*Official* First Test at the Gabba

I don't think you'll ever appreciate just how much I'm looking forward to this.
You're going to get eviscerated. No quarter. No mercy. And that's just by your tabloids.
We're going to royally pwn your good-for-nothing soap-dodging, toothpaste-avoiding, nudge-and-nurdling, WAG-hopping, ladyboy-impersonating, skunk-styling, Shermanating, pedalo-riding, Murray Minting, colony-seizing, Scotland-annexing, Thatcher-electing, Simon-Benson-watching, Wimbledon-failing, Warne-hating, McGrath-hating, Sky-commenting, Bodyline-bowling, Bodyline-as-leg-theory-distorting, Hick-mishandling, Flintoff-venerating, Harry Potter-spruiking, Fleet-Street-hyperbolising, royalty-stalking, chav-culture-creating pillocks back to the Golden Age of cricket. Where Billy Murdoch and Victor Trumper will continue the work of decimating you, only more attractively.
There is no greater feeling than to crush your bowlers, drive them to the boundary before us, and to hear the lamentations of your WAGS.
Like a child playing keep-away, the mother country will collapse into sobs as they realise that what was not rightfully theirs is taken away and returned home, and that their perverse game is no longer. And your Limey tears will be the sweetest of candies.

Today, I realised that Stuart Broad is the physical manifestation of Draco Malfoy. Whiny, self important blond ponce, with a bit of talent, and evil genes running through him.

This kicks off at 10am QLD time doesn't it?
Am trying to work out when I have to be up by! Want to catch the first ball.
If Harmison was still playing there's a decent chance I'd be in the perfect position.

Not sure if its true or not, but Warne mentioned that Ponting hasn't inserted the opposition in to bat since Edgbaston 2005. If we see a jungle of a pitch at the Gabba tomorrow, I wonder what he'd do.

TEC - To be honest, if Ponting didn't bowl first at Headingley in the summer, he won't bowl first tommorrow, (almost) certainly.
I suspect that, either way, England are going to be bowling first tomorrow. Just a hunch, mind.

Test Match Sofa, the alternative cricket commentary | Welcome to Test Match Sofa has divided opinion on these boards (it's very unapologetically English) but provides guaranteed live commentary on every ball. It's basically a group of friends and cricket nuts watching Sky in one of their mates' flat.

I know he's not meant to be popular, but Draco Malfoy is my favourite character in Harry Potter. A bit like Broad, you're not meant to like him but you can't help it.
Oh, I forgot Snape. He's my favourite really. Alan Rickman, the hottest man in the world.

Bollinger blindsided by Ashes axing | The Australian
Bollinger is going to fly to Perth, play two days of Shield cricket for NSW, and then fly back to Adelaide for the second test. I'm not sure that's going to prove him as any more fit than now.

It would be an even braver call for Strauss to insert after Nasser's mess-up in 2002.
Been widely reported that Ponting overruled Warne's vociferous objection to bowling first at Edgbaston after McGrath's injury
Battle of egos and Ponting lost
Tbh, my biggest fear is that Oz bat, collapse and that sets the tone for the series
Far cry from when we were one of the batting teams ever just a few years ago and would've blasted these Poms to all parts
