Amidst the joy at actually winning a test in australia, it should not be forgotten that this match lasted just two days, due to a poor track. Not good enough.
 
5 balls more than the Perth test! Think there might have been an even quicker one than that way back in the midsts of time.

Bowled out twice in 79.5 overs. Fastest since 1928 when then were bowled out twice in 76.3 overs

It was actually Don Bradman's debut at Brisbane and England won by 675 runs!!!

The actual record is 53.5 overs by South Africa vs Australia in 1932.

There's also been 28 instances of a test match ending within 2 days. Before Perth though the last one was in 1912
 
We've won ,a consolation prize at least it's not a white wash, and maybe rather than looking forward to their flight home and a battering off the media, they can Go to Sydney and put on a winning performance, Then the press can reannalise the mistakes made in Perth and Brisbane. The barmy army have been rewarded for all their patients,, and in four years time we'll return with renewed optimism.
