In all honesty..... Australia should never lose at The Gabba... it favours their style of cricket too much. I always look at the gabba match as an indicator as to how well the team is... lose or struggle here and you can pretty much write off the series to whoever they are playing.
a GOOD Aussie side should trounce any opposition at first test - Gabba.
Prediction.... Ponting out caught in slips within first hour todays play
