Had a very enjoyable visit to Victoria over the Christmas break, the cricketing highlight being a trip to the SCG on Boxing Day for the first day of the Australia v South Africa Test. It was slow going for much of the day, although a useful partnership between Hayden and Ponting left a solid foundation for the Australians which they needed as wickets fell late in the day. But WA legend Michael Hussey batted through till stumps and went on with the job the next day to record a century.
