we need to prepare green wicket?? what u on about we lose the toss and we are stuffed if they bowl first...

For some reason even Mark Wood has been down 5-10mph this match

this same Aussie batting line up was hopeless on good bowling pitches in 2013. They were out for 150-200 every time, Anderson and Broad were knocking them over for fun. Back our bowling attack.

Let's face it, what choice do we have? We can't back the batting line up. Otherwise we will lose 4-1.

They're far from invincible, and fact is they're a better bowling unit than they are batting - it's only really their top 3 who are trouble, from 4 down they're very gettable.

We need to prepare a track where we can actually get through Rogers, Warner and Smith and then they won't make huge scores. That'll take the pressure off our ailing batsmen.

Preparing green wickets is fine if you win the toss.. wickets don't stay green for long.. bowled out for 200 and them getting 400.. the games over.. if you were to prepare a slow wicket.. if you do win the toss and bat. you've a chance to get a score.

anyway the wickets in 2013 WERE NOT GREEN. they were dry and dusty. Broad and Anderson got reverse swing. and we had a class spinner in Swann..

being totally hammered here.. Need to bat at Edgbaston on a slow track.. when it comes to our turn to bowl..straight and build the pressure.

Does Steve smith have the best record in terms of runs scored at 30 test mark after Bradman? He has 2920 runs after 30 test. almost 100 runs per test. Checked out few great batsmen viz sachin lara ponting gavaskar and smith tops them all at 30 test mark. Great start to a career from Smith.

Bell is in seriously bad nick
