This is what espncricinfo said

"Interesting. Interesting. Shane Watson has walked out to open with Ed Cowan. I hear Warner is down with a gastro. Ouch, that's not a good feeling. And here is R Ashwin. A slip, a gully, a short leg"

May want to get a right/left combo to avoid 3 lefties in on the trot?

Ashwin and Jadeja are turning it miles and getting huge lift. Really has highlighted the Aussies glaring mistake with the team selection.

Get Warney back hahaha. Well Lyon is up there with Dizzy Gillespie as one of the only tail enders to make a double century in a test match...oh wait.....

Baffling selection by the Aussies, really. At least it should put an end to Warney blaring about how great the current side are.

Maybe they've picked Starc, Siddle and Lyon as the extra batsman and its a masterstroke?

Let's not forget that England did exactly the same thing in their first test in India this winter...

Which makes it all the more bizarre why they didnt pick 2 or even 3 spinners. I think the lack of experienced heads around Clarke shows with the selection. 4 seamers!! sharma and Kumar have bowled 30 overs out of 190 overs in both Australian innings!!!. It's Deja Vu from the first test v England.

We don't have decent spinners though who bowl with any sort of consistancy.....surely they wont give maxwell a run if they go with dual spinners next game....exciting times haha
