agree the conditions are crucial

England's bowlers are geared to English conditions. And Harmy has been a bit dodgy for ages now (4 or 5 duff tests for every good one). They'll struggle to get Aussies out on flat Aussie pitches (agree Jones is a loss but not sure whether he'd get much reverse swing in Aussie conditions)
