Forget that rubbish Indian pitch, time for a real cricket pitch!
The Tasmanians have been threatened with fines by CA for having the pitch too green this year, it is considered the best bowling wicket in Oz.
The trend in domestic has been a lot of wickets falling early then bigger scores in third and fourth inning.
Aus have moved Watson to four and brought in Phil Hughes who has dominated domestic (and allegedly has a leg side game) - I think Hughes might carve it up against the SL bowlers who look pretty weak in the pace department.
The great Peter Siddle returns for Hastings, Hilfy in for MJ and Starc keeps his place.
No idea about the Sri Lankan team but they have been in very ordinary form of late, losing Test series at home and their batters usually take a while to get used to Aussie conditions.
Match starts in an hour, forecast is for a sunny but cool day.
