A favourite ground of the late Shane Warne, The Gabba, or 'The Gabbatoir,' has not been a happy hunting ground for England. Just the two Test win's have come England's way since the Second World War. Usually the first Test of the Australian summer, perhaps the change in the traditional schedule will coincide with a change in England's fortunes as they look to right the wrong's of Rory Burns' leg stump.
