You'd have to think that a greentop would negate any advantage for either side. Depending on how green it is, one of the quicks from either side could take a huge haul (though I'd say of the Aussie quicks, Siddle would be most likely). It also means that Australia wouldn't need to play Holland. It'd be a duck hunt for both sides fast bowlers.

But I have no doubts that if anything it'll be more of a turner than the last test.

The ICC test rankings for Australia are very volatile at this moment.
If Australia win the second test, they move up to #2; if it is a draw, they drop to #4; if they lose, they would become #5.

If Australia wins this test and then the India series, will they go to number one?

I'm wondering if Pakistan will keep Wahab despite the detritus he sent down or go for someone else. I'd like to see what Hamza is made of. Having been a follower of Sadaf Hussein's career for many years I've got plenty of time for Pakistani bowlers with ridiculous domestic figures, and have been disappointed that the aforementioned has never gotten a go.

This is ludicrous. Australia are all time turdworthy at the moment (even imagining Smith and Warner are still in the side), and England at home aside, they haven't won anything for a long time. It's kind of a negative indictment on the woes of the levels of world cricket at the moment. Basically, the world is playing at late 80's level Australia.

Yep I can't remember a less competitive time in world cricket since the 80s. and even then there were some ATG players.

Australia is helped by only ever losing to South Africa at home.

What about Junaid Khan, is he fit?

Don't forget that Australia's current ICC rankings are based on a whole bunch of games from pre-Sandpapergate times.
