Looks more like a tennis court than a cricket pitch...

Nice beach towels.

groundsmen are having a pretty there tonight ftr

The crease area looks like the surface of Mars.


More chance of finding intelligent life on Mars than in India though tbf. B00000m.

Ashwin now at 69 wickets @ 30-odd and 600 runs @ 45-odd one day into his 13th test.

What a find for India.

We're also seeing the making of two ATG bats in Amla and Clarke right now, IMO.

Couldn't catch the game today apart from bits and pieces but seems like a good day.

If only we had the good sense to play by far our best performing spinner of recent times on a ****ing spinning track.

 

[Burgey]

Going to be interesting to see how Lyon goes here. Very different bowler to Ashwin. Be interesting to see how he goes about it.

 

[benchmark00]

Interesting.

 

[Burgey]

There's a tale of interest there somewhere.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Make sure you sweep the courts at the end of each set. And a quick water.

 

[Spikey]

it's a good thing we have hawkeye in play

Clarkeh.

That is all.

 

[Briony]

Indian attack looks very weak. Why no Ohja?

Coz Dhoni and the selection committee are a ****ing bunch of brainless farts, thats why. This has to be the worst selection call in a long time

Disappointed i missed the days action

 

[Valer]

I think the strength of Australia's position is being overstated. I'd even call India a hair ahead (400AO par)...

Pitch isnt great by any means and you have to assume that it will only get worse

Also interesting that the Indian quicks, who arent in the same post-code as their Australian counter-parts as far as quality is concerned, got movement all day

350 will be a good score IMO

**** you India, when I left you Australia was 180 odd for 5.

Was it more of the same **** from then on? (Ashwin bowling well, seamers being Indian, Harby bowling pies and Jadeja being tight but unthreatening?)
