Aussie wins the toss and bats first
Consensus seems to be that the pitch is drier than normal. Already has a crack in it
Australia
1 David Warner, 2 Marcus Harris, 3 Marnus Labuschagne, 4 Steven Smith, 5 Matthew Wade, 6 Cameron Green, 7 Tim Paine (capt & wk), 8 Pat Cummins, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Nathan Lyon, 11 Josh HazlewoodIndia
1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Cheteshwar Pujara, 4 Ajinkya Rahane (capt), 5 Mayank Agarwal, 6 Rishabh Pant (wk), 7 Washington Sundar, 8 Shardul Thakur, 9 Navdeep Saini, 10 Mohammed Siraj, 11 T NatarajanThat Australian batting line up is a strange mix of absolutely outstanding, extremely journeymanish and inexperienced.
They'll back themselves against the Indian 'attack' for this test.

India really needed to win that toss and put some runs on the board.

Good start getting Warner but they're going to have to roll Aus for under 200 if they want to be in this game.

Warner going early always brings a smile to my face.

Same here but it's catch 22 for me as I do like watching him bat.

@MN5 he's nowhere near fully fit. If Pucovski was fit he might well have missed this game.

Indeed so why is he playing then ?

as a kiwi cricket fan you should know this better than most. Guys get rushed back when the pool of other options is paddling depth

Historically yes but we have loads of guys banging on the door of the test team at the moment ( apparently )

@Hooroo said in Australia v India:
Did I just hear that right? India have used 20 players in this test series?
Not sure if correct but looks like they are debuting 3 players in this game and another two debuted in the last two games. So 20 players definitely seems about right.

I'm the same as they are the under-dog in this with all their players out
