Brisbane pitch holds no terrors - YardMan - 11-20-2013
The pitch for the first Ashes Test in Brisbane could suit England.
Australia have not lost at the Gabba for 25 years, but the pitch will be more conducive to spin than normal, which is potentially good news for England and Graeme Swann.
Australia will probably field their own spinner in Nathan Lyon, but England will be confident Swann will outperform his opposite number.
Brisbane's pitch is traditionally fast and bouncy, but a batsman's paradise once established. That has suited Australia far more than their opponents in the last quarter of a century.
Groundsman Kevin Mitchell jr said: "I think the challenge will be less for the English this time because they have guys who have been here before and the nucleus of the team have had success here before.
