The more I see off that track, the more I'll get annoyed about BK not playing.

So the wicket doesnt look as dangerous as it was being hyped up .. That delivery from Shami at good length even kept low!! We are going to miss Jadeja big time , dont think Vihari can provide even half the workload of Ashwin's from the first game... I hope our pacers dont pick up injuries by the end of this game

This is a poor track. No excuse for having an up and down track on Day 1.. Not too much pace either. Batsman can play through the line.

On to India, bowlers bowling both sides of the wicket and Kohli has a deep backward point, deep square leg and fine leg without even 100 on the board. 500 on the cards boys!

I keep feeling that all this green top and bouncy wicket hype for the second test might end up fizzling out - just a feeling at the back of my head

Too early in the game and we cant call it until both teams have batter. But if the wicket continues to behave like this, this will the first time EVER that my gut feeling has actually worked [DOUBLEPOST=1544764865][/DOUBLEPOST]Harris looks set for a big one here. Our bowlers look listless

Once the scoreboard says 500, it takes the track out of the equation. Scoreboard takes a lot of the wickets and the Indian batters aren't renowned for their temperament. If any of you understand the logic of the deep backward point, please explain it to me.[DOUBLEPOST=1544765253][/DOUBLEPOST]Kohli is almost asking his bowlers to bowl both sides of the wicket.

260/2 @ Stumps on Day 1 is my prediction.

260/2 @ Stumps on Day 1 is my prediction.

I would say this is an underestimation

320/2 more like it, especially going by the welcome received by Vihari[DOUBLEPOST=1544766249][/DOUBLEPOST]Kohli should stop giving press conference and sound bytes. Whatever he claims/says, the opposite happens the next day

Before the first Test - we need to be more responsible and not play rashly. Next morning we are reeling at 41/4
Before the second Test - grateful to captain a pace attack at its peak. Next morning the opposition is 112/0

Autocorrect?.....

Hahahaha, it's Google keyboard on mobile messing it up for some time now and I was really pissed with India's bowling that I didn't even look at the text..That was hilarious..

Kohli's match sense is atrocious. If there are 2 bowlers who are most likely to relent control it's Shami and Umesh. The latter in particular tends to go some when he's looking for wickets. Okay, I don't mind them being in tandom but then give them fields for it!

Bumrah getting the breakthrough again

bumrahfan must be proud

Ishant looks stiff as hell.[DOUBLEPOST=1544767266][/DOUBLEPOST]Kohli being overskirt and helping Khawaja get off 0. "Goti" is in place?

Bumrah bowling 90mph brutes!

Lol Hanuma Vihari of all people. Thats a crucial breakthrough Harris was well set and a century was there for the taking.

Lol Hanuma Vihari of all people. Thats a crucial breakthrough Harris was well set and a century was there for the taking.

I am really really happy that he made it into the team.. Someone I want to see for the long haul in tests..Even in ODIs for stability which he provides.. Might be low on strike rate but certainly can improve...

Harris’ dismissal was simply unplayable. India needs to bundle the Australians for 250 and then try make 400. Lead of less than 100 and it’s over. Both will be very very tall orders.

This is not an international level pitch.
