Amazing to read in yesterdays Advertiser, Ben Horne castigating the Indians for "sledging" the mighty aussies. Over the top, says Horne. How dare the Indians do such a thing. As if the aussies would do that to an opposition side. In Boofheads words,
" Never, ever, ever." Hypocrisy in its purest form.

The Indian media were criticising Kohli as well, saying that if he cannot prove Smith of cheating, then he should get a longer ban...

Hey Mega, I do weigh over 100 kgs, so still think you could handle the trip?

Even Smith admitted it was wrong. Still a mountain out of a molehill (by Kohli anyway) given nothing would have ever come of it

No, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it. :wink:

Indians panicking, so prepping an even dustier bowl again. Hope we win the toss, or will Kohli's coin be a "special" one?

Aussies will lose this test, Indians with the momentum...
The Aussies batting (other than Smith) has been terrible

The whingeing has already started online that the Indians haven't produced a pitch to Australia's liking :lol:

I'm not whingeing, after all its to be expected that India will make pitches to suit themselves best they can. That said, I've seen better decks in the streets of Coober Pedy.

Talk about karma - one captain injured after forgetting to bring his own coin, the other 100+ not out. :)

How is that karma, surely the cheat would have been injured with karma.

Great comeback by Smith.

Pretty impressive stats so far.

Will this stop the whingeing about the pitch now?

Smith has to be up there with the best batsmen in the world right now.

1. Root
2. Kohli
3. Smith

Not bad for a bloke who was only good enough to play for Sevenoaks Vine Reserves.

Aussies look in trouble, as predicted.
The Indians should wrap the game up on last day, not needing to bat again.

I thought this pitch was a minefield and had been "doctored"?
