Now the England game is won, my attention turns to what should be a fascinating match full of great trading opportunities. Whilst Australia start as firm favourites, both bowling attacks should be capable of taking quick wickets. Potential showers are forecast so seems there will be rain intervals although I'm not convinced there'll be too much play lost to rain. Pitch reports aren't too descriptive but suggest this will be a result wicket.

I want to back Australia but the starting price of 1.7 isn't attractive as I think the Windies could be competitive (if only for parts of the match). I'm expecting the Australian price to reach at least 2.5 at some point over the first 3 days so I'll wait for that moment - if it comes.

What do people think? Any thoughts about the pitch?

I think that Australia will view the last session [min 20 overs] as a 20:20 format.How often do you see a side failing to score 131 runs in 20 overs ? I think that we will see at least 25 overs after tea and that will mean GSM to Australia.I am sure they are also anticipating the windies to be deflated and tired as they are ground  into the dust.
