The Day that Gabba Rain Changed Test Cricket

It wasn't today, says GH

These days it is Sydney that has the reputation as the rainy Test, but that title used to be owned by Brisbane. From the very first, the city developed a record of matches in which rain was almost a third competitor.

Queensland weather cost Donald Bradman his first Test as captain, then a decade later delivered him his, and Australia’s, biggest Ashes win. It also did a job on India on their first visit seventy-seven years ago. Today it reemerged to frustrate them anew.
