Ashes 2019: Justin Langer expects flat and dry wicket at Lord's
London, Aug 12: Australia coach Justin Langer said that he expects a flat wicket at Lord's for the second Ashes Test which starts on Wednesday. Australia, who lead 1-0 in the series will be looking to double their advantage at Lord's where they have a very good record agianst England.
"The wicket is really interesting, it looks like it's going to be a really flat wicket to me," said Langer. "It's not a surprise … the wicket is the last thing you look at when you come to Lord's. Most grounds it's the first thing to look at but here, there's so much else to admire and love about being here. But whether it's a green-top or a dry wicket, we have really good options and that's nice as a coach and selector," he said.
