What to expect: Hot weather, and a dry pitch in all probability. It is supposed to be the same one that saw Australia take on South Africa. With the soil being a mixture of black and red, there is expected to be a lot for the spinners to work with. A day ahead of the game, it witnessed plenty of work on it under the supervision of Andy Atkinson, ICC's pitch supervisor. With some watering first followed by methodical rolling with a light roller first and then the heavy one. How it plays is up for anyone's guess, but there were a few keen eyes from the England camp as it was going on, and as ever could dictate what combinations the teams field.
Interesting. I never thought/realized that weather can make a significant impact on the game.
