Temperature
Australia boasts an outstanding test match record at The Gabba, winning 33 out of 55 test matches played here and losing 13; England have proven particularly ineffective, winning just two of 29 tests played there.
Brisbane experiences an average temperature of 28degC year-round with peak temperatures typically seen between October and April. Due to its subtropical climate, moderate rainfall occurs throughout the year in this city.
Brisbane experiences hot and humid summer conditions with temperatures reaching 30degC; winter brings mild yet sunny conditions with temperatures above 20degC; spring and autumn bring milder conditions with temperatures ranging between 20degC to 28degC; this variation in its climate can be attributed to nearby Great Dividing Range which alters its weather significantly causing variations. It is no secret that Brisbane is Australia’s second warmest capital city after Darwin but is also second driest capital city due to the Great Dividing Range’s effect;

The Gabba is Australia’s premier oval sports stadium and serves primarily for cricket games. However, interstate matches for Sheffield Shield can also take place there while it’s home of Brisbane Heat in Big Bash League and Lions from AFL competition in winter months. Originally called Brisbane Cricket Ground (BCG), its current moniker refers to Woolloongabba where it sits within its vicinity – hence its new nickname of The Gabba!
Australian cricket team boasts a remarkable test match record at the Gabba, winning 33 and drawing 13 of 55 tests played there, while England, New Zealand and Pakistan each managed only one win out of nine attempts at winning there. England have only managed one victory there themselves so far and lost nine times during this series; England are expected to do better during Boxing Day Test and it may bring back fast bowling techniques that made the Gabba famous in this one day match-up.
