Australia v England 'Gabba Test

[Battler]

Lyon and Starc look good, Hazle uncharacteristically bad, and Cummins average (not sure why he's considered an instant pick, but whatever).

This rain delay is perfect for you guys to all get up to speed on curling, the greatest sport known to man.

Curling whilst drunk is heaps of fun. Otherwise, I really found it really hard to get into.

Tim "best keeper in the country" Paine drops his first catch, and an absolute sitter at that. One of the selectors' gut instincts fails, Marsh up next.

Well who could have seen these selections coming back to bite? I bet the selectors are shocked.

It's going to be interesting when the pitch drys out and the Aussies go out to bat

 

[Broncs_Fan]

Pitch has been rubbish. Slow and lifeless.

 

[Browny]

The weather the last few weeks has been pretty crap tbf

I think people are a bit harsh on the pitch, England scored 200 in a day which is pretty standard. It was a bit slower in the morning but then just became a normal 'Gabba pitch.

The ball that got Cook- jagged and wobbled.
Cummins' ball to Stoneman went through him off the pitch.
Cummin's ball to Root was beautiful and came back.

It hasn't been hot in Brisbane and it's been raining a lot so it hasn't been flying everywhere but it is still pretty standard now.

And if it wasn't yesterday afternoon, it will be this morning. Can't wait for the first over!

Great morning session, would love to keep them under 320.

Still looks to be a great batting wicket.
