Salisbury converted a 65th minute penalty to put Australia in the lead, but a dogged Italy scored a deserved equaliser with 12 minutes remaining.

After 151 appearances, Salisbury bowed out of international football in the 84th minute, to a standing ovation from everyone in the ground and with a tear or two in the eye as she received hugs from teammates and officials.

After a fairly stale first half played in oppressive heat, which saw neither side score, the second half opened up with all four goals scored.

It was a cautious start by both sides with the Italians showing some nice touches, while Australia was looking to hit on the break with the pace of Lisa De Vanna.

De Vanna set up the first real chance of the match in the 15th minute, winning a 50/50 tackle; going past the keeper in the box; but her cross from the by-line aimed for an unmarked Katie Gill, was blocked away for a corner.

From the corner, Gill had a header at goal, which the Italian keeper failed to collect, but fortunately for her was cleared away.

Melania Gabbiadini was proving a handful for the Australian defence and she went close in the 18th minute, shooting just over the bar from 15 metres.

Gill then went the closest to opening the scoring after 26 minutes, turning her marker in the box and shooting against the bar.

Gabbiadini did likewise in the 41st minute, her turn and shot from 20 metres, hitting the top of the crossbar.

Italy opened the second half strongly with Gabbiandini denied by Melissa Barbieri and Roberta D'Adda shooting across the face of goal in the opening eight minutes.

But as she so often does, De Vanna changed the course of the game when she scored a brilliant individual goal to set Australia on their way.

A brilliant dummy over the ball on the right, allowed her skip clear on the right and cut back inside and onto her left foot and from just inside the penalty box, curled a delightful shot that glanced off the near post and into the back of the net.

Italy equalised three minutes later, Pamela Conti capitalising on a poor touch by Kate McShea to nip and steal the ball, beat the challenge of McShea and Lauren Colthorpe and then slot ball underneath the advancing Barbieri.

De Vanna almost scored goal number two with a shot just over the bar from a Gill pass, while Gill headed wide of the post from an Elise Kellond-Knights cross, with the goal at her mercy.

Australia's pressure paid off when substitute Sarah Walsh was brought down in the box by Italian keeper Chiara Marchitelli and a penalty awarded. There was onlyu ever going to be playing taking the kick and Salisbury made no mistake from the spot for goal number 39 of her illustrious career.

But to Italy's credit they kept coming and levelled it up again in the 78th minute, when Australia failed to clear effectively from a corner and Alessia Tuttino hit a magnificently struck shot. Barbieri, at full stretch, got a hand to it, but couldn't prevent from hitting the underside of the bar and going in.

With only a few minutes to play, Salisbury's international career finished and in a fairly poignant moment and real changing of the guard, Australia's most capped player was replaced by Danielle Brogan, who was making her international debut.

The match petered with neither side threatening a winning goal.

“The game in general was good. However, we would have liked to come out of it with a win,” said head coach, Tom Sermanni.

“From a crowd perspective, it was a thoroughly entertaining match and in the end, a fair result.

“Of course this match was also significant for us with the passing of an era in Cheryl’s last game at international level. It was a fitting send off in front of a passionate home ground,” concluded Sermanni.

The next match in the two-match series will take place on 7 February at Canberra Stadium with kick-off at 4.00pm AEDT. Tickets available from Ticketek.

PRETTY WOMAN
PART 5

INT. PENTHOUSE BATHROOM - DAY
Vivian turns on the water in the tub. It fills the tub in a
torrential rush.
VIVIAN
You could hold a pep rally in
here!
The phone on the marbled bathroom wall suddenly rings. Edward
reaches for it.
EDWARD
(into the phone)
Yes.
INT. STUCKEY'S HOUSE - INTERCUT
Stuckey is walking around his desk.
STUCKEY
Edward, it's me. Kross is all
set for tonight.
INT. PENTHOUSE BATHROOM - DAY
Vivian stares curiously at the bidet.
STUCKEY
Listen, I gotta say this again,
I don't like you going alone.
She turns it on. The water hits her in the face.
EDWARD
(stifling a chuckle)
I'm a big boy.
There are lotions and shampoos and bubblebaths on the edge of
the tub. Vivian regards them like a kid in a candy shop.
STUCKEY
Let me at least get you a date.
Keep it social.
Edward watches as Vivian smells some bubble bath. She smiles.
Her eyes ask Edward if it's okay to...? He nods.
STUCKEY
Edward, did you hear me?
EDWARD
I'm here.
STUCKEY
I know a lot of nice girls.
Vivian pours the bubblebath into the swirling water. There's
something about the look on her face... the way she bites her
lower lip... curious, sensual...
EDWARD
I have one.
Edward hangs up the phone as Vivian curiously turns on the
television. The sound blares. She fumbles to turn it down.
Edward reaches over and turns it off.
EDWARD
All right. How much for the week?
VIVIAN
What?
EDWARD
I'm in town until Saturday.
She look at him like he isn't speaking English.
EDWARD
Do-you-want-to-stay-here-
for-the-week?
It takes Vivian a moment to respond.
VIVIAN
It'd cost you.
EDWARD
Of course. How much?
VIVIAN
Five full nights... days too?
Edward nods. Vivian hesitates... it's got to be enough to
really change things... She shoots for the moon again.
VIVIAN
Four thousand.
EDWARD
Vivian, may I point out five more
nights at three hundred a night
is only 1,500.
VIVIAN
But you want days too.
EDWARD
All right, two thousand.
VIVIAN
Three.
EDWARD
Done.
VIVIAN
Holy shit.
And then, quickly getting herself back together, she flips on
the sexy smile.
VIVIAN (cont'd)
Sugar, you got it. I will treat
you like a prince. Anything,
anyway you want.
EDWARD
I'm not just talking about sex.
VIVIAN
Look butthead, I'll treat you so
nice you'll never want to let me
go, okay?
EDWARD
Three thousand for five days.
And Vivian, I will let you go.
INT. PENTHOUSE BEDROOM - MORNING
Edward comes out into the bedroom. Vivian quickly follows.
They move through the bedroom into the living room.
EDWARD
I'll be out most of the day.
He reaches into his pocket for a money clip. He peels off
bills. He hands the cash to Vivian.
EDWARD
I want you to go out and buy some
decent clothes.
Vivian's eyes go wide at the amount of money.
EDWARD
Nothing too flashy, not too sexy.
Conservative. Understand?
INT. PENTHOUSE ENTRANCE WAY - DAY
They're at the front door.
VIVIAN
Yeah, you want me to dress like
your high class girlfriend.
You're wasting your money though.
All I'm gonna do is hang around
the hotel. As a matter of fact,
I may never get out of that
bathtub.
Edward opens the door, he starts to exit. He turns back.
EDWARD
Think again. I'm taking you out
to an important dinner with me
tonight.
The door closes in her face.
INT. OUTSIDE THE PENTHOUSE DOOR - DAY
VIVIAN (O.S.)
(from inside)
What? Are you crazy?
Edward smiles to himself.
EDWARD
Probably.
INT. PENTHOUSE BATHROOM - DAY
Vivian is stretched out in the hot bubble bath. The TV is on.
She clicks the remote control in her hand.
VIVIAN
Three thousand...
She lies back into the soapy water and disappears. She suddenly
pops back up, laughing.
VIVIAN
Three thousand!
A thought occurs to her. She reaches for the cordless phone.
She dials. She waits. She is about to disconnect when the
phone is answered.
KIT (O.S.)
'Lo.
VIVIAN
Kit! Where've you been?
KIT (O.S.)
I was asleep. You woke me. You
okay?
VIVIAN
Kit, listen, the guy last night,
the one in the Ferrari, I'm at
this hotel, the Regent Beverly
Wilshire, it's this absolutely
unbelievable place and he's hired
me for a whole week and Kit,
listen, he's paying me three
thousand bucks! We can get out
of the apartment. We can get out
of this town. We can do anything!
(silence)
Kit? Hey, you there?
KIT (O.S.)
Why'd he want you?
That hurts. Perhaps because Vivian's been wondering the same
thing.
VIVIAN
He... he just does.
KIT (O.S.)
I'm sorry, Viv'. Carlos has been
on my back.
(a beat)
Did you get the money up front
like I taught ya'?
VIVIAN
Three hundred for last night and
he gave me extra to buy some
clothes. Now listen, I'm gonna
leave an envelope for you at the
front desk.
Give me two hundred to the scum
bucket and the other hundred to
that asshole landlord for part
of the rent. Spend it on drugs
and I'll pull your hair out.
KIT
I'm getting dressed now. I'll
be over. Bye.
VIVIAN
Hey Kit, where do I go for the
clothes? Good stuff on him.
KIT (O.S.)
(brightening)
In Beverly Hills?
VIVIAN
Yeah.
KIT (O.S.)
Baby! Rodeo Drive.
INT. HOTEL LOBBY - DAY
Vivian comes out of the elevator and crosses the lobby. She
is back in her hooker clothes. She leaves an envelope at the
front desk.
MR. THOMAS, the prim, middle-aged hotel manager, steps out from
his office. He stares in surprise and displeasure as he sees
Vivian exit out the front door. Vivian doesn't notice the odd
stares she gets from two well-dressed MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN who are just entering.
EXT. RODEO DRIVE - DAY
Vivian is looking wide-eyed and delighted and yes, more than
a bit overwhelmed. She passes store windows... and MORE STORE
WINDOWS... and still MORE STORE WINDOWS. Each display is more beautiful and expensive than the one before.
Vivian is also aware that she is getting odd looks. From
PASSERBY'S. Two beautiful dressed GIRLS her own age look at
her, turn away and giggle. The uniformed GUARDS that stand at
attention in front of many of the stores, stare at her suspiciously.
Feeling more and more uncomfortable, Vivian comes to a posh
woman's boutique. She hesitates for a moment. She enters.
INT. BOUTIQUE - DAY
Vivian is no sooner in the door than she is subject to the
disapproving stare of a SALESWOMAN standing behind the counter.
SALESWOMAN
(cooly)
May I help you?
VIVIAN
I'm just looking, thanks.
Vivian tiptoes through the shop as if it was filled with delicate glass objects. She cautiously examines a dress. The Saleswoman quickly comes around the counter and approaches her.
SALESWOMAN
Are you looking for something in particular?
VIVIAN
Yes. Something... conservative.
SALESWOMAN
Yes...
Vivian eyes the Saleswoman, puzzled at her tone. She examines
a dress.
VIVIAN
You have beautiful things.
(no reply)
How much is this?
SALESWOMAN
I don't think it would fit you.
VIVIAN
(beginning to get the
drift)
I didn't ask if it would fit.
I asked how much it was.
SALESWOMAN
It's very expensive.
Vivian's body tenses as she stares at the Saleswoman.
VIVIAN
What is with you?
SALESWOMAN
(unblinking)
Excuse me?
VIVIAN
I'm going to spend money.
SALESWOMAN
I don't think we have anything
for you here. You're obviously
in the wrong place.
Vivian is speechless. She turns and stomps toward the door.
She stops and spins around staring at the Saleswoman. Vivian
flips her off. She throws the door open and storms outside.
The Saleswoman calmly strolls back to her counter and returns
to her place.

　　Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. wow gold, The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.
　　The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight url=http://www.wowgoldvip.fr]wow gold[/url]. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult WOW Power leveling life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we conscious of health until we are ill.
　　I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some wow gold
time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. WOW Power leveling Now and then I have tested my seeing friends
