I've a feeling the Ashes could be changing hands here. Obviously I hope not, but I fear it could be a repeat of last tour.

Shane Warne will take his 700th wicket.

Note: He has 685 wkts at the start of the Ashes, so 6 each at the Gabba and Adelaide leaves 3 wkts for Perth

Could well be a draw really. Worst pitch, its flat as a tack. Rip up the pitch and pour in some quick set concrete, imo.

Worst pitch in Australia. Take it back to the old days, I say, with inch wide cracks!

Never liked the WACA Test match

Always seems like a soul-less affair.

The ground looks soul-less on TV too.

Yep. At least there'll be a result. The WACA is like concrete.
