93/2 and now drifted to 4.2.  They do have a v.long tail but surprised at this price, not a bad start.  India at 2.1 look a lay too, or back aus at 3.3.

I know Pragyan Ojha has one of the most punchable, whiny faces in world cricket, but I'm still astonished to see him omitted here on this pitch.

It leaves India effectively playing with 9 men.

Aus look a fair price to me right now at 11/4 with the game moving on and India batting last.

Hi, Conch. With the dust and irregular bounce, I should think Lyon would be a threat here in the 4th innings. He ain't Swann or Panesar, but he's accurate enough. That may be enough here.

I Sharma and Bh Kumar were no threat at all, but I reckon the extra effort and better lines of Siddle and co. might get a reward from the occasional ball keeping low.

Reverse swing here very good for aus

i know its early doors but this could be at least a match saving partnership.

A riveting day of test match cricket

how come theres no daft money on india against a supposedly weaker team than england.

Awesome knock, lol India at not having DRS, he would've been on 39!

Hard pitch to read..... its very slow and I suspect its going to come down to if the Oz seamers can get swing or dodgy bounce.

Reminds of the draw pitch in the recent 4th test v England that did not play as badly as many thought
....
Personally I think Lyon will not be a factor as his flat darts on this slow turner should not be to hard for the Indians at least in 1st innings

First and probably only trade has been a back of the draw at $4
to sell at $2.80..... Apart from the opener you know India will go the slow grind in the 1st dig.

Stupid

Cracking game of NRL. 2-0 after 45.

He's looked solid enough and pitch not really doing anything. Aus in need of a spinner I think.

Australia have got the wrong attack for this pitch

Probably not going to have the correct attack for the series either. Lyon doesn't look up to it

Pitch looks dead for the quicks but doing plenty for spin.  India obviously have better spinners, ashwin looked difficult enough in the first innings and its doing more now. Expect the draw to go low though a few overs into the third innings

ime on the draw hope india slow it down a bit and the aussies have their batting boots on.

Surprised thedraw is still 3s. Ive just backed out of my draw lay at a similar price.  Might wait a bit and then lay again. Wouldnt touch india at these prices, way too short.

448/8. Draw at 3.0 still which surprises me.

Interesting game. Starting to look like Australia are going to have to bat for 3.5/4 sessions depending how fast they score. Don't really fancy the Indian attack to bowl them out, but then look at Aus batting and there's only really Clarke of any class. Think it all depends on how Ashwin and Harby (and part time spinners) bowl.

Given how the pitch looks, Aus starting to look a bit tired in the field and the number of left handers in the Aus top order, I'm leaning to India getting over the line.

As usual when test match looks like going the distance expect odds to fluctuate. May top up my draw lay if price goes much lower.

Forget to say, whatever else happens, this has been a maginificent innings from Dhoni.
