Yeah, it's already started to go up and down occasionally. It has been a belting pitch to bat on today but doubt that lasts.

This isn't great is it. Only saving grace is if this turns out to be a similar pitch to Rajkot, which I've heard isn't likely to be the case?

It really felt like this was coming with Kohli in the last Test.

All the forecasts are that it will disintegrate sooner rather than later.

And yes, Kholi's pretty good on this sort of surface against mediocre spinners.

Yeah, we probably won't get a bat on it before tea tomorrow if we are lucky as well so India hold all the cards at the moment. Just need to pray we can get within 100 of their score and take time out of the game like they did in the last match.

I'm surprised why Rahane doesn't come down the wicket more often instead of trying to play from the crease all the time against spin, especially considering his relatively short height.

Such a pain for the fielders to go from slip and short leg to ground fielding every couple of deliveries.

Wait India are playing Jayant Yadav? Wtf? is Bhuvi still injured?

It's more due to this pitch being seen as spin friendly. Bhuvi has recovered from Injury but India have this new protocol where you have to play at least one game to prove your fitness/be match ready.

True, but he's not really threatened to take any wickets...

Not bowled a variety of pies like Ansari and Mo though. For him to bowl 22 overs and only go for 4 4's and a 6 is a good effort. 2nd best economy rate in the side today which is a decent thing to say for a leggie.
