[ChudLubber]

You would think marnus would put that shot away after being bowled almost every innings using it.

that’s such a horrendous graphic because it doesn’t tell you where the captains bat

thought rohit was dropped at first glance

Also Steve Smith looks like a velociraptor in that pic.

 

[Burgey]

How do you know he isn't one?

have we ever seen him open a door

Definitely a tough pitch to score quickly against spin on. Might be a day for the purists, this one.

 

[Zinzan]

Decent session for Australia after batting 1st but picking India to storm back in the 2nd session & have them 171/6 at tea.

Anyone for a Tea score sweep before play resumes?

Zinzan - 171/6

Yeah looks like a more 'normal' Day 1 Indian wicket - there's some turn but it's consistent and it's slow, and no-one's getting any bounce. I don't think Ashwin and Jadeja (or the Oz spinners for that matter) will be as threatening for batsmen who trust their techniques but it'll be hard to score quickly against accurate spin bowling, and throwing it away like Head did is a killer.

I think this sort of pitch is actually where the biggest gulf between India and Australia will lie. They should've tried to make all four like this IMO.

Hayden is one of the poorest commentators I’ve heard. Shut him up and bring the god of commentary back

Yeah this here is the pitch where we desperately need a certain P. Cummins.

@Burgey was Modi all along?? ??

Yadav has a pretty good record for a bowler who hasn't been able to consistently keep a place.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Yep and he is bowling pretty good pace for a 36 year old seamer

He really should have been playing this whole series instead of Siraj

And a positive attitude too, very much Siddle-esque.
