SUMO Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It will get easier to bat on this I guess. Bounce and deviation will die down. Only cracks can trouble on 4th 5th day. Worry for India. Link to comment

Inzamam ,who despite foreseeing the fact that Pakistan is going to lose a home series to NZL selected his nephew Imam for opening. Aamer Sohail,Rameez Raja etc etc despite knowing the fact that it is going to damage PAkistan's cricket legacy, proclaims in public that prime minister Kaptaan sahib was a chronic ball tamperor. These are all acts of 'cutting the trunk one himself is sitting' . Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 They shaved the grass off before the match. All the hype was happening before the match. Right before the toss they had the chance to read the pitch. But in all honesty not even Australian cricketers of the past had no clue how it would behave. Everything was a guess work. THey were able to extract something even from Adelaide oval. I believe our bowlers can do the same in this pitch as well (except against the tail may be). Link to comment
Khota Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Not having atleast one spinner was a mistake. Link to comment
putrevus Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Shastri and Kohli have screwe*d up selection number of times, they have no idea how to select a team. This is becoming a big problem , not having a spinner and essentially having a long tail is asking for trouble. Selecting Yadav makes no sense, he has no sense of direction, we already have spray gun in Shami why add a spray gun worse than him. These two mor*ons are costing India big time by their idiotic selections.Aussie press always plays 12th man for their team and it is no surprise they hyped this pitch so much.

Insidious Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The pitch has lived up to the expectation. Not unplayable, but enough for pacers. It is eerily similar to the Capetown pitch. I think we have conceeded too many runs already in the 1st innings just like that Capetown match. I don't think we will able to cross 150, even once on this pitch Link to comment

CommonMan Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 One of the very poor pitch in recent times. Hope the match refree gives low rating for this garbage of wicket. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Nothing to fool. Ashwin won’t have done jack shyt here. So I am glad we picked the bowlers we did even though we could have better seamers than the one in current squd. mancalledsting and Under_Score 2 Link to comment

If the pitch was as much of a green mamba as the hype, aus would have tweaked their lineup. Not picking Jadeja here is criminal - this much was obvious. Banjo, as big a bhuvi fan I am, I was advocating picking Jaddu in a 4 man attack. If Vihari can "bounce out" a batsman, Jaddu would have terrorized these guys. And he wasn't picked for Umesh? I mean seriously? If Yadav doesn't pull his **** together and bowl significantly better the rest of the test, I think he's ruled himself out for future away tests. Its time to turn the page and get the likes of Siraj in. Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 who needs to fool these dumb asses from outside.?? They themselves are capable of making the biggest fool out of them.Who would have thought that spray gun Umesh would have been picked out of no where.? Link to comment

It's not as exaggerated here as it was in Cape town but let's see how the pitch plays in the next couple of days it the cracks widen underneath Link to comment
