00:00If we went 1-0 down at home, we would probably be going to our groundsman at the second test saying
00:06can we have a bit more of this, a bit more of that, to use our home advantage in our favour.
00:16I think if you look at the way that the first test played out,
00:21if another wicket like that was produced, maybe that gives us more of an advantage just because
00:27of the way that we take the game on and how we play it. Using a used pitch brings a lot more
00:37into the game for both teams actually. If it does spin more, if it does reverse more,
00:44there's more options there for both teams. It could be a tactic, I'm not sure. I've never
00:53seen a used pitch before used in back-to-back games and I've never seen fans that big standing
00:58as umpires.
