The cynic in me says Aus will squeeze a win here to give us all a 5th test showdown, I think Voges being replaced by Marsh is wise from Aus and we're missing a trick not doing similar with Lyth.. I don't think hes capable of big scores required. (Come back to bite me in the ass hopefully)
Really looking forward to today. You can be sure the Aussie's will fight back today. I'm assuming if they win the toss they'll bat first and try and get some runs on the board and put the pressure on the England bowling attack missing Anderson.
The weather forecast looks fair set, bit overcast maybe so could be something for the bowlers early on. Just hope the pitch is more of an Edgbaston-style strip, given us a test between bat and ball rather than the awful pitch we had at Lords.
Simon Hughes jut put a picture of the pitch on twitter, looks a green top, with the cloud around I think fielding first will not be a bad thing, Jimmy would have loved it.
