*Official* First Test at The Gabba

Where's Harmy on? I've got Bob Key and that aussie bloke that bowled with both arms.
Harmy and Hoggy are in the Sky Sports News studio.

Is Sky Sports 2 being re-branded as Sky Sports Ashes again or is that just where most of the cricket's going?

It's on Sky Sports 2 because you can pay less and just get SS1&3.

Didn't realise there was any cricket preview on elsewhere but tbf SSN have had a pure cricket hour, been great

Beautiful morning in 'vegas - whoever wins the toss will almost definitely bat as forecast for next few days not great

There was an interesting doco on about it here on abc on Monday. A bloke who can't play at all wanted to know what it would be like to face it. They reconstructed the footage of larwood and used computers to reference land marks at Adelaide oval to estimate his speed (143-147 ftr).

The bloke ended up at Allan Border Field facing Brett Lee in a cap, old pads and gloves and a 30s style bat with a Bodyline field . Got five balls through and pulled the pin. **** himself

147 in that equipment would not be pleasant. Faster than I would have thought.

Logic behind Tremlett's selection is almost antithesis of MJ's IMO

Unless Tim has somehow rediscovered his form/pace in the nets, not unhappy that Poms haven't picked Finn as the latter is definitely more of a wicket-taking threat atm
