Maybe I am hallucinating!

I could have sworn I read somewhere that Fleming was out of the first test. Not so, apparently. Teams as presented on the BBC website are:

Australia: Justin Langer, Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting (capt), Damien Martyn, Darren Lehmann, Michael Clark, Adam Gilchrist (wkt), Shane Warne, Jason Gillespie, Michael Kasprowicz, Glenn McGrath. (12th man: Brett Lee)

New Zealand: Stephen Fleming (capt), Mark Richardson, Mathew Sinclair, Scott Styris, Nathan Astle, Craig McMillan, Jacob Oram, Brendon McCullum (wkt), Daniel Vettori, Kyle Mills, Chris Martin. (12th man: Hamish Marshall)

Doesn't change my prediction. Still Australia by a canter, I think. Weather forecast for Brisbane: sunshine and low thirties for next few days, cooler on Sunday. So horrible I just wish I was there.
