*Official* First Test at The Gabba

Yes Prior's too important to risk in the first Test if there is any doubt over his fitness. It's a long old series. Though it'll be a massive boost if he is included.
yu just mean his presence around the team? Would you really lose much in skills with Bairstow?

It's a worry for Australia if Prior is replaced by Bairstow, strengthens the batting (and judging by England the keeping also).

Would expect Tremlett to be the third seam bowler, but praying to god it's Finn.

Sky Sports News reporting Faulkner will play ahead of Lyon, as has been suggested on here. They aren't confirming it, mind.

His presence and everything he offers outside of his own skill set, but yes I think we would lose plenty both behind the stumps and in front of them.

Also, 15 minutes since I put SSN on, football hasn't been mentioned once. A record, I'm certain.

Jesus Christ I hope this isn't true. Was just thinking this morning that they're probably going to try do something funky like they did in England. Poor Nathan :(

It wouldn't be the start of a test series if Lyon wasn't treated like ****

Haha Harmison says what I have been saying for years, that Johnson is the Australian version of him.

Johnson has one of the best test centuries I've seen live though..
