I agree though, there'd be nothing wrong with England preparing a surface that favoured them. Not really sure what that would entail, mind you. I can't see a "result wicket" really helping England that much.
It helps Australia as much as it helps us, butit should ensure that the team that bowls better wins, I think I would rather us lose this game than draw it
