SO lads, you didn't like Brisbane?
Welcome to your red-dirt rendezvous in Alice Springs.
Kevin Pietersen and the pasty-white Poms are set to fry in Australia's outback in probably the worst preparation for a Test match in the long history of the Ashes.
It was a stinking 41 degrees in some parts of the Alice when the Poms arrived in the Red Centre on Tuesday but there is promising news on the horizon.

There is a cool change due and it should only be a relatively mild 38 degrees when the Poms slap on their sunscreen for the two-day game against a largely anonymous Chairman's XI side on Friday.
Despite getting flogged by Australia at the Gabba, Pietersen's arrogant strut returned before he left Brisbane when he refused to remove his headphones to talk to anyone at the airport.
But the man who thought Brisbane was dull is desperately hoping for something more in Alice Springs, although the only thing he will probably get is sunstroke.
"Ciao Brisbane ... Apart from the result, the week was fun!," Pietersen tweeted.
"Never been to Alice Springs, so quite looking forward to it.. X"

As the Poms turn lobster-red in the baking Alice Springs sun, they will also realise their two-day game against the Chairman's XI is doing precious little for their Adelaide Test preparations.
There are some talented youngsters in the Chairman's side but no household names and the game is unlikely to provide the stern workout the bedraggled Poms desperately need before the second Test.
The Chairman's side contains 16-year-old batsman Jake Doran, from NSW, and will be captained by 29-year-old WA spinner Michael Beer who has played two Tests for Australia.
While the game could provide valuable experience for some of Australia's up-and-coming cricketers, it is basically a nonsense match for England who are unlikely to derive any great benefit.
They will head to Adelaide next week with red faces in more ways than one.
