Australia has always been 1/6. UK has been 6/1

Paine would have dropped that

Based on what I have seen of Malan, he's going to struggle all series around off stump against Hazelwood and Cummins
Completely forgot it’s starting today, for some reason I thought it starts tomorrow (the series here usually start on Thursday?).
Anyway, eventful first half hour I missed. Root gone now for a duck. This is going to get really ugly.

Stokes just looks to have so much more time than everyone else so far

Don't know if it's because I don't watch FTA these days but it feels like there's been very little build-up to this series

For some reason I always thought the GABBA test was Thur-Mon
With the way this one is going Weds-Fri could be on the cards!

Everyone bats first in Brisbane.

It has traditionally been the case. Gives a bit more break between this and the AO test

Paine being a bit of a creep could be a blessing in disguise. Cummins has had a faultless start to his captaincy and Carey looks pretty tidy behind the stumps.

He hasn't had to keep to Lyon yet
Yes I’m the same, can’t recall the last time I watched FTA television (probably the India Test series last summer). Haven’t really noticed much build up aside from the Paine saga/Cummins appointment as new captain. It’s definitely an adjustment watching FTA again and dealing with the unrelenting ads.
On the match itself, looks like the aim for Australia will he to just bat once. This is a very meek opening day by England and I really hope it’s not representative of the series itself. At least want to see a contest.

Couldn’t ask for a better start to being the new Aussie captain, 5fa and skidded the poms for 147.

There has been no build up to this test series as there haven't been a succession of warm up games due to covid and bubble s**t. Also, they just rocked up after the t20 world cup.

Australia would still be batting on this wicket had we won the toss. It's not that vicious as to cause a 140 odd all out score.
Also; This will haunt England captains into never bowling first at The GABBA.

Yet still a better option than Harris.
