fence before he headed back the same way.And still.

Second Test, D3: England 334 & 134-6; Australia 511Tourists collapse under lights, still trailing by 43Saturday night at the Gabba witnessed a collapse to rank among England’s most demoralising on Australian soil. In fact the entire third day could be filed under that category: three sessions of one-way traffic on Vulture Street that mean the Ashes urn is unlikely to change hands.Even the word “unlikely” is a simple nod to the fact that in nearly 150 years of Test cricket a 2-0 deficit has been overcome once before; that it remains mathematically possible.
