    Fancy leaving out the best bowler in the world (statistically and IMO tactically) going into a World Championship game!

    So arrogant ( either that or a tactic to play all their quicks in English conditions ) I hope it bites them in the arse.

    Ashwin is a serious home track bully but he isn’t exactly terrible overseas to be fair.

    Just checked the score

    Aus 327/3

    Head 146*
    Smith 95*

    Cummins said he would've bowled too. Good toss to lose

    Indian professional commentators sound a lot like Indian amateur fans. Complete gibber.

    Not that the likes of Hayden etc are much better I suppose

    Hayden gets asked specific questions but just answers with whatever bullshit just floated into his head

    Ponting is good

    Unfortunately the dodgy highlights package I watched has almost zero Ponting.

    India going in without Ashwin is madness. He injured?

    I'll admit I wasn't expecting him to outscore Smith by quite that much

    it's not just the score, it's how fast he scores that is putting Australia in good positions really quickly

    Really hoping for a draw here! Hopefully deck stays as flat as possible.

    @dogmeat if you're being serious, then in my eyes, they'd both be losers - so we remain the sole WTC winners.

    Shared trophies don't count (IMO!)

    India fell into the hole of picking their team based on winning the first hour, not for a potentially five day game.

    A lot of the social media chatter about the pitch looking almost as green as the outfield earlier this week reminded me of the mistaken hype around Basin Reserve greenness on Day -2.

    @MN5 welcome on board.

    I think rain is unlikely from what I read, so let's hope India go massive in their first dig at bat.
