Pitch Report | Adam Gilchrist and Mike Hussey: The average score batting first is 173, the average winning score is 178. There's a longer boundary on one side, very short on the other side. There's a lovely, even coverage of grass. It's absolutely rock hard. With the brand new ball, it could offer a lit bit of pace and bounce and maybe a bit of movement. Once that wears off, it's going to be magnificent to bat.
Short: We would have bowled as well. It's always a nice wicket, chasing is always better. Our fans are awesome. It's going to be pretty full tonight. Allen is out, we have Pope coming in. Lynn is out with calf soreness
Stoinis: We got little injury scares for Hamish McKenzie. So Doug Warren makes his debut for us. Sid (Siddle) comes in for Couchy, Duckett comes in. we've got one more change (Maxwell). We've missed him, he's the heartbeat of our side. We've doen a lot right.
Melbourne Stars have won the toss and have opted to field
We could possibly see four Englishmen in action today.
