Seems like I missed a lot of racist **** flinging

Surprised Vihari didn't bowl at all. India doing well to keep the run rate under control, but big ask to save the Test now. Glad to see Green finally score some runs. Good prospect.

Decent start here. Rohit on schedule to throw this away within the next 30 minutes or so.

I always think of the Elgar-Amla partnership at Port Elizabeth in the 2nd test that changed the entire complexion of that series. Put lots of work into the bowlers. Allowed ABdV to play a magnificent innings against a tired bowling attack. Frustrated the hell out of Aus, and for me slowly led to the implosion of the Aus mindset. Slow frustrating play has its place in Test series.

Well then...

Indian spectator Rishi Aryan, who was seated in the same bay, told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age on Sunday: “All these boys were doing is a bit of sledging of the player on the outfield. First it was Bumrah then they had a sledge against Siraj. They kept calling him Shiraz and all that crap. Next thing you know they said: ‘Welcome to Sydney, Siraj’ and then he got the shits. That was literally it. Then he walked off.

“I don’t know why [the police kicked the men out]. Next thing you know you see police everywhere. It didn’t make sense. It was confusing.”

Another spectator with his family believed there was nothing racist said. He also corroborated Mr Aryan’s statement that the phrase "Welcome to Sydney, Siraj" was used.

Can't blame him for getting sick of drunk ****s yelling at him from the crowd. Also can't help but wonder if the player actually said that it was racial abuse or if everyone just assumed it.
