The Ashes (Australia tour of England)

[Going North]

Be a good toss to win and have a bowl on a damp green top against a fragile Aussie batting lineup.

Expect the Aussies are thinking the same.

Rain God will returns on day 3 & 4

Burns,Mo and Denley struggle vs Ireland, I wish them good luck vs Aus spinner Lyon

Did Australia seriously rest Starc and Hazlewood?

Beats me.Might just be the trick playing a bowler who can move the ball both ways on this wicket.

I think the tracks would be similar to the ones England played against India last year. Flat and slow with not much of bounce and ball coming nicely on the bat. If there are Overcast skies the batting would become difficult due to the breeze in the air and the swing which bowlers like Anderson would try to exploit.

It's true you get fewer green tops than you used to but Edgebaston has always been a bowlers pitch.

I think it's good, will help new fans recognise the players

Broad is a different beast when he’s on song!

Pretty even I'd say after Smith and Head built a good partnership. Unfortunate that Warner didn't review and Bancroft and Khawaja played a deliveries that they could've left.

Any information regarding the pitch ?

It's still there.

Really like the numbers and names on the back of test kit.

I think Australia have made an enormous error by leaving out Hazlewood. He's a class act and in English conditions it's near madness to drop him. Can't get my head around the Wade selection either.

About time that they realize that they need someone with more skill will be more helpful in England than someone like Starc. They are not playing in Australia that they can use Starc and his pace to blast batsmen off. They need someone who might not be express but has enough skill to move the ball around in England. Even though I would have gone for Hazelwood instead of Siddle but I don't mind them not playing Starc.

P.S. Very excited to see how Pattinson goes. I have always rated him very highly since I saw him first time in their home series back in 2011. Hopefully he survives the whole series without getting injured again.
