That has been clarified, it's some sort of pain relief cream.

Renshaw is left-handed

Shit I completely forgot, probably because I'm used to watching him for the Heat who have more lefties than righties.
Weird then. Still think the omission should have been Warner

The difference is clearly the bowling. Smith and Labuschagne looked pretty impregnable (judging from Cricinfo), until Jadeja got them.

Jadeja being a top-10 all time Test spinner does definitely help, let alone having another one in the same team

Thanks for restating what was written in the article that I kindly quoted.

No the issue is far from resolved. What proof is there that it was indeed pain ointment/cream? Any experts investigated whether or not this substance may have affected the ball? I

If you can show this then I’ll say the issue has been resolved.

R Ashwin better batsman than KLR?

Jadeja said he was practicing 10-12 hrs a day post injury in the NCA.

Sums up why he looked more prepared than anyone else in the series.

Looks like a goner

Todd murphy is good.
Stupid KLR is the worst of 'em all...

Now couple more to follow

Is it pujara playing? Look at that intent....

From Alex Malcolm in Nagpur: "Australian batter Matthew Renshaw has been sent for a precautionary scan on his right knee on the second morning in Nagpur. Renshaw experienced some right knee soreness prior to the warm-up on the second day but did the warm-up in full. However, he did not take the field when play began with Ashton Agar replacing him as the substitute. Renshaw iced his knee in the rooms before heading for a scan midway through the first session."

From Cricinfo

Cummins and Lyon will have to do most of the work themselves.
Renshaw over Head seems baffling.

Interestingly is all boland and murphy at the moment... May be later when Reverse swing comes into play. Completely agree on the Head inclusion...

Murphy has 3 already. The success to winning in India is to introduce a new spinner every game. Pity, I didn't have him as a starter in my Fantasy XI.

Indians are the worst players of spin...gone are the good ol days of Azhar and Co where spinners were taken to the cleaners every game.

Murphy's debut is looking like Abrar.
