For a change, I’m glad to be home today – the Ashes starts today ini Queensland, at the Gabba. Ponting won the toss and Australia bats first. The great Richie Benaud says: “3 key points – Hayden, Langer and Ponting must last the session, England musnt put any chances down – no dropped catches, and Warne factor – Gabba would turn on the last day.” First ball about to be bowled by Harmison. Bye…
