What's the thinking on the decision to bat first in a day/night test?
Good idea or bad idea?

Good idea. These games tend to come down to timing - you need to avoid batting at dusk if at all possible. You can't turn down a chance to bat in the day.

I should imagine players are used to playing at night these days. Question I'd have is whether the ball favours daylight or not.

@antipodean evidence to date suggests the pink ball at night is more difficult to play

Ponting is a bloody good commentator. He's actually pretty funny. Doesn't mind having a laugh at himself. And by fuck he's sharp in his analysis from a team and plan point of view. I have really turned around my opinion of him.
I'll take him and Isa Guha any day of the week

Cummins 3.4 overs, 1 run.
These guys are patient.
EDIT: Pujara is solid but some of these Cummins deliveries are moving just a touch and bring inside edges

first test starts this arvo. Day/Night test should be fun.
Australia, for the top side in the world, have some serious issues. At this stage their opening bats look like being a converted keeper who averages 30, and a guy who dead set cannot buy a run.
They will be followed in by the guys expected to score the bulk of the runs (with some justification i might add, their records are ridiculous). The middle order is new or not great.
They are a team built on 4 fucking good bowlers, Smith, Loose Bus Change, and Warner (as long as the game is in Australia).
Right now, if an honest Trans Ta$man XI was put together, we are contributing a decent number of players.

So 7 out of 11 ?
In other words pretty much any great cricket side ever ?
