Our man Down Under, Paul Collingwood, arrives at the Gabba and speaks to his former skipper Michael Vaughan in his latest Ashes diary vlogs.
Vaughan, who captained England as they ended a near two-decade Ashes drought in 2005, emphasised the importance of the first Test at the Gabba where he expects a result despite a troubled forecast.
That's a view echoed by our expert Dave Tickner, who makes the case for an Australia win despite what he describes some "astonishing" selection decisions.
