Barring that odd crack, it has nothing to offer for the pacers. Even the track on which Brad Hodge cracked a double ton against SA in 2005-06 did a bit on Day 1.
On a lighter note, if David Crane comes back as the curator, he is welcome. The one who prepared that track at the WACA against WI in 1996-97 (Blewett getting cleaned up by Ambrose) and as a result, was fired. Or for the matter, Scott Hamilton, who was responsible for that pitch that helped Ambrose take 7 for 1 in a jaw-dropping spell. Ah, Hamilton too lost his job in 1993 and Crane took over from him.

With out a doubt.
This match has played Taylor back into form, so NZ should be pretty confident going into the last test.
2 new players coming into the Australian team, and the unknown of the day night test. If things pan out for NZ then they could well draw this series.
