That's appalling. Hope next time they visit our " friendly " shores everything plays like the WACA.

Looks like my backyard.

Theres nothing specifically written saying the curator can't offer choice of pitch to a captain, but it's very much looked down upon and seen as incredibly unsportsmanlike and borderline cheating.

There was a massive uproar in the ashes when a pitch was scrapped because the English thought Warne would rip through them on it.

Don't why the POMS bothered turning up against Warney after the " Gatting " ball.

It looks like the Adele concert was staged in the middle of Ranchi last night rather than Adelaide Oval.

Speaking of...........my sister in-law attended said gig in Adelaide and at one stage the rotating stage hit a snag causing a slight delay during the concert. To break the silence apparently Adele said a gag which certainly had my sister in-law in stitches.

"What do you call a blonde lady doing a handstand?" She asked.

"A brunette with bad breath!"

The crowd chortled and the gig resumed, apparently.

That joke is rank! Good on her, she must have been high.

Has gotten to a point where even Indian media are starting to question what's going on.

Smith and Lehmann asked to view the pitch (as is their right) and the ground staff initially refused, and then refused to uncover the pitch in its entirety.

Ground staff were finally made to remove the covers fully.

Serial cheats, professional victim players. You can never win the media PR battle with them. The only way to shut them up is to beat them on the field.

It's hilarious cause Gavaskar is having a crack at Aussie media saying they're "An extension of the Australian cricket team", when the media in his country are by the most self servicing flogs in world sport.

Yeah I hate how The BCCI (sorry ICC) just allow this shit to happen without punishment.

Re: the sledging there is no difference between what the Indians are doing and what the Aussies of the past (and present Warner, Wade particularly) have done. Good on them for standing up, the problem is when they serve up this shit when preparing these ****ing trash pitches. The remaining countries should pull out of the ICC and make their own organisation.

So, who's gonna win the toss/match!?

[TennisPlayerAndy]

'Straya wins the toss. Will bat.

Cummins/Maxwell in.

Starc/MMarsh out.

 

[KiwiRoo]

[DarkPhoenix]

Kholi says the media should drop asking about his comments because "he doesn't want to think about the same thing all the time".

Stop saying stupid shit then.

Kiwis playing SAFFAs today also

[SpiderBurton22]

Aussies went from $3.75 to $2.75 on winning the toss. Got on at $3.25.

Renshaw had started well. He's so good off his pads.

 

[kangaspurs]

For all the talk surrounding it in the build up, the pitch doesn't look too bad early on.

It has some moisture in it. See how it plays once it drys out.

 

[Le Grille]

Getting so sick of Warner, he gets all the plaudits when he scores a hundred (in favourable batting conditions) but when he needs to buckle down in tougher conditions he throws his wicket away. Then people have a go at Renshaw when he gutsed out those innings in his first few tests. Warner seems unable or unwilling to change his style to suit conditions. He needs to be ripped into.

Looks like a nice greentop in NZ, the 2 pitches look like polar opposites.
