The tourists reached 4 for 329 at stumps with skipper Sourav Ganguly on 20 and VVS Laxman on 6, in a match Australia must win to have any chance of snaring the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Opener Virender Sehwag (195) smashed the highest score on an opening day at the MCG as he punished a luckless Australian attack. But he missed his chance to become the first man to score 200 in a day at the historic ground when he fell to a very good Nathan Bracken catch off a full toss from part-time seamer Simon Katich. ” [ more ] [listening to: The Spirit of Christmas - Scott Garrison ] 8:34:18 PM comment [ ] trackback [ ] G! • My Interests Macro Fun In the tradition of fun with macros , I have made a page that lists all the stories that mention my family.

Billy wanted lego mindstorms, Antony scored a digital music player, Emma got a giant teddy bear, and Brice got his metal detector. The kids had an orgy of gift opening that started at 7am. By 9am we were in the pool having a splash - as one does in Australia at Christmas time. Some friends came over to spend the day with us - which was nice. We also called family members across Australia, to wish them all a Merry Christmas!. We got the BBQ fired up to cook our Christmas lunch - and finally sat down to great meal. The rest of the day is a blurr - we played in the pool, we ate, we had some beverages, we ate some more. It was a good day.
