**Australia vs Pakistan: First Twenty20 International – Live Updates**
Stay tuned for live updates from the first T20 match of the series taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane. The match is set to begin at 6 PM local time (7 PM AEDT).
**Weather Update:**
It appears that the worst of the storms are moving north of the ground, which gives us hope for a shortened game. I will provide any official updates as soon as they come in. The latest possible start time is 8:30 PM AEDT, which would allow for a 5-over Slogapalooza.
**Player Insights:**
In a recent conversation, cricketer James Anderson reflected on his career and the uncertainty he faced without cricket. He shared, “It’s a great question. I’ve no idea. I did sixth form and thought of going to uni if I didn’t get a contract. I didn’t have a clue what I was going to do if cricket didn’t happen. It’s frightening because I’m sure there’re many people in that same position and they don’t have that something I loved with a passion. I feel so fortunate I had cricket.”
Anderson's wife, Daniella, expressed her frustration when England let him go as a player. When asked if she still feels that way now that he has returned as the Test bowling coach, he replied, “I think so, yes. She’s been my biggest supporter from when we first met. I had injuries, and she was the one who motivated me to get going again. She just felt it wasn’t the right way to have done things. She felt I should go on my own terms. But I think it’s easing now.”
