The slim chance NZ have of winning still
Has three big ifs. 
1. They have to bowl first
2. They have to have Aus 5 down at lunch
    To take advantage of the extra grass on wicket
3. They have to get at least 100 in front in first
Innings before the pitch gets baked and most likely
turns into the usual MCG road

If Kiwis bat first it’s one play lay of them for me .

8s looks a good starting point at the G.
That price has plenty to do with the debacle here a few weeks again in the S/Shield

This is a test match. They are never going to let that happen in the biggest game of the year, especially after receiving a warning two weeks prior to the game.

.45am Team news from the ground is that Australia will only make one change. James Pattinson is in for the injured Josh Hazlewood.

They won't have much choice! You think he tried to prepare a dangerous pitch before?
At the MCG they use an old fashioned system for drop in pitches, unlike most other places in the world.
Believe me the groundsman will be bricking it!

Australia were contemplating playing five bowlers but the curator Matt Page has left 10.5mm of grass on the pitch. There are clouds overhead. It will be a 50-50 call to bat or bowl first. The weather will get hotter and hotter as the week progresses with 40 degrees predicted for day five.

He's thinking the opposite of what you are thinking. He says that pitch guarantees a runway today.

Look at this footage and this is why ex players say the old bowlers were quick.
Everything feels much quicker when the pitch is uneven.
Uncovered and even first covered pitches in the 60s/70s were much dodgier than today's runways

The prep will have been done months ago, not sure the groundsman can do that much at this late date.
We shall see

This is what they had in Oct.

Not trying to argue as I know fk all about pitches but if the prep was done earlier, how did they have a runway in Oct and a dangerous pitch early Dec?
