The same ground where Saim Ayub was taking down Starc for fun. The next gen star Jaiswal got out for a duck.

How is it biased when it's the correct decison and it's missing wickets?

What I meant was, it looked out from naked eye.

Umpires are seeing it from their naked eye. If it was an Indian batsman, they would be raising their finger in a jiffy.

So though the decision ultimately proved to be the right one based on DRS but one can't ignore the biasness of red neck umpires. Remember KL Rahul dismissal last game?

Aussie umpires are a bit biased but that doesn't even you don't give them credit when a correct decision is made.
 
Starc is the difference in these pink ball Tests.

28.4 averaging red ball bowler till 2021 and a 33+ average bowler since then .

But in pink ball Tests, he has taken 72 wickets at less than 18. Completely different beast with this ball.
 
Australia's day, though I don't buy into the complete doom and gloom that Bumrah is carrying the attack on his back.
They have kept a lid on things and haven't allowed them to get away with scoring. That same sustained pressure tomorrow can yield wickets.
 
India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 1: AUS 86/1, Trail IND By 94 Runs At Stumps

Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne stitched a solid partnership for the second wicket that helped Australia recover from an early blow. The hosts were 86/1 at stumps in reply to India’s 180-all out on the opening day of the pink-ball Test in Adelaide. Jasprit Bumrah made an early breakthrough for India as he got rid of Australia opener Usman Khawaja for 13 off 35.

Earlier, Nitish Reddy top-scored with 42 off 54 while Mitchell Starc took a six-wicket haul, his first against India in Tests. He dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Reddy, Ravichandran Ashwin and Harshit Rana to finish with bowling figures of 6/48 from 14.1 overs. Pat Cummins and Scott Boland took two wickets each.

Boland struck soon after the start of second session when he trapped India captain Rohit Sharma LBW on 1. This was after Starc had landed three big blows to leave India wobbling in Adelaide by the time the tea break was taken.

He first got rid of Jaiswal for a golden duck with what was the first ball of the pink-ball Test. A good partnership between KL Rahul and Shubman Gill followed that took India to 69/1 before Starc worked his magic again. He removed Rahul and Virat Kohli in quick succession before Boland trapped Shubman Gill LBW on 31.

Rohit-led India opted to bat first after winning the coin toss. They made three changes to their playing 11 with Rohit, Gill and Ashwin coming into the side in place of Dhruv Jurel, Devdutt Padikkal and Washington Sundar.

Rohit's amazing capability is that when ever he leads the team in sena or in tough situationsin india ,team looks lethargic and complete drunk.Every test is a first match for him
 
Fantastic day by Aus here, Game shold be won from here unless Bumrah happens. 1-1 will set up the rest of the series nicely and I back Aus to win that mini 3 tests series left.
 
Very good play from Australia here, they did what they did to Anderson in 2017, they singled out the best and only threatening bowler, blocked him out and then targetted the rest, Bumrah is a lot more penetrative but I back Australia to get a decent lead here and get a huge advantage when India fumbles in the second inning.
 
Record-breaking attendance for an Australia v India Test at the Adelaide Oval - 50,186
 
Excellent performance from Australia exposed the soft belly now time to spanke the buts , pile on their misery

Australia win is never good for Apposition team's. #Fact

YES after day 1 australia is favourite but still game is not over yet .

We need a inspired bowling spell from Bumrah and we can back in the game at any stage .


:kp
 
Starc is a completely different bowler with the Pink ball. He mostly only attacked the stumps with his swinging deliveries whereas Indian bowlers didn't attack the stumps. Apart from bumrah, the bowling is bang average it's just that Bumrah's early wickets helped others last match.
Had Pant not disturbed or taken the catch of McSweeney off Bumrah's over, Maybe Australia might have succumbed to pressure again, especially Smith. They could have been three more down by stumps.

India is overly dependent on Bumrah. If he doesn't create the magic, others look toothless and mediocre.

They probably need Shami back asap.

India's selection is absurd in the first place, Harshit and NKR are rookies, can't expect much from them.
Siraj is way too hot and cold, Akashdeep is far better than him and should have played before Siraj
 
Cheteshwar Pujara said during a program on a local sports channel:

"I think we could have batted a lot better. It was a pitch where we should have got 250 to 275. So we are 70-80 runs behind. Credit goes to the Aussie bowlers because the way they bowled. They pitched the ball up. Their lengths were much better than our bowlers."

"I do understand that our bowlers did try to hit the same length, which wasn't the ideal length. But if you look at the Aussie bowlers' length, initially they mixed it up when there wasn't help when they started pitching up."

"They went to back of length. They started bowling betweem 6 to 8 meters and that's where we lost a couple of wickets in the middle order. KL Rahul and Virat, both of them got out two back of the length deliveries. And the line was still just over 4th stump, which was an ideal line on this pitch. So I found that I know we could have batted a lot better on this pitch, where we had partnerships, but after one partnership, we kept on losing wickets."
 
As soon as Rohit came back as captain we expected this. Aussie commentators pointed about there is lack of energy from the Indian side. He just went throught the motions.
 
This Mohammad SIraj is a freeloader for India. Atleast Rana is a rookie. Bumrah was also off color. Still created two chances even on his worst day.
 
Batting first was a poor choice. Aus as expected are back with a vengeance. They are playing for their pride.

Rohit struggling where ever he bats. He does not deserve a spot in the team, but he is the captain:LOL:

Hope this is the last series for Rohit. He is 37 and in 4 months, he will be 38. Time to retire and enjoy the money and fame.

As soon as the moment arrives to use his brain,rohit will froze completely and let emotions/fate decide.There is no chat, no discussion with seniors or bowlers / bowling coach/ simply stopping the game and momentum for some time.

It doesn't matter as long as these oldies Rohit and Kohli both play in the middle overs. Getting out to nothing balls.

Nothing to do with pace. It was the prodigious swing. Even at slower pace he would have succumbed as he didn't expect that delivery first up.

Starc said to Rana "I can bowl quicker than you " or something like that as a banter as both played for KKR

Jaiswal just needled him using the same thing. If he were really out to prove something he should have done that in the same test lol Not waiting for pink ball test.
 
India’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate told the media at the post-day press conference:

“I know that the scores look like there is a big gap between the two teams but we still feel we are in the game and with a few tweaks tomorrow (Saturday), we can get back in the game."

“This team doesn’t need the coaches to go into the dressing room and say we need to fight. The guys understand that implicitly and it’s obviously a very proud team who wants to come here and do well."

“We feel slightly behind the game now but there certainly won’t be any letting up and certainly won’t be any surrendering. There certainly is a little bit of swing and a little bit of seam still there. So we’re pretty confident we can still turn it around."

“At Perth, we got bowled out for 150 and still we got back into that game. This is a proud team and the players want to come here and do well. We may be slightly behind in the game now but there certainly won’t be any surrendering."

“I just think it’s the nature of it. If you’re going to bring the pink ball into it, it’s obviously great for the crowds. It’s a little bit different for the players and we try to use the week as best we can to help them to adapt to the small differences."

“I don’t think there are huge differences and I certainly don’t think there’s anything to read into about how the guys performed today."

“Things happen in clumps, we lost wickets in clumps, which we wanted to avoid. I also thought that Mitchell’s (Starc) stock ball was very good and there are lessons to be learnt from that first innings. We will look at how we can play better in the second innings."

“I think we’ll go as hard as we can in the morning but be slightly conscious of what the rest of the day looks like and what we need to do to get back into the game."
 
India is gone in this match... poor 20 minutes before dinner made it almost impossible for them to come back.. lets see

They can probably bat till Day 3 Session 2. Lots of time left.

They should score 500-600 and then declare. India should lose by an innings.

I know the Indian fans riles you up here, but come on India did just beat Australia in the last match as well as winning last two series there.

This is their fortress. Adelaide oval + Pink test. So it was always going to be a challenge especially with two walking wickets and an inept captain.

He is like your second best bowler in Test after Bumrah. Although, he always seemed to have some attitude problem.

Not really. He bowls well in one match and bowls like crap for next 10 match. Biggest freeloader because of his limitations. Akash deep should have been preferred.
 
Australia like Rabbit can't rest so early, they must attain a lead of 100-150 first before cutting loose. But first there is still some deficit to cover first.

Actually, it is the opposite. I rile up Indian fans. They don't rile me up. I grew up with ICQ, Yahoo Chat, 4Chan etc. I have been exposed to far worse. LOL.

Anyway, Aussies should win this series. They may win this Test by an innings. You can check back 4 days later.
 
In the past Shami, Ishant were great backing Bumrah. Declining Siraj and Rookie Rana are not adequate force to counterbalance what Starc/Boland/Cummins have to offer

Australian pacers are also aging

Their form is good. They are in ICC top rankings. That is what matters. India's problem is not age. Siraj is an useless bowler these days. Rana rookie. Just Bumrah is there. Not enough to take 10 wickets every time.
 
Mitchell Starc after the end of Day 1 shared following thoughts on Jaiswal dismissal and Australia's performance:

"At the stumps, hit the pads. That's it. Nothing special. That's been my role for a while: to attack the stumps and try and make early inroads. Pleased to sneak one past today. We know how important it is to make early inroads into this batting lineup. It's always a nice way to start. It is a big Test match, it's a big series,"

"It's a good way to finish the day. A good day all out. But inarguably, the hardest time to bat is that third session with the brand-new pink ball. So, to finish the day one down, particularly from Marn and McSweeney, to fight through sustained pressure from a quality bowling attack and to come out the other end. We have a chance to go on tomorrow, it was fantastic from them. Obviously, a fair bit of outside noise. Very pleased for them,"

Siraj is confidence bowler. On this day he can destroy oppositions. But on other days he can also look incredibly ordinary.
 
Indian bowlers didn't bowl well enough today. There was far too much rubbish down the legside or on the pads. What's the point of building pressure by bowling 3-4 dot balls if you are going to concede a boundary on the penultimate ball and give the batsmen a release? To their credit McSweeney and Labuschagne batted patiently and put the bad balls away with minimum fuss. Australia have a good opportunity to stamp their authority on the match tomorrow.

Bumrah/Shami/Ishant -> Bumrah/indifferent SIraj/Rooki Rana There is sea of difference. WHen you add two past by sell date seniors to this equation it is incredibly difficult to compete without superlative performance from some individual. Last match Bumrah did with the support Rahul and Jaiswal. In this match so far no support for Bumrah who himself looked indifferent. Still created 2 chances. One grassed. Other one taken. Siraj was not even close to taking a wicket after 2 overs. Rana looked the best. But he is too young to know about art of setting up a batsman. Bowling "jaffas" won't get you wickets. There has to be a plan behind it. It could turn out to be an innings defeat for India if Australia times their declaration correctly.

blunder from Rohit Sharma.. they should have opted to bowl first here on this wicket. It was quite obvious that moisture will help the pacers early on.
Click to expand...
Won't matter with this line up. Conventionally batting first is an advantage here as you can dictate terms. But if you have a team that won't bat even for 2 sessions consistently it won't matter. India's only hope was converting it into a one innings affair and have a crack at them. That hopes dashed thanks to poor bowling from India.

Yeah Bumrah is pretty much carrying this pace bowling attack, which has allowed Siraj to fly under the radar somewhat. But it becomes glaringly obvious when Bumrah is not bowling at his best.
