Just learnt that our group is going to be joined by one of the founding members of the Barmy Army ... I wonder if it's the guy with the trumpet?

Enough talk, I'm off to The Gabba ... doubtless all will become a bit clearer in 10 hours time ...

The 1st test between Australia and South Africa A has just started at the Gabba.

South Africa A have just lost a wicket - Van der Strauss for 0.

Hilfenhaus! Go on my son, get in there!

Goodbye Strauss... out for a duck. England currently 1 for 0.

Personally, I am very happy by this selection, as I think Bollinger is to be feared.

I can't believe that was Siddle. Did they re-engineer him up with bionic implants or something?

They were going on about the same thing in the local media.

Siddle is one of the most fiery and spirited bowlers out there, even more so than Mitchell Johnson in my opinion. Once he gets the confidence and belief up he tends to go nuts and rip through batting orders. That's the type of bowler you want in your side.

Looks like Australia will rip the throat out of the English.
