Don't you normally bowl first at the Gabba if you win the toss?
Always bat first at the Gabba is the tradition. Nassar Hussein infamously got that one wrong in 2002 and saw Australia finish the first day 364/2...
Though when I head about the pitch being green I did wonder if it was going to be an unusually difficult decision - the ghosts of 02 vs the actual state of the pitch...

At 11/3 already, this series could make Mumbai look like an even contest.
We will see what happens when Australia bats. The pitch isn't going to dry out much in these conditions.

Fuck me these Australian commentators are awful.
It's like listening to a random bunch of drunk Aussie blokes watching the cricket.
Channel 7 here started with Beefy and Ponting. Now Hayden and Damien Fleming.
I assume you're getting Warne et al

Yep, we have Kerry O'Keefe already trying to relive his non-glory days of the 70's, and it hadn't even reached the first drinks session...

Kerry O'Keefe
53 wickets at 38.07, Glenn Turner never stood a chance!

It's weird because O'Keeffe was great on radio. Is it Fox or the company in the box?

All of the above, plus he's not always as funny as he thinks. When it's the first hour of the Ashes in 2021, and you're on air claiming you could bowl out Glenn Turner with a soggy tomato, the shark has been well and truly jumped.

Burns sets an unwanted record:
A few opportunities to add to it this year too.
