Some much-needed sunshine over the weekend has Gabba head curator David Sandurski confident the pitch for the first Ashes Test will be in prime condition.

"Rolling is a key indicator of how to get a good wicket but you also need the wind and the sun to finish it off, to bake it and get it rock hard," Sandurski said."It's definitely tricky with that weather.

As the Gabba prepares to host the first Ashes Test, curator David Sandurski thinks overhead conditions will play a bigger part than the pitch itself. He wasn't, however, in a position to offer advice to new Australian captain Pat Cummins about what would be the correct option at Wednesday's toss.
