Seems unlikely that Warne is going to like this pitch: Warne likes pitches with pace and bouce.. where the rotation he gets on the ball (and the air he gives the ball) leads to the ball spitting off the pitch (high and fast). On this track Warne's balls are just going to lose all there energy on impact and die quietly - if he's anything other than superbly accurate he's going to be vulnerable.. and if someone likes Laxman gets after him I could see him even being hit out of the attack.

Kumble and Muralitheran get little out of Aussie pitches.. because there's not enough rough for them.. and Warne doesn't like sub-continental wickets because there's not enough bounce: that's cricket.. they just have to live with it.
