The Ashes started at the GABBA in Brisbane today. The Australians were under pressure with England on a decent 197 for 4, it looked like England might post around 300 by the end of the day with a few wickets in hand.
Peter Siddle was celebrating his birthday and decided to kick of the party but taking a hat-trick to crash England to 197 for 7.
