Exhibition of top class spin bowling by an Indian pair in ages. The last one by Ojha was worth the price of admission.

That was pathetic. Predictable and pathetic.

TBF one has to factor England's arseness against spin into the equation.
There is turn, but it's not a minefield. Pretty flat still IMHO.

Must be similar to one of those magical Sri Lankan wickets that are highways when Sri Lanka are batting but then magically transform as soon as the opposition batsmen take strike. Murali took all his wickets on dustbowls but Sangakkara scores all his runs on roads; interesting phenomena.

Looks like India are enforcing the follow-on. Happy with the decision. Back the bowlers to do it again.

Haha yeah. Pretty much half the posts on CW about subcontinental wicketts are pretty poor.

The odd ball has done more than others but it is still a decent track to bat on. Would any Indian be bothered by this pitch? Big fat emphatic NO.
Gooch and Flower need to be taken to task as it isn't though they haven't had long enough to sort the batting line up out in conditions like this.

Who has even said the word dustbowl? Again, its not black and white. If a pitch isn't a dustbowl in India its not automatically flat.
This is turning and was turning on day 1. Swann got 4 wickets against the Indian batting lineup on day 1. That is proof its turning more than usual and can be difficult to bat on.

Yeah, The pitch is certainly not a minefield but I'd say it's a good pitch as opposed to a dead one that people were going on about - Offering a considerable amount to the bowlers and rewarding batsmen who work themselves in.
It's certainly not as dead and lifeless as was being said when Sehwag was hitting England around for fun.
Ashwin hard done by with 3-80, tbh. Has been the bowler of the match so far.
