Glamorgan describe the pitch for the first test as "slow and flat"

Hmm. Bit of an attempted double bluff or playing it safe to try and stop their bowlers getting up a head of steam early in the series?

If true then sounds like win the toss and bat and hope to lay down a marker with a big first innings score?

I obviously don;t want us to lose this Ashes series but I hope we don't turn out a succession of flat pitches where its impossible for the bowlers to take 20 wickets.
