*Official* First Test at the Gabba

The weather better not dictate this match. Really hope when Australia bats the weather isn't overcast...If it is then a first innings score of >250 will be tough to match.

Australia has a fair go policy now to avoid players parents complaining their son's aren't getting a run.

Looking at the swing Watto is getting, Hilf should probably be a bit disappointed. Maybe I was overrating him a bit earlier. He's a good bowler, but maybe not likely to run through lineups even in swinging conditions.

Probably Australia's session, always a good effort to break a partnership before it gets out of hand and keep the scoring rate under control in the middle session.

Another evenly matched session. Cook is batting smart and scoring some quality runs. Siddle had two huge wickets, while Johnson is completely inaccurate today. Good thing the rain appears to have passed by.

Again an even session IMO, impressed with Cook's solid performance after lunch since I thought he looked a bit vulnerable in the first session. Bell's looked confident too, and if they can guide England to a score of 5 or 6 for, say 270 at close, I'd say England will have edged the first day.

Pretty evenly balanced - next session decides the day. 260/6 not so bad if one of Bell or Cook is still there. If Aus or England can do better than that then they will have had the balance of it.
