So let me get this right, the BCCI gets caught out fiddling the pitches in the lead up to the first three tests, and despite being caught on video with the shovels and rollers, the BCCI solution is to fiddle three pitches to keep the opposition guessing!
So they are embarrassed at all by being caught out, so rather than amend their ways they go to a whole new level and fiddle three pitches, they've made a Matryoshka of pitches so only the BCCI know which one will be used in the lead-up to the test and as such only India can properly prepare. It's a bit like a grifter adding further layers of complexity when the victims have worked out they have been conned!
They may as well prepare the whole venue play surface and just paint the lines wherever it suits on the day the teams are announced, why even bother with north south! ;D
Is this ultimately why Trump and Putin are bad for the planet, people and countries no longer care, integrity doesn't matter?
I suppose next time India tour we can supply Lunch and Tea, three free choices, Eye Fillet, Beef Bolognese and Steak Tartare! Perhaps for the Brisbane test we have a northern primary producer ritually slaughter a cow on the pitch as part of the opening smoking ceremony, Apocalypse Cow! It makes me wonder, do we use blood and bone on Australian playing fields?

I can't be bothered anymore LP, just another example of a crooked, morally bankrupt outfit with far too much power and influence. Welcome to modern civilization.

I wouldn't be over excited about day one....we did ok but this is the kind of pitch we do badly on because we don't bat long enough. We need to post a minimum of 400 before the pitch deteriorates - if it will.

The Gabba was given a below average rating for the Test against South Africa and received on demerit point as a result. Another four demerit points over the next four years would see the Gabba banned as a Test venue for 12 months.
What ratings have the Indian pitches been given and how many demerit points have they racked up?

There's not a lot of runs among those still to bat. Ussy and Green need to make big scores.

Indians are in practice mode for the test championship, this wicket might hold up a bit better than the rubbish they produced for the other tests.

That drop by the keeper, fair dinkum at test level you have got to be joking, it's like Riewoldt's goal fail!

This wicket has a bit more pace and the ball jumped a bit but it should been taken, of course the regular Indian keeper and well known Aussie nemesis Rishabh Pant hasnt played this series after his car accident where he was speeding in his Merc and managed to hit a road divider with such impact the car burst into flames and he nearly didnt make it out.
Of course Pant has a history of speeding fines all unpaid but such is the Indian Police system they claimed he wasnt drunk or speeding on this occasion and did not exceed 80km, reckon it might have helped he is a cricketer with a rockstar profile and not driving a three wheel tuk tuk for a living?
Wonder what the three point swastika carmaker think of their expensive SUV ending up being BBQed beyond recognition in such a supposed low speed impact crash.....

Excellent effort from Ussy and Green. Hopefully Green will bowl with confidence after his ton.
