No news on Pryor as yet, allegedly Doctors decision.
Think we are strong enough to overcome this is he is not available.

Aussies favourites for this Test yet we are jollies for the Series, our record must be bad at the Gabba

Not so much we have a bad record, but more that the Aussies have not lost in 24 tests there.

Agreed. Hopefully get a couple of early wickets and that will really turn the pressure up on them.

Exactly what I was going to put. I rekon they'll be under big pressure.

I also like the point Botham made that we will now have the whole team out on the pitch together to start the defence of the urn as a unit, rather than 2 individuals starting.

Anyone staying up for this? Will try and squeeze in the first session before crashing out, knowing my luck it will be a dull 80-0!
