Meanwhile over in India..
Far out that is an incredible looking pitch. Might suit India's bowlers but I think O'Keefe won't mind the look of it either, will suit his style of spin well if it turns and keeps low, and India's batsmen have definitely shown weakness against spin in recent times (T20 WC against us, O'Keefe ripping them a new one etc).
Looking forward to it!

holy shit Michael Clarke, are you on a one man mission to make sure no one in Australia ever warms to you? jesus
when selling books in India, tell them what they want to hear

@mariner4life How much was he hazed when he joined the Australian cricket team that this is what he's turned into?
-
@antipodean i don't know, but it must have been bad. He's fucking have a go at everyone he ever played with. A real leader you could get behind aye?

As for the shoulder charge below, the batsman and the fielder got suspended until 1 Jan next year, but the fucking bowler who kicked it off, and took it like a complete bitch, got off with a suspended sentence #nojustice

What is it with Australia touning that makes the Indians turn the piston wristed gibbon up to 11? Kohli is coming across like a complete fluffybunny, something i haven't really seen before. Arrogant and competitive? yes. But this is just antagonistic now. He's in for a rough tour next time they go to Aus (even though he'll score fuckloads on some nice Aussie roads).

Think he's on the lash after the first Test humping. Though he was quite graceful in defeat.
Now he's got his cock up after the crowd aggression and decided he'll ride that pony hard.

That pitch looks atrocious, but I reckon that plays right into our hands. If they want to make it a complete lottery, they are only hurting themselves.
Though weirdly the one thing we might really miss is Mitch Starc's batting. Those quickfire 20-30s have been invaluable.

50 inside 10 overs that has some variable stuff in it already. Not bad
-
The second session was good viewing - Aussie moving along nicely after those earlier wickets. Maxwell was accelerating nicely too.
Fuck me, How many of this Indian squad give a shit about fielding? some right barry crockers going down. They have some sharp guys but sometimes they couldn't look less interested!

Fielding isn't thrashwanked over by Indian fans. Batting is. And they'll have to be pretty fucking special with their batting later in this Test.
Interesting fact: Mitch Marsh has a better batting average this series than Kohli.
Which means the fucking Indian skipper is due. And the pitch wasn't coated in mines either by the sounds, so we'll see how it breaks up.
