Australia vs England 2 Pre-Game
Posted by Hamish McBrearty on January 19th, 2007
England won the toss and elected to bat in today’s day night game from Brisbane.
With Michael Vaughan out with a torn hamstring Andrew Flintoff has assumed the captaincy role once more and Mal Loye has been brought into the team. Loye has been playing for Auckland in the New Zealand domestic competition before being called into the England team as cover.
Australia have rested captain Ricky Ponting, promoting Adam Gilchrist to captain for this match. Also coming back at pacemen Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath who should be able to take advantage of a fast bouncy Gabba pitch. While the pitch will be fast it plays true meaning the if batsmen can get there eye in, the runs will come.
