Lock it in...India will be back in the sheds by lunch time tomorrow, very long tail of batting duds....
Cant believe they didnt play Ravindra Jadeja...handy lower order bat , real crafty left arm spinner and one of the premier fielders in the world.....

I think it will be flat tomorrow morning, but up to lunch, and just after, it will be action stations for the Australian bowlers.

How good is Nathan Lyon? A very good player now.

If the Aussies get an early breakthrough, it will be done within the hour.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

The trick might be to use Lyon early, rolling does seem to settle the pitch down in the morning sessions, maybe it's a bit spongy.

Yes, I feel Australia do not even need to attack, if they restrict runs it's the sort of pitch that gets you out eventually. Just keeping the pill on line and not wasting deliveries would be a huge help. I thought our pace trio struggled again yesterday, two or three wickets came from batsmen error playing well away from their body. That's the pitch not the bowling.

The Indian bowlers have showed our lot up, they got the length better, not so many chest high deliveries and more waist / hip high. That took great advantage of the wide pitch variation.

I wonder if India will play such a long tail in Melbourne!

It was interesting hearing Mitchell Johnston talking about Lyon.  He said that Lyon has always been a very good bowler but the difference is that he is now confident of his own ability.

I believe that he has now taken more wickets this calendar year than any other bowler  :o

If Kohli was from any other country, there would be outrage about his behaviour on the field. Because he is from the country that controls world cricket, he is seen as a superhero. His behaviour is every bit as pathetic as Warner's.

Or is it because western journalists will be labeled as racists if they comment!
