Indian don't learn, a pitch like that gives the aussies a chance - definitely need to win the toss on that!

It will be fine... They are giving Kohli a choice of 3

What did you guys see in that pitch that I may have missed ? Seems like typical subcontinent pitch .

Lets not pretend that its anything other than complete garbage.

Is the dark patch in the middle where they have watered it, the end has dried but not the middle(so far)

is that correct?

Think that's the centre of the earth.

No idea who's going to win. But I'd have a fiver on the match not seeing 600 runs!

thing is......depending on how you look at test cricket.......the Aussies have competed out in India, apart from the first test(which we could of won), England didn't.

if this is a result pitch and goes like the others have( I saw a lot of the second test, some of the bounce was borderline acceptable in my opinion)

would you want a result wicket to give the best chance of winning? that's the question really...

It could make it a lottery, but would you gamble to win.....win the toss, put some runs on the board and hope the pitch goes up and down like the last one...


tricky.....

Apparently a winning score in ODIs there is 250 odd.

I'll wait and see how the match winds up, but I put money on it not going 3 days

Ranchi is a low scoring location for ODI. Ball tends to keep low and spinners do come into effect. I would say this is an expected behavior. Batting friendly tracks are generally - Delhi, Chennai, Bombay and Kolkata.

Maxwell selected for this one. Good toss to win for the aussies.

Warner continues to fail on the subcontinent?? Surprised more isn't made of that.

Smith on course for another 100 - they'd be hoping for 320 from here

[ppccopener]

good toss to win, the Aussies are doing pretty well so far.

if as predicted the pitch 'goes' first innings runs could be priceless.

there's a few Aussies never mastered sub continent conditions even thou they are high quality players.

Ponting being the best example

personally ive been impressed with Renshaw....he's the English guy right?
