I see most have gone with Swann for most wickets. The obvious choice of course however, I just see the Aussie groundsman being told deliberately to prepare none spinning wickets considering they don't have a decent spinner and they fear ours

I reckon Swanny is gonna have his work cut out this tour.....

Good toss to win, get through the first hour or so and there should be runs.

Let's hope we can get a decent score that puts THEM under pressure and not us.
