So from 1 for a few overnight, we're now fucked.
Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Usman Khawaja, 5.5 ov), 2-65 (Travis Head, 12.6 ov), 3-85 (Steven Smith, 18.6 ov), 4-95 (Marnus Labuschagne, 21.4 ov), 5-95 (Matt Renshaw, 22.6 ov), 6-95 (Peter Handscomb, 23.1 ov), 7-95 (Pat Cummins, 23.2 ov)
Fuck me.

I’m surprised Sportsbet did post their odds on “a sweep” in that tweet…
Clean sweep pays 5:2

Watched the highlights of Aussie 2nd innings. Some shot selection poor but the pitch was a joke. Basically cheating imho.
-
Indians didn't make the Australian batsmen throw their wickets away.

From the bits I saw, it looked like one of those pitches where you had to force yourself to play forward - almost regardless of what the initial read of the length tells you, or any back foot preferences. Easier said than done against Ashwin and Jadeja though.
Looks like future squad selections for Indian tours may need to mirror their likely LH/RH bat combinations to avoid one sided watering... not that we'll ever have that top order selection luxury.

Are you a lefty? Might get a call up

India Australia test 3 kicks off. Arguably the biggest series in world cricket.
Anyhoo, pitch looks a day 3 turner already, Starc had two wickets in the first over if he reviewed them (he didn't; not out) and India rollicking along at 26/0 after 5 overs. It's not boring!
Got an indian mate stopping by later to watch some ... probably India racking upa massive total already. Spin introduced in the 6th over by Australia. A good toss to win.

Great bowling early from Kuhnemann. With that much turn in the first 35 minutes on day one, it will be another fast game.

2 down now - and spot on. Great to watch, hell to play on as a batter or fast bowler.
