Grand League Punts
> James Anderson has 51 Test wickets at Edgbaston, the most for any bowler. He averages only 22.6 runs per wicket at this venue, making it a happy hunting ground for him.
> Among the active players, Joe Root has most runs at this venue - 669 at an average of 60.8 (two hundreds). If England bat first on what is perceived to be a flat wicket, Root can be your captain to shoot your fortunes up.
> Nathan Lyon picked 6/49 the last time Australia played at Edgbaston (in 2019). Spinners have picked nearly 25% of wickets in the second innings at Edgbaston since 2018. That makes Lyon a good vice-captaincy prospect if you like to take risks.
