Probably the key part:
“[W]e face the real prospect of losing important Test and BBL cricket matches from Queensland to interstate venues during the pre-Olympic displacement from the Gabba and hold a reasonable fear that a suitable solution to enable continuity of matches in Brisbane may not meet our needs or expectations,” they wrote.
“...We are preparing ourselves for a worst-case scenario where cricket could face the loss of access to the Gabba for potentially greater than seven years during the period of demolition, construction and post-Games return.”
Hence their public demands for an Allan Border Field redevelopment before the bulldozers move in at Woolloongabba. It would be, they argue, the “most efficient, cost-effective, and timely option” for the sport.

www.abc.net.au Australia retains the Ashes in anti-climactic fashion as rain wipes out final day of fourth TestAustralia will carry a 2-1 lead into the final Test of the Ashes series in England, meaning they have retained the Urn on the back of a drawn fourth game at Old Trafford with a little help from the rain that washed out day five.
Poor old England wiped out by the weather.
I almost feel sorry for them. Yeah, nah, not sorry.

Bairstow was out
If you leave your crease before umpire calls "over" you're out.
Bairstow needs to work on his match awareness. I'm betting it wasn't a one off.
Also, Broad is a dick.
