THE TON!
England look like they're starting to crack.
Haddin and Hussey high-fiving as they crossed back? Somehow, freaking awesome.
Aweosme points to Haddin, too, for a hard-fought 50 so far and excellent support, obvs.
Mr Cricket is back!

Commentator just pointed out that Australia haven't lost at the 'Gabba since 1988... Against the West Indies.
I have to ask: Does losing to the West Indies in the 80s really count as losing? I mean... it's the West Indies. The 1980s West Indies. Calling it "losing" has connotations - it implies, for example, that the possibility existed of winning.
Which, against the 1980s West Indies, is patently ridiculous. (Although it would have made for some brilliant cricket had it been the peak 80s Windies vs the peak Steve Waugh era Australians... Unbelievably brilliant, in fact. Think about it. Viv Richards, Curtly Ambrose, Malcolm Marshall, Courtney Walsh up against the Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist? Tell me that wouldn't be awesome, and you will be wrong.)
... Meanwhile, England have started making mistakes, but they're really getting no luck at all, either. Haddin just had a French cut go for 4. Credit to Anderson, he looked like he was going for "rueful laughter" rather than "frustrated rage".
