cannot raise him on the phone now..

please be patient

Meanwhile, just to keep things moving Phil Hughes has just hit two sixes in a row to get his maiden test century. Aussies 0/169.

Spencer is playing.

3 contests that qtr where spencer did not go as hard as coaches wanted.

They pulled him off and Bailey said "I dont care if youre 19, I expect better. Show some intent and put one into his chest. Get the other bloke scared, or I will put someone else on.

Paul Johnson back on and OK.

No change in goals scored

Hits a six to get to 99 and claims his century with 6 off the next!

37.6 Harris to Hughes, SIX, this young man's lived up to the hype! He takes a couple of paces down the track and lofts him with the turn and deposits the ball on the grass embankment over deep midwicket, Hughes take a bow! All the Australians are up on their feet

37.5 Harris to Hughes, SIX, talk about guts! Hughes seizes on another juicy flighted delivery and launches Harris downtown over long-on

no mobile coverage now. Relying on payphone calls, so it will be much harder to get info now. Sorry all.

You've made a lot of Dees fans happy mate, thanks for the effort!

while we wait for updates, probably a good time to mention that he said we have a bit of support up there too.

Harris is a bit of a pie chucker, especially on a flat pitch like this. South Africa should be attacking the batsmen's stumps a bit more.

Yep, top effort by the team there faulty.

I lived in Cairns for 10 years and the D`s had been up there 3 or 4 times. They went to a few of the local schools and I reckon they would have won a few hearts over the years!

BTW Hughes dropped on 114

It's probably an opportune time to reflect on the reports about the coaches box being happy with the forward pressure being exerted by the attack - something I felt lacking in the earlier games. Juice would be happy to have three goals up before three quarter time in these conditions. This time last year he was on his way in an ambulance after being KO'd in a NAB Challenge game v Richmond in what heralded a poor season for him. Hopefully, tonight will be his turning point.

Also good to know that PJ's back on the ground.

Final score in Cairns . Melb 73 Bris 36

looks like the payphone has had it too!

Some pictures have started coming through in this LINK if anyone is interested.

Great to finally get a win in a preseason... First in a while.

Hopefully they survive the hurricane and can put on a performance against the Dogs next week!

does anyone know who was missing from bris. Did we beat their second team!!!!!

a great win.... GO DEES

As far as I can tell they were close to full strength - I know they had Brown, TJ and Power all back in the line-up for the game tonight. We had a good number of players missing tonight as well.

Terrific to hear we went on to win the game, just reward for the players after missing out on two games they had every chance to win. Bring on the Doggies!

A win is a win as far as I'm concerned and it can only be a good thing.
