Bit weird to see subcontinent fans disparaging a deck like this. Would be a fairly unremarkable 2nd day Indian deck, which is fine.

It's definitely a bit slower than I was expecting, though. Again.
Not all of us like an unremarkable 2nd day Indian deck just because we're subcontinent fans.

Today was the first day of the series which I slept through all - the disappointment when I woke up and saw the score was almost painful

Why does everyone keep coming up with excuses for the likes of Smith and Kohli scoring loads of runs?

Just enjoy it ffs.

I really do think they're fine though. The explosion of scores in India is a Kohli thing, not a pitch thing.
Yeah I don't mind them either. Nair 300 and Giant 100 is kinda taking the piss though.

It's probably because Steve Smith becoming the second greatest batsman of all time owns almost everybody who had an internet connection between 2010 and 2012 and people don't like being owned

Yeah Warne is awesome on that one topic.

Only Smith can start a new day like this. Facing a seam bowler with 500 plus test wickets bowling to a 7-2 field from around the wicket, so he walks across exposing *all three* stumps and works it behind square for two. Consistently.

At the start of a day’s play.

Feast your eyes boys, because it might look ugly at times but I’ve never seen a player like him in 40 years’ watching and playing, and I don’t reckon we will again.
