Now bowling straight breaks. He's got one with a one off freak ball while last match Lyon had endless bat pads just evading the fielders.

tbh I think India just bowled badly. ever since they fixed their plans batting has looked very very difficult
The amount of sideways movement for the pacers has increased quite markedly though the bowling's no more accurate than it was just before lunch.

If balls are randomly spitting off the pitch all the more we should have gone for Ravi 'natural variation' Jadeja.

300-320 on this dig wins the match for Australia. Those cracks are misbehaving badly for day one

India must chose between 4 and 5 bowlers. Other than this, its impossible to get the balance wrong. 3 proper quicks first. If you want a 4th, you add Bhuvi. He's not ideally suited, but balances the attack well. Decide if playing a spinner is prudent. This decision can be made by asking if the game is being played on one of the most vicious pitches RSA have ever produced. If no, play spinner. This leaves an equivalent quality pace attack. And a batting lineup with two allrounders, which I actually prefer to a number 11 and a questionable specialist. Plus a free spinner.

Outrageously stupid selection, even by India's lofty standards

Yeah I wouldn't be judging this pitch until both sides have batted on it. But there are some balls here that are behaving in ways that a first day pitch shouldn't.
