Australia v India

@KiwiMurph said in Australia v India:
What's the thinking on the decision to bat first in a day/night test?
Good idea or bad idea?
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 ?

Enjoying this. Pujara looks like he's settled in, but the contest with Lyon is intriguing.
Slow run rates can be an issue, but with this indian battling lineup they can blow the game open in a couple of hours. Thoroughly enjoying the radio commentary, too -- their love for cricket shines through.
