First English wicket to fall seconds after.10AM in Brissie...so 00:00 GMT
Johnson uprooting Strauss' off stump would do it , followed up by a few at Trott's head and neck region.First English wicket to fall seconds after.
Hopefully.

Didn't they say the same thing about the last time they were down here?I'm glad I declined Cricket Australia's kind offer of tickets because I have a feeling this will be the worst Ashes in living memory.
Which probably means that it will be the best Ashes in living memory.
You mean worst in terms of quality of cricket?I'm glad I declined Cricket Australia's kind offer of tickets because I have a feeling this will be the worst Ashes in living memory.

If they're not gonig to honour us with a new forum we can just take over this one.It's not like Australia have suddenly turned into Kenya. Still a very good side.
I guess we aren't getting a new forum..
Don't disrespect Kenya, they made it to the WC semi-finals in 2003, which is more than what England have done in recent times (excluding T20).It's not like Australia have suddenly turned into Kenya. Still a very good side.

Ok, I lol'd
I think Doherty's going to surprise a few people. Saw only a few overs of him, but looked a decent bowler.The Doherty selection strikes me as something England would of done in the last two decades in Ashes series.
He has been picked purely on the basis that it will irk Pietersen rather than on actual bowling skill merit.
That has to be a positive for England - the Aussies are a bit scared

Too right. Should be getting off to my pit to be honest, but I'll have to stick it out for the first hour, at least.Can't wait for this. It's by far the biggest event in the cricketing calendar. Nothing else matches it.
