I think had the Aussie bowlers been bowling yesterday in overcast conditions they might have got the ball to swing, but no chance of that happening today given the conditions, Aussies better work on the ball and get some reverse going otherwise there isn't much in the pitch for the quicks to work with.
Yeah it looks a pretty flat deck (as it usually is for test matches) except for those cracks. If it stays at these temps it'll certainly open those cracks up and there could be some fireworks.
Yeah if those cracks open up we could see a hint of invariable bounce coming into play and then a bowler like Siddle (who generally attacks the stumps) would prove to be very hard to play.
Yeah. They're in dangerous areas though, so they'll be touched often enough to be some sort of worry.
Great to see blokes like Mitch and Hauritz doing so well with the bat, but the fact that the Aussie tail has wagged with consistency right through the series, kind of shows up how dire the Aussie top-order have been right through the series.

SuperSport is reporting that Smith's out of the test.
And he was on Sky a lot but he was tosh (back of a length, never swung the ball) and outbowled by Kabir Ali so it is easy to forget.
Ah so Hauritz will be useful with the ball for once then.
How long will it be then? Its up to you reallyand craigos looking good for a MJ avatar
So Andrew McDonald - one Test wonder then?
Looks like they'll get away with it because of Johnson.
Amazing how he's gone from so, so poor against England and Bangladesh to this. I thought he'd turn it around, but not so completely and comprehensively.
default one month ...or if you really like it you may keep it for everHow long will it be then? Its up to you really
