**Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

[Starfighter]

The infamous 09 Test was very green on the first day wasn't it?

Nah it was yellow-brown. The only green wicket I remember here was 09/10 against Pakistan and visually it wasn't this green.

Aussies desperate for a win, preparing the most greenest wicket I've ever seen in a Test in Australia

And they cry whenever india produce turners lol

Well, if Virat Kohli takes 6/9 on this wicket, the situation might be identical.

EDIT: India can prepare whatever they want, I have no problem with it, but it's not exactly the same. But the knock is that the pitches are so badly one sided that it removes skill and even relatively bad bowlers can run through sides.

Cummins looking super dangerous

Yeah scary stuff.

And like India batted first lol. Clearly Bumrah doesn't think it's that bowler friendly or he'd have had a go himself.

a green wicket doesn't help Australia lol

Batting allrounder.

lineup feels way stronger for India already, not having a walking wicket at opener or 1-drop

Surely if they were going to put their thumb on the scales they'd produce a complete road, draw the game and win the series 2-1? It's India that need the win here.

If Starc doesn't get one this over it should be Boland time IMO.

Yeah scary stuff.

Three Tests the non Bumrah's on the Indian side haven't figured it out. Looks pretty though.

He opted out of classy test match batting

Gambhir will be opting out of a calm reaction to that
