It's unthinkable that any side won't bat if they win the toss. The Brisbane pitch is rock hard, bouncy and quick - should see some great cricket.
My day/night reversal starts here.
England are on the back foot already with their selections imo. Gilo never frightened anyone.
Pietersen had better learn how to bat a bit more like Vaughan or we're fuqued.
Still...
Come on Harmy!

This test should be Englands best chance of winning a test.
I really do think we're going to get whooped

Damn the Aussies won the toss get some early wickets
They always win the fecking toss

The don't. Vaughan won the majority of them last year. And when Ponting eventually did win, he made the wrong decision.
That's true
Still...feck em

Alot of sleepless nights ahead. The pitch loooks good we need to make most of the new ball and early wickets just a bit worried about Harmison
Why wasn't Monty picked? He would have done better than Giles.
Seamer's pitch, and shoring up the batting in the first test, is my guess
Still much rather see Monty there though

Yeah, he's a much better spinner.

National anthems at cricket matchs. Barmy army on form

Even the home fans were booing me...serves our coach right for telling me not to "take any risks"
Boycott's off on one, a rare bit of bollocks being talked here by the great man, about England being shit at football, since winning the World Cup
