Won't be a road. Will be bowler friendly. Result is coming.

the last 3 tests at the waca have been bowler friendly tracks. so it will be the same. also we will have commentators raving about it being back to it's old self. the old waca pitch was white with a sheen to it

I just hope it's fast and bouncy.

The old waca ran out of that clay that was underneath in the glory days. So it won't look like the white track with the sheen on it.

I think Perth has been the only city in Australia in the past week capable of producing a green pitch. Plenty of rain should make for a lively first 2 days.

Siddle and Hilfy out because they need a rest.............WTF????????????

What the hell has happened to everyone these days, why is everyone so soft in Australia?
Need a rest Pleeaasseee!!!!!!!! Cricket is played in hot weather, it is a summer game. Siddle bowled what 20 odd overs in a day, whoopy do.

Not blaming Siddle and Hilfy, these sports science people are destroying the game.

What crap, need a rest.

There's a theory that all this bullshit bowling restrictions (on our u16 and u18 cricketers etc) and the 4 over spells in T20 cause more injuries than they prevent. Its a theory I agree with.

The way to have a long career as a bowler is to get your body used to bowling long spells.

Wasn't there a thing in the last year or so where they replaced the clay?

Wasnt with the same stuff though. He sourced some stuff from down in the vasse region somewhere. It's still fast and bouncy just not as much as the glory days and it looks different

Hopefully we get a proper test wicket...

...which leads to a 3 day result.

That's what Jim Maxwell was saying last night. He reckons there will be a result by day 3.
