There was no better place than the Gabba for Steven Finn to show he really can overcome the problems that threatened to nip his England career in the bud. It was here in Brisbane last year that Finn was sent home from an Ashes tour where he failed to make a single international appearance and was branded ‘unselectable’ by England after his action had virtually fallen apart. The road back has been long and tough for a man who was once among the most promising and potent fast bowlers in the world — but this was the day when he took giant strides towards re-igniting his career.
