The Gabba, Brisbane

Day one of the Australia and India Test at the Gabba in December 2014, a full slip cordon waiting on a pitch known for bounce and carry. The Brisbane ground in Woolloongabba was Australia's fortress for a generation: after losing to the West Indies there in November 1988, Australia went unbeaten in Brisbane Tests until January 2021, when Rishabh Pant's 89 not out carried India to a three-wicket win and a series victory. Traditionally the ground hosts the first Test of the Australian summer.
