From cricinfo commentary:

Michael Clarke: "The pitch has got a fair bit of grass, and we decided to go in with four quicks. Bowling first today will help us win this Test match. India are a strong team, with a lot of knowledge and experience, we need to be strong this morning."

So Clarke is talking about bowling first today... and India can bowl second today...

Shocking how Sharma got a gig ahead of Ashwin. Not saying either of them deserve to play, mind.

 

[hazsa19]

Oh Pattinsin's injured...what a disappointment.

Have India dropped Ashwin? Hes been their most consistent batsman!

 

[Jarquis]

Harris take a wicket first ball or something?
Didn't realise the market closed when play started

 

[hazsa19]

inb4 "If Sehwag bats for an hour India have won the match etc"

 

[Spark]

That pitch is waay more green than I thought it'd be.

 

[Jacknife]

Man that is one green pitch.

 

[benchmark00]

Sososo green.

Delicious.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

That's greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.

"At least he's not facing Jeff Thomson"

Ticking off Crazy Sam's list rather quickly.

 

[Burgey]

Well, two out of three taken below knee height. Think it will quicken up days two and three.

Slips are too deep, Fremantle Doctor needs to come in etc etc

 

[benchmark00]

That's greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.

Nah ****, I mentioned that.

 

[NUFAN]

So great to come home for an extended lunch and get paid to watch the first session.

Has the camera position changed a bit? Normally at Perth it feels as though we are further away from the action. Anyone else agree?

 

[hazsa19]

If Holding were commentating he would be telling his story about the time he bowled a bouncer that sailed straight into the sight screen after pitching.

 

[Nate]

Copes on this wicket?

[/thisismadnessthisiswaca]

 

[Spark]

The Doctor *tick*

 

[benchmark00]

The Doctor been mentioned.

Into the second over.

 

[Burgey]

Check out the scuff marks Harris left after one over.

Juicy.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

2020 style shot there.

Yep!

Something not right.
