Absolutely amazed that we have left Broad out on that surface.  Robinson and Broad opening up on that surface looks as good a chance as we have had in 30 years to make an impact in Brisbane

Well that’s about as disappointing as it gets walking up early for this scorecard, back to bed as seeing an opener get bowled round his legs first ball is more than I can take these days. Bloody l h stump half volley

Only slight negatives are that Hameed showed character, and Pope looked good. Buttler too, I guess.

England have centralised a lot of control with Chris Silverwood and this day feels like a failure on his part.  A team selection that looks like it was made in a conference room back in England in October followed by a poor decision at the toss dictated by getting the team selection wrong.  Hopefully the rain is worse than forecast

That was about is depressing as it gets 1st day of an Ashes, waking up to that, then watching through those dissmals. Burns was an absolute joke!

I blame Nasser TBH he has put the fear into future England captains bowling 1st in Oz.

As for the team selection I really think Silverwood has this fixation on rest and rotation and long/medium term planning, rather than the actual game that's on now. I get that Broad and Anderson are getting on and the Pink Ball test is straight after, but all the stats say if you lose in Brisbane, you lose the Ashes, simple as that.

Don't really understand the decision to bat first looking at the pitch.

That said, abysmal batting performance from the top order (barring Hameed who at least showed some spine) and England as a whole looked undercooked. Yet again, going into a big series without adequate preparation in place.
