Yes thanks MG
Weather
16th - Fine and dry
17th - Ditto
18th - Cloudier with chances of showers later
19th - As 18th
20th - Chucking it down from about lunch

This forecast makes the toss important. Win the toss. Pile on 450 runs in 4-5 sessions. Get the opposition in under cloudy skies. This is surely the plan for either captain

If England bat for 4-5 sessions they'll have significantly more than 450.

Remember it well, as I do 2005. I merely quote the BBC. The most reliable info from them is their weather forecast. Just think that for either captain to put the opposition in would be rank foolhardiness.

With the top 7 being pretty nailed on for both sides atm. the main choices for Aus is between 2 from 3 options given that Cummns and Lyon are certs. Aussie fans can discuss who they think should play, My money is on the same team that beat India. England have moire difficult choices. Anderson, Broad. Robinson Wood Moeen et al, How much can Stokes bowl? Wood? I know who I would like to play but think that they will go for Mo, Wood Anderson and Robinson,
