No tons this game. None of the bats on either side play the bouncing ball well enough to ton up on a WACA flyer, I reckon.

Look up Chris Rogers record playing at the WACA, he's made 13 1st class tons there.

Any guesses regarding England's aggregate score in this test?

Sub-200 must be a possibility.

I'm not sure about an aggregate of less then 200.

But I can definitely imagine 2 innings of less than 200 each.

In fact I'd give evens on such an outcome if I were a bookies.

I'm mostly gambhiring here, but I do think that England will put more of a fight this time around. Reckon it could be a close one.

Yeah there's still the ever-present worry of a debilitating collapse lurking around the corner.

It's just a bad venue for is to try to wake-up in.

Had it been 2-0 heading into another ground with 3 matches left, I'd be more inclined to agree.

A lot of times betting agencies do this for free advertising. The money they may potentially lose by England coming back and drawing/winning the series and having to pay both out is off set by the value of everyone talking about it at no explicit charge (given they view Australia are likely to win anyway) to the firm.

plus it's online betting. basically no one ever takes their money out of the account, they'll just put another bet on the cricket.

Batters in the Australian Lineup that go well at the WACA
Chris Rogers- David Warner- Shane Watson (has a good averages Test and FC)- Brad Haddin - George Bailey (FC record there surprised me)
Average was
Clarke average was low 30's for both Test and FC and Steve Smith well Smith maybe shouldnt play as Mitch Johnson's batting average there was some 8 runs higher in both Test and FC.

Bowling Mitch Johnson record there is well awesome in both forms- But Ryan Harris average there was like low very low.
Average - Siddle was mid 30's at the WACA which surprised me in both Test and FC and Watson was the same.
Poor - Nathan Lyon (Should not Play) his average was over 50 plus in both Tests and FC at the WACA.

If Pattinson was fit you would play him there in heart beat.
As well maybe consider Sayers now that Bird , Starc and Faulkner are all injured. Sayers there with both bat and ball were pretty good.
But the Batsmen there the pic of the best players to take Smiths spot without doubt either Marcus North or Cam White. There averages there are pretty great and considering them 2 are the best in form batsmen this year.

Do not call up Phil; Hughes very bad at both Tests and FC there in fact both were well below 30.

don't change a winning combination ect,

Spinners can have an impact at Perth, and Lyon with his bounce is the kind of guy who could do ok, and Smith reckons he's tightened up since last playing at Perth so we'll see
