Well Jim our record at Edgbaston is good and punter's not so. What will he do if he wins the toss and it's a soggy overcast, ball swinging and dipping around sort of morning? dare he opt to bowl after last time?

Especially realising that if he loses another match he can't do better than draw the series. He really is in danger of having his aussieness revoked. Maybe New Zealand would give him sanctuary if he lost the ashes...?
