*Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

Norwood's on Fire
It's crazy how despite the spam only 2 English cricketers have 30 tons. Obviously, moderately above average players like Bell and Broad have benefitted massively from test spam to accrue big aggregates at modest averages but England having the most players to play 100 tests and yet only having 2 guys with 30 tons shows you how poor their batting stocks over the years. And one of those 2 is Cook. Not exactly ATG.

With the pitch dying, the worry for England is the Cummins is still a huge threat on such surfaces. Moreso than these England seamers.

with rain expected and loss of overs, if the Aussies get a 100 lead will they declare ?
That may depend on whether Cummins believes to 72 hour weather forecast, which reckons there will be no play after lunch today and none on Tuesday. But Monday should be OK. If that's right, having a dart at England tomorrow wouldn't be the worst idea.

English genetics are bottom of the barrel
