The WACCA is fast too.

Sydney is 'traditionally' spin pitch.

Hobart is Medium pace - swing.

Adelaide & Melbourne is a Batting pitch

The WACA is not as fast as it used to be but is known to crack up as the game goes on....My guess is England will struggle with a very inexperienced side on Australian pitches???

Huh Huh Huh

Win the toss and bat, bat bat bat.

Keep the Poms in the field as long as possible, their bowlers will tire in our conditions.

We are in front with bowlers, feel a bit fragile in our batting.
