Ted Corbett, veteran of a million Test days, says: It's the eve of the - if you listen to all the TV and radio bull - most important Test in history and I am dead worried that the fighting Aussies might squeeze out a series victory 1-0. Oz ought to lose because they are a poor side, with a mix of old and raw and suffering all the misery like bad selections, Michael Clarke's bad back and, unjustified ambition from their fans, that goes with losing. Logically England 3-1.
Jo King, Statistician Royal, says: Do not, Andrew Strauss, on pain of an hour under the water board, put the Aussies in. Understood? Len Hutton did, lost by an innings, won the series and got a knighthood. Nasser Hussain still cannot believe, eight years on, that he said: "We'll field." Peter May won the toss at Brisbane in 1959 but Nasser is the only one since and where is his tap on the shoulder. If the captain does as he is told England 2-1
The rich guys in the Gabba: Sorry to be so down but we will follow KP all the way back to the pavilion - and still cheer an England victory here. As for the series, well, not so sure. A draw maybe 2-2
Greg Orry, Aussie barracker, says: I can't back the Aussies but I trust England can win with a bit of style 3-0.
