Derek Brewer Quotes

No one had seen anything like it; every time England took another Australian wicket, the switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree. By the end of the day another 7,000 had been sold.

Everyone wants home-field advantage, but you don`t want it be unfair to the kids or anyone else. Football is football, and we`ve all played on tough fields, but this is pretty tough.

I don`t think people want the image of an unfair playing surface. I think that is the administration`s issue. We all want to be at home, we want to be at our house, but if this keeps everyone happy, then we`re happy.

That was miraculous. We`ve been working on that play for a while.
