If Aus lose in Dehli then the team will reach a low not seen since the 'easy beat Yallop team' were hammered 5-1 in the 78/79 Ashes series in Australia. The Oval and Old Trafford spinning wickets might be more comfortable after the horrendous time and decent practice the four Indian spinners have provided on this tour. Should be interesting to see how they go against Monty and Swann

Should be interesting to see how they go against Monty and Swann I don't know whether Old Trafford still spins in the way that it used to , there are several new pitches since they turned the square around .....I can't see England playing two spinners in the ashes...but you never know

It would be hoped that 150 years as being one of the finest squares in the world wouldn't be too compromised with the 90 degree turn. I would suppose the players will be grateful of not having the sun in their eyes, especially when facing a quickie. (not that Aus will have a full compliment of quickies this year) What's the view of the county players - does it take spin like it used to or not. I've not followed the reconstruction close enough (or not all) to make a comment.

Apparently the pitches are a lot slower now an don't have the same bounce ...it does spin but not like it did in the past
