McIntosh struck a six and 10 fours during his four-and-a-half-hour innings but missed out on a second Test hundred when he edged a ball from Hauritz to Simon Katich shortly before the umpires offered the light.
There were some good balls, and conditions in this series have not been conducive to swatting the ball around, so there are one or two mitigating circumstances, but we should not be playing four-day Test matches.
