not sure why the aussies are batting first,chasing is easier here in Bangalore

I guess they have chased both the games and it’s a decider . Yeah , chasing is easier , but you can bat a team out in Bangalore . India has not chased big totals in a while .

Why don't bowlers bowl Yorkers at beginning of the innings. I remember malinga doing it. Why no one do that? Is it hard ?

Probably harder to control a new ball. Speaking from a completely ametaur college cricket perspective, my college mates who were in the team used to say, if anybody runs in with a just unpacked new red ball, the ball would wobble and move, for anyone, even the guys who could not ball. And it is very,very hard to control that movement. If you try to york the ball may just end up full toss.

With 2 outfielders a predictable length is asking to be smacked.  Plus why wouldn't you want to use the new ball swing to target the edge instead of going with a high risk full length.  

 

An occasional yorker is still handy though.

Australia always beat us at Bangalore, so it wont be much different.

I get the feeling that the bowlers look knackered by their last outing ,Australia will most likely impose a massive total tonight
