Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

I doubt any batting or bowling in India or Dubai will be very relevant to the UK or Wales.


Not sure about that - England now play 2 spinners (plus JERoot) at all times.... and their bats like the spinners.  Look for most of the wickets (aside from Headingly etc) to turn....

I think it's fair to question the relevance, the UK's worst pitch will look lush compared to most subcontinent tracks. The ball will last longer and stay in better condition throughout the innings, the bounce of the pitches is significantly different even if they turn square, and the UK curators won't throw out considerations for the likes of an Anderson just to make life easier for a Root!
