All eyes on the pitch. Let's hope there is a bit of juice in it for the quicks and spin for the tweakers.

 

[SherbertLemon]

I'll get the ball rolling.

The pitch is flat and rubbish.

Gloomy morning in Sydney. Some light showers but nothing dramatic. Meant to improve over the day and forecast is good for the next four days.

You mean we can't have an annual rant over Sydney's weather? Disappointing.

You'll get a chance this morning I reckon. Raining in Randwick right now.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Woakes wont be missed...
Done absolutely nothing in this series.

Bullshit. So much to play for. Important game for players like Bancroft and Khawaja who need runs, with tour of Sth.Africa coming. Mitch Marsh would like to finish the series on a high. England have a debutant, Crane, will be interesting to see how he goes. England will be desperate to win a test match in this series.

Exactly. Must be pretty light rain. Not alot on the radar.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Test hasn't even started yet and it's already raining in Sydney... absolute disgrace!

Sydney is a joke. Pathetic. All matches should be in Adelaide.

******* wet hole Sydney is.

Glad I live in the 2nd driest capital city in oz.

 

[Andronicus]

All tests should be at Etihad.

Even before a ball is bowled, the national anthem is crap.

 

[LFC2010]

thank fk Melbourne and Sydney are the last 2 matches of the series.

 

[Kipz]

Jane would be disgusted in what Sydney has dished up over the years.

Yeah it's usually like my son - wet and windy, with a change on the way........

Not at all - Smith has a chance to score 4 centuries in an Ashes series. And I'm sure guys like Bancroft and Khawaja care about it: their performance here may determine their future at this level.
