It looks like the usual Woolloongabba batting track to me so the question of who spins the ball better is a bit academic. Without any swing and nothing at all from the deck, the seamers were on a hiding to nothing. The new ball swung a bit but that won't last, and Flintoff will be over-bowled and knackered before it starts to reverse.

The key for me is whether our top order can get a few runs on the board so we can avoid the follow-on and play this one out. We'll see.
