As far as I’m aware there have been 2 controversial decisions, one of which went to England

 

[ams4crows]

Haha Leach showing every one how to play spin

 

[PhatBoy]

Pathetic shot from Archer. He just gave up. Absolutely pea heart. One of the biggest overrated hacks in world cricket. Go back home to the West Indies and enjoy life. Pathetic.

Mate he’s a bowler. How about the 7 blokes above him show anything resembling some heart with the bat

 

[corbies]

If it does finish today it'll be the first time in 100 years a test match with 4 innings has finished inside 2 days.

 

[swanssince2002]

In hindsight, maybe they shouldve just reversed the batting lineup. Tailenders open... I mean there is nothing to lose. Maybe you will get lucky against spin at 100% attack mode and hit 5-6 boundaries before getting out.

 

[PhatBoy]

When it does finish today it'll be the first time in 100 years a test match with 4 innings has finished inside 2 days.

Fixed it for you

somehow this pitch won’t be rated as poor lol

Leach to replicate his efforts v Ireland with the bat.

 

[danielnajdek]

Of course it wont. ICC aren't gonna give a Indian pitch a bad rating.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Looks like Ashwin is swinging the ball.

 

[Belnakor]

Anyone defending Indian pitches should hang their head in shame. There is home condition pitches then this absolute rank bunsen.

 

[estibador]

Wouldn't want to be batting last on this pitch once it starts to turn, England might have enough already...

 

[ams4crows]

43 runs?
I don't think so, maybe 90 runs

 

[CakeEater]

Jack Leach bowls left arm no turn so thats unlikely.

 

[Browney2006]

Even if England got this up to an 80-90 run target they don’t have the spinners to skittle a team as easily as the indians would.

 

[swanssince2002]

Yeah this is a super bunsen for sure. One ball seems to have little to no spin, the other ball spins a lot. Very hard for the batsmen to figure it out...

 

[Nuggetz]

Mate he’s a bowler. How about the 7 blokes above him show anything resembling some heart with the bat

He has enough ability with the bat to show better application than a wild swipe off the 3rd ball hes faced.

 

[Browney2006]

Did Harsha just say Ashwin has 400 wickets from 77 overs? Some effort that

 

[eltrain]

Even if England got this up to an 80-90 run target they don’t have the spinners to skittle a team as easily as the indians would.

I’d back Root to roll a few.

 

[Nuggetz]

Before the AUSvIND series began:
Nathan Lyon: 390 Test wickets
Ashwin: 365 Test wickets

LOL

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Batshit crazy.

Cannot beat test cricket.

This is a terrible spectacle of test cricket. An absolutely atrocious pitch mixed with some rank batting.

 

[PhatBoy]

Anyone defending Indian pitches should hang their head in shame. There is home condition pitches then this absolute rank bunsen.

That has somehow yielded 3 wickets from balls turning more than you’d see on 90 per cent of pitches.

Has one player aside from leach actually used his feet?

How the f*** can you blame a pitch for blokes who can’t sweep, trying to sweep balls off middle stump? Sibley waiting a whole five overs to try and inexplicably launch a ball into orbit that was about two feet short of landing where he needed it to in order to play the shot?

 

[PhatBoy]

He has enough ability with the bat to show better application than a wild swipe off the 3rd ball hes faced.

So does Dom Sibley but it didn’t stop him playing an equally abysmal shot

Some of the batting has been poor but a pitch shouldn't be favouring spinners to this extent, when a part time spinner like Root is taking 5/8 and a match is finishing inside 2 days it should be ringing alarm bells.
