Pitch And Weather Conditions
There are predictions for rains on the first three days of the Test Match and batting would be tough. The ball is likely to seam and swing during the course of the game. The pitch is likely to have some grass cover and both the sides would have to see off the new ball and work on building partnerships on this surface.
VENUE
Edgbaston, Birmingham has been a good hunting ground for the fast bowlers especially in the first innings of any Test Match where the Duke Ball swings and seams around. Batsmen who work on building their innings have done well at this ground. Spinners are likely to play a role on this surface from Day 3 onward.
Toss Prediction
It is going to be very tough conditions to bat in the first hour of play at Birmingham and fast bowlers are likely to enjoy bowling on this surface. Given the prediction for rains and cloudy weather the side winning the toss is more likely to bowl first on this surface.
Winning Prediction
Host England would be very confident after their triumph at the World Cup. English cricket hasn’t looked any better against the Australians in the lead up to an Ashes series at home in many years. Though Australia may have put behind the lows they had suffered at the start of the year they still have a tough task at hand against an English team that is looking dominating at the moment. Going into the first game hosts England would start as favorites.
