Seriously a ball bouncing like that one to Usman in the 2nd session Day 1 is crazy.

Perhaps the worst pitch ever prepared for a test match

A disgrace, the ICC will flog the BCCI with a wet lettuce.

 

[Redford]

As it presently is performing, this pitch is near-on unplayable.

One moment it’s barely bouncing 4 inches ….the next it’s up around the keeper’s ears.

I'm upgrading here, they all need to launch.

Defending is death on this wicket. Need to spread them out a bit.

Disagree, just play straight and punish the bad ball.

 

[TigerForce]

That looked plum LB.

This DRS is made up *smile*.

 

[Redford]

Luckily, the Indians are bowling a tad too full at the moment. And the ones they aren’t, they’re stuffing the reviews up on.

 

[tigerman]

Time to give Yadav or Siraj a trundle.

A disgrace, the ICC will flog the BCCI with a wet lettuce.

Aren’t the ICC and the BCCI the same thing ?

Aren’t the ICC and the BCCI the same thing ?

Sadly, that is the truth.

I see your Indore and raise you Sabina Park:

Still, another disgraceful pitch produced by the win-at-all costs cowards at the BCCI. If only they had the confidence and maturity to produce good pitches. A sign of insecurity as a nation.

 

[Redford]

“Vi-John. India’s No.1 shaving cream.”

Wouldn’t have thought there’d be much of a demand ?

[Redford]

Sikh

Yeah. Beards.

 

[tigerman]

If only we batted like this in the 2nd innings of the last test. Only needed to score a hundred odd more runs to have been a big chance of winning, and the series would've been 1-1.

 

[Redford]

Bring on Bishan Bedi.

 

[jb03]

Pitch is great, absorbing cricket. Aussies doing well.

 

[Redford]

Good session if not a couple of lucky breaks.

 

[bigwow]

Good start, don't need to throw it away after tea.
That's my fear, the collapse starts after a break.

Has the definition of a no ball changed? I thought it was where your HEEL landed but it seems now it’s if youve got any part of your foot behind the crease when your foot first makes contact with the ground.

Nah that’s always been the rule - you’ve been able to slide your front foot over for example, and some spinners don’t ground the heel of their front foot.

Yeah, it's where the foot first makes contact with the ground, including any part not grounded.

You could sense Champagne was due.
