Some are saying it is like a concrete pitch. What else would we expect.
Win the toss, bat first, draw or win test.
Lets all hope Ponting calls correct and bats. Put a bit of pressure on India with some great batting. Can we get 20 wickets. Probably not. But I will cheer it on.
Hayden OVER 43.5 @ $1.85 (5)
Hussey OVER 45.5 @ $1.85 (5)
Sehwag OVER 42.5 @ $1.85 (5)
Alot depends on the toss. Ponting is due for a good toss.

New stadium. New pitch.

Super picks last time around, did you sweep the board? Brilliant stuff.
I like all of them, in particular the Sehwag one. Might be on a high after taking 5 wickets last test, and may feel he needs to go on and contribute with what he is known for.
Will wait and see...
Hey mate,

I hope the runs he conceded aren't held against him. He was brought in to take wickets, not to bowl tight. In the second test, India scored more first innings runs than they did here, and then declared 3 down in their 2nd dig.
In the 3rd test they scored over 600 in their 1st innings, declared 5 down in the second.
This kid got brought over as the 1st choice spinner, got treated with absolute contempt by the fringe Indians in a lead up game and then suffered the indignity of having Watson and White picked together above him.
He finally makes his test debut because nothing else has worked, and he takes 8 on debut. I have scratched my head at the selections and tactics of the Australians all tour, but I at least give Ponting credit for bowling him for 40-odd overs in the 1st innings.
Well done Krejza
