history says win the toss & bat first in sydney but no batting team has scored more than 300 batting first this series.
Having said that this is a bat first wicket all day long.Will be interesting to see what happens at the toss.
lets not get carried away.
hughes has batting average of 51
johnson home ground is waca
smith is a decent batsman & does spin the ball
england will have to bat well because we may struggle to get 20 wickets at perth.
The way I read it they are going to play smith as a batter (replacing north) with beer the spinne possibility of not playing designated spinner but extra seamer.
If that is the case aussies have very strong batting line up but no variation
As long as we play every ball on it's merit we will be fine.
Cook looks fantastic
Kp not so much (trying to dominate a left arm spinner that can't spin the ball)
I know I'm tempting fate but this seems to be a waste of sleeping time.
If the weather hadn't f***ed all the weekends football I would f*** off to bed
But this will probably be the only live sport on this weekend so I feel I have to
Watch us humiiate the Aussies.
