This was desperately needed. Jaiswal after started playing T20 became more and more impatient A guy who was known for incredibel temperament started picking up bad habits going after balls that are not to be hit.

Yah, it won't be easy for Indian bowlers as well, but India will have a huge lead here.A closer look at how the pitch has changed over the two days showcased the drastic change it underwent in merely a day of chaotic play.
Day 1 proved to be a pacer’s dream, with plenty of grass offering bounce and movement for the bowlers to have their hearts’s fill, while the pitch on Day 2 started showing signs of deterioration, seemingly favouring out the batters more.
As per commies, normally cracks will appear on 4th day onwards as in the case of last test match against pak .so india have to bat till late tea tomorrow to eat out any batting advantage of Aussies.
That would mean Aus pacers would have bowled 6 sessions with small break. Thankfully, there is a big gap between tests.

In nz Sachin has failed plenty of times.
Pitch is going to be deterious fast from day 3 .it won't be so easy for batters also, we will see more uneven bounce from tomorrow
This means there is moisture under the surface and hence the grass looks green and fresh... This is required to make sure that the pitch plays well for all 4 innings / all 5 days... If they start with like on the right (brown without any grass), then chances of pitch breaking up on 3rd / 4th day itself with some cracks & footmarks will be more... This makes batting too tough (and even more dangerous than green pitch - with uneven bounce & ball shooting up from cracks)...A closer look at how the pitch has changed over the two days showcased the drastic change it underwent in merely a day of chaotic play.

I am not comparing. I am saying it's normal to fail. Young players will fail often in tough conditions.
‘Unacceptable’: Aussies slammed for body language in field as McDonald defends missing bowling coach

‘Unacceptable’: Aussies slammed for body language in field as McDonald defends missing bowling coach
Perth: Australia’s vaunted bowling cartel received a rude shock and harsh reality check on a contrasting day of cricket at Perth Stadium that belonged to rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal as the home side was accused of “unacceptable” body language in the field.
Australian head coach Andrew McDonald was forced to defend the team’s decision to let bowling coach Daniel Vettori miss the opening Test of the summer and travel to Saudi Arabia for the Indian Premier League auction after a sobering and wicketless stint in the field.
Indian openers Jaiswal and KL Rahul nullified Australia’s fired-up bowlers and helped build an important and morale-boosting lead on day two of the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth.
After a chaotic opening day where 17 wickets fell in just 76.4 overs of play, Australia lost three wickets in the two hours before lunch to be all out for 104, still 46 runs shy of India’s modest total of 150.
In need of quick wickets, Australia were flat and inaccurate with the ball as Jaiswal (90) and Rahul (62) rammed home their side’s advantage by reaching stumps at 0-172 with a 218-run lead.
Frontline bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitch Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon all went wicketless across 57 draining overs in the field, which prompted former Test opener Greg Blewett to slam the team’s body language while in commentary for Seven.
“Well, I have been critical of it for a while,” Blewett said. “That hour leading into tea I just thought they looked like they were going through the motions. It’s unacceptable really. It’s day two of an important series [between] Australia and India.”
Asked whether he thought Blewett had a point, McDonald replied: “Didn’t notice the body language at all.”
Former Australian bowler Damien Fleming said on SEN the home side were finding themselves on the end of an “absolute thrashing”.
The Australian coach was also asked about the absence of Vettori, who is overseas about to take part in the IPL auction as head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad, and whether his presence would have made a difference.
CA’s national development coach Lachlan Stevens is in Perth as extra support for the team.
“He [Vettori] is still connected with us. A lot of pre-planning, prep work gone in. The answer is no [it didn’t make a difference], he’s got some commitments elsewhere,” McDonald said.
“I think the wicket’s changed considerably. The seam and swing was down compared to yesterday. I thought KL and Jaiswal played extremely well.
“The morale is always good. It’s a pretty level team. We’ve got some problems to solve. There’s no doubt we’re clearly well behind the game at this stage. India are in the driver’s seat.”
Jaiswal and Rahul showed excellent application, having come off respective scores of zero and 26 in the first innings.
Jaiswal, who has shown great promise in his short career, grew with confidence every over as Australia’s quicks failed to make inroads with the new ball. So too did part-timer Marnus Labuschagne, who resorted to sending down bouncers at speeds of up to 135km/h.
Had Australia’s top order given a better account of themselves on Friday night, the home side could have taken a first-innings advantage but will now be chasing a game that slowed down significantly once players adjusted to the bouncy Perth surface.
It was only the sixth time an Indian opening batting pair has produced a triple-figure partnership against Australia in Australia. The record stands at 191 from Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth in 1986.
In terms of all touring teams, not since Andrew Strauss and Alistair Cook in 2010 at the Gabba (188 runs) has an opening pair contributed more for the first wicket.
Earlier, India captain Jasprit Bumrah took the prized wicket of Alex Carey with his first ball of the day, but a rearguard 10th-wicket partnership between Starc and Hazlewood frustrated the tourists’ attempts to clean up Australia’s tail.
Australia avoided further humiliation by going past their lowest total against India (83 in 1981) and bringing up triple figures, to the relief of the local crowd hoping this match continues until at least the end of the weekend.
In home Tests, Australia have been bowled out for fewer than 104 runs on just 11 occasions. The last time that happened was in 2016, when Australia were skittled for 85 in Hobart.
Bumrah, who took four wickets on Friday during a scintillating pace-bowling performance, struck immediately by removing Carey for 21, caught behind by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant.
It was a delivery at which Carey did not need to play, but his score was nearly double that of Australia’s next best in Travis Head (11). The tentative shot indicated that Carey was more worried about the bowler and not playing it on its merits.
The dismissal brought up Bumrah’s second five-wicket haul or better against Australia, having taken 6-33 in the 2018 Boxing Day Test.
What has a league auction got to do with a Test match?
Aussies to win by an innings but not sure about The Apposition except india
Aussies to win by an innings but not sure about The Apposition except india
Winning the four successive series against australia at home or away is not an anomaly but winning a one off game is called anomaly.
Washi is in better form. Jadeja could have been played though
You need a ball that goes other way. Only Ashwin is capable of bowling that ball. Neither Sundar nor Jadeja can bowl doosra type deliveries. At best they can straighten it.
samajhdaar ho
Jadeja would have been cannon fodder on this pitch.
On this pitch spinners get zero purchase until now. Everyone is hoping pitch will have cracks later on day 3.

STARC TO RANA: "I bowl faster than you."
JAISWAL to STARC: "It's Coming too slow"
Check cricinfo first comment
Fully agree with that comment. We are hopeless with bat in hand when it comes to drive home the advantage.
Sun is beating down means Cracks will open faster as game progress
The stage is perfectly set for Kohli to score some good runs and contribute to the lead.
Yes.
The stage was set for him so many times over last few years but he hardly looked to cash those chances.
Hopefully he plays better now.
Playing and running like a deer caught in headlights
What in the reverse jinx is this. You know very well India are likely crossing 400 here.
