Ben out to end historical talk of Aussie fortress

- RORY DOLLARD IN BRISBANE

England won their first two Tests at the Gabba, in 1933 and 1936, but have only tasted success twice more in 20 attempts.

But Stokes, whose side go in 1-0 down after defeat in Perth, does not feel weighed down by the past.
