Has been an excellent series to watch so far.  Cricket in Australia can be a difficult watch at times.  Flat pitches and the Kookaburra ball don't give an adequate balance between bat and ball in my view.  The two pitches so far have been very good though.  Has made for some very enjoyable cricket

Best flat track bully of them all has seemingly lost his brain as well

Pant is by far one of the worst gloveman I’ve seen in international cricket

That's two pretty bad drops now, right?

Aus best chance was preparing a flat one and giving their batsman a chance. Exactly what they’ve done.

Seems pretty slow/flat wicket. Remains to be seen if it will start to offer anything for the bowlers in next few days

There should be little more for the bowlers at least in 1st session, otherwise, it becomes really boring.
We have ODIs and T20s to make bowlers' life miserable.

I spoke too soon about the quality of the pitches.  This one is a dire surface for test match cricket.

I would support away teams automatically getting the toss in test cricket.  It would encourage home nations to prepare better balanced pitches and improve the game as a result

Yes this test pretty much was all about who won the toss really which is a shame and your idea would certainly help.

Havnt seen any TV but a shortened days play so the pitch may be flat but Sydney normally spins at the back end.

I'd be surprised if the character of the wicket could be totally changed myself.

What would the Aussies be scared of preparing a pitch that dulls India's pace attack?

Times have certainly changed  :)

Aussies are wary of the pace attack which hasn't played more than 20 tests.  :D

That’s some collapse from aus from being 200-2 to 338ao on a road. Don’t think anyone was expecting that - just shows how brittle this aus line up is and again the importance of jadeja

Doesn’t really seem like a road.

Yes some poor shot selection and gifting of wickets helped. Should really have scored 400+.
