It is pretty exciting, I just hope we hammer them.

I'm staying up for a bit, the coverage starts at 11 but does anyone know what time the actual match starts ?

I'm a big Tremlet fan, think he could be awesome out there

I'm a massive Tremlett fan if he's at his best, but I'm also a big Finn fan. I think England should say to Finn 'we're going to play you in 10 consecutive Test matches, show us what you can do', that would make him.

The worry with finn is he can be taken apart at times and very expensive - still a good bowler but work in progress.
These quick pitches will suit our fast bowlers just as much as theirs if not more so .

Finn can go for runs but he takes wickets, if you bowl him as a strike bowler he'll come good. He needs to captain and coach to show faith in him, with confidence he'll be one of the best in the world.

A bit of ITK(we'll see how accurate!) but a mate at work used to go to school with Tremlett and is still friends with him, he's starting tonight.

I tend to agree about giving him a few test matches but not sure the ashes is the place for it - maybe next summer !

I thought everyone knew that as soon as he was left out of the last game - worst kept secret in cricket :)

Bumble, aggers and co all said last week tremlett had been given the nod.

Weather good in Brisbane this morning play should start on time, maybe the odd shower in the afternoon

Its not ITK or very relevant but I have played cricket with Tremmers and he is absolutely massive.  Hope we smash the convict muppets.

Sounds like Faulkner is starting for Aussies, no spinner other than Smith.
