The WACA is not losing pace and bounce.
Sydney is a very good pitch. Good for the bowlers day 1, good for batting day 2 and day 3 and then great for the spinners on day 4 and day 5.

Wait for the Test Match. It may not be as bouncy as it was in the 80s, but the pitch is gaining pace and bounce from the past few years.

Benauds comment that they should bowl a spinner in the first session is quite an obvious one.
With the Indian lineup there is no way Sharma, Singh and Ganguly will bowl for 2 hours, without Kumble and Harbajhan having a bowl.
Spin will be on before the drinks break I think.

Right.... and well, if a pitch is good for the pacemen on day 1, good for batting on days 2 and 3, and take spin on the last 2 days, then you're talking about any pitch any pitch in general mate.... but we'll see....

Cricket, Lovely Cricket
The great thing about this Indian team is our bench strength and not relying on a particular player that much. Have said this so many times on cw but this is evident at best right now... we are missing our best fast bowler and it doesn't seem to affect us much. Too early obviously and missing Zaheer is not good but I am not as fussed as I would have been had say we lost Srinath in a test in the 90s - which highlights what I am talking about.
On a less serious note, we finally have a battery of fast bowlers?
Silent Striker... care to make a new avatar in place of wheel of mediocrity?

Right, we'll see... but mate, your assessment on the SCG applies to just about any pitch anywhere...

I wouldn't go that far. We are simply not bad anymore.On a less serious note, we finally have a battery of fast bowlers?

Love how you quoted my point twice P Caddy and gave different answers.
It's still going to offer a bit for the spinners at the SCG on the first 3 days. It's just you'll notice the difference most likely towards the end of day 3 when the scuff marks will be huge. Who wants to see a big turner on Day 1? Not I..
