Come on guys, don't be so naive.
I bet its a tactical ploy by the captain of England.
He knows its a good batting wicket, so why does he put the Aussies in to bat first?
Reason,= to draw the test so that the Aussies wont have the same mental strenght as if they win outright.
If England bats first, they have a 50% probability of collapsing hence handing the Aussies the first test and being down 1 nil.
If Aussies bat first, then they'll bat for nearly 2 days and hopefully Hussain is betting that England can last 2 inis, hence a drawn test and hence the mental strenght points go to England, because the Aussies failed to win.
Then the pressure will go back onto Australia.
Everything happens for a reason, i don't think Hussain is that stupid.
Then Again, England could collapse and lose the test as everyone is expecting so it wont matter.
you heard it here first.
