Well the Aussies are already pre-emptively whining about England getting the better of the conditions etc.
Bollocks mate. We're hoping the conditions stay the same when we bowl, which will give our blokes a chance to utilise them. A real whinge that.

Moisture content of the air is the bigger factor than pure sun, I reckon. The ground being still quite wet would make the atmosphere at ground level still quite humid. If the Aussies don't get useful swing, that's poor bowling.
Hilfy swings it just about anywhere, so that's not an issue, but the real problem is none of the other Aussie bowlers are swing bowlers, so they would have to really on movement of the seam and accuracy to take most of their wickets.

Would be great if Mitch can get some swing going, ideal conditions these for swing bowling, and despite all the criticism that comes his way, he does tend to swing the ball in helpful conditions.

I really do hope so, I do enjoy genuine (legal) swing bowling, its such a a rarity these days. Would be an injustice not to see both sides show their wares.
