Apart from the early wicket India were looking good in the first session. It's all gone a little pear-shaped now.
India do seem to have a better balance this test, picked a 6th batsman.

I think 380 is par for this pitch.
I hope the Australian selection philosophy of not unsettling a winning combo doesn't bite them on the ass. Starc is the real number 6 in this line-up which speaks volumes.

Andrew Symonds had an extended run in the Test team before he came good and ended up with a respectable Test average.
SWarsh, on the other hand, is the cricketing equivalent of the Walking Dead.

Renshaw is an exactly clone of Matthew Hayden
I don't mind stodgy batsmen in Test Cricket.
when he was batting to save his career in the 2005 Ashes

It's always amusing when grown men make faces that are usually made between 5 years olds.

One of the gutsiest innings by an Australian I've seen by Renshaw

Behold real cricket. Not the fast food rubbish the Australian public was eating up over the summer.

An 100 run lead all but guarantees victory. There's no way the Indian batsmen have the mental fortitude to grind it out like Renshaw and Marsh did on this pitch. This pitch is worse than the one in Pune and is rapidly deteriorating.

To anybody watching -- has the pitch deteriorated or is it the same as yesterday?

All I have is cricinfo at work.
Lyon's grouping is amazing.
I'm listening on the ABC Radio smartphone app. I forgot to bring my Foxtel GO login details to work.

Yeah, that was a pretty irresponsible shot by Starc at a time when everything was going against India.

The lead is the Australian cricket team's cursed number.

It's all going to come down to the next session.

Australia will win tomorrow unless miracle happens.
Nah, I actually think India are favourites now. Anything over 200 will be incredibly difficult to chase. This is why we shouldn't have gone into the Test with only 10 players.

I've said it before and I'll say it again the "Keep a winning combination" selection strategy is fundamentally flawed. Wade and MWarsh should not be in the team, irrespective of whether Australia wins, losses or draws.
Seriously amazing.

Well he's not far from the record. MMarsh may actually finish his test career, hopefully soon, with something to be "proud" of!
Collapse is on, wouldn't like to be chasing 200+ on this pitch.
Edit: It's really on now, 4 wickets in 2 overs with the new ball.
