A high scoring ground 1st innings.
Probably the ground that will best suit India, and they might spring a surprise here. Although their woeful away Test record would indicate otherwise.
No team News for Aus, but ? mark over Clarke's fitness.
I'll likely go into this with a red on Aus.

dstyle what you think about the aus 2nd innings declaration, you know your cricket
India have a live chance here imo. Think it's either an India win or an Aus win - don't fancy the draw at all despite the odds. Pujara and Vijay are the only real 'stayers' in the India lineup. Kohli, Rahane, Rohit, and Saha - all will score relatively quickly if they do score.
india only pick up 12 wickets in 200 overs they bowled they never deserve a easy 3.5 run rate 4th innings chase, i think aussies should have put on another 50 runs in morning session and set 410 in 92 overs
Clarke's an aggressive captain though - has worked for him in the past, and may well do today. Doubt he expected the Aus attack to look as toothless as it has though. Considering that we are seeing turn, and also reverse, you'd expect them to be in a better position. Long way to go mind you.
they are toothles, siddle is finished and harris at end of career
the pitch is flat for fast medium bowlers anyway, lyon got abit of spin from rough thats about it you cant be setting targets cause of the bowler foot marks
seemed fine to me.
370 runs in a day, even an extended day, is a LOT of runs particularly when the moment a side finds itself in danger they tend to shut up shop, as well as a fielding captain being able to be negative in their fields and bowling if he starts getting concerned.
95 overs also gives them a decent crack with the second new ball
agree that india could well start to threaten now - it's actually a much more positive way to avoid losing as well.good batting from these two and about 50 quick runs away from forcing out some close fielders.

Quite rate Harris myself. Siddle is like net practice though I agree. Lyon's record in 4th innings is terrible, and Mitch is quality but appears to be scared atm of bowling how we all know he can. His reaction to hitting Kohli first innings and lack of bounders thereafter pretty telling.
i'd not be writing off harris until after we've played on some of the more bowler friendly wickets. he's a very good bowler.
100 test wickets has he is hardly a legend, but he is steady bowler
100 wickets at under 23 in 24 tests with a strike rate under 50 ain't too bad.
again, let's see how he goes at Brisbane.

Conveniently forgetting that he gets them at an average of 23!

he is no darren gough
3 an over until the new ball would leave things very interesting if India still have wickets in hand. Needing around 5/6 an over for the last 17 odd overs against the new ball
india will lose 2nd test match if brisbane pitch plays the same has last year against england
that was one of the fastest pitches ive seen for the fast medium bowlers
Flip flop coming. Good batting by the Indians so far...
aussies need to bowl someone else why they bowling lyon when they trying to save match now, he has 1/90
i think india go for win now, aus give india a sniff a 360 total in 98 overs would be good in cricket like 10 years ago but not now with 20 20 batting styles in cricket
i thought aus would set 400 in 92 overs that would take out the india win for sure

India favourites soon?
Can't believe I missed my chance at 17/2..... This ones over.
I wonder how much money there is to be made backing the tie 'no' at $1.01 every match... Couldn't be bothered myself by sometimes I see how much is matched there and reckon there'd be a fair bit in it
Especially considering most the time it's only traders laying off so they don't get screwed over when bets are void on match odds
159 needed in 37 overs = RRR of about 4.3. Very doable esp with wickets in hand. I'd be very surprised if India don't have a serious go at this. Fully expecting them to chase it now tbh.
Shame that Vijay didn't get the ton - mental thing there though, let the pressure get to him on 99. Still top knock and more than done his job.
that was crazy prices there. Draw went out to 2.80 but draw always should have come in.... weird
well done Vijay and Kohli now there to get them home if they are game for it.
wow this is amazing stuff. 2 gone in the over and its all on.
If proof were ever needed of the virtue of DRS , this is a prime example . Should India be allowed to veto it ?
kohli won't block - get him though and you can see india shutting up shop. Rohit and Saha more than capable.
Indias own fault there is no referral,though Aussies have been intimidating umpires throughout
Draw fave by default?? Plenty of time a result one way or the other for mine...
I guess the draw is fav because the synopsis is that India will not go for the win now?
but the last over its gone from 1.50 odd to 1.70 odd. The market does not know what to make of this.
australia the dumb bums should have never been in this spot if they set 400 target
you are not wrong there slip5, and that would have meant/mean, that they could be more aggressive as well with their field settings without having to worry about runs..
india need to go for target they deserve history, not those aus
I don't know why everyone though the pitch was gonna do things today. It was a road yesterday and it's not gonna crumble over night.
blake you dont have to a cricket expert either to know this, this is one of the strangest declaretions i have seen
They're gonna lose this unless Kohli is prepared to bat for the draw. And even then.
this is why I prefer test cricket over anything else. The drama the excitement, nothing else compares to this.
They surely do and they were there for 28/1 only 3 hours ago. Looks like the incentive of the overnight declaration worked to pull India to shreds when they began to get so close.
Great game. Great result. India can hold heads high.
india should have played for draw once rohit was out, it is another bad loss nothing improve and they only take 12 wickets
fletcher has to go now surely he teaches the batters nothing
The reality is that Australia dominated this test match. They took 20 wkts, they scored at a better run rate each innings and it was only close because Australia made a very sporting declaration. Yes Kohli played great and whilst he and Vijay were going well it looked like the declaration was too generous.
But nothing should hide the fact that Australia were by far the better team here.

thats why south africa are one of the best teams they understand the match situation and they would have played for draw when 5 wickets down
As I said earlier, don't over-analyse, just lay Indians away from home and enjoy the carnage 
Although to be fair atleast they went for the win this time unlike that embarrassing effort against South Africa where they **** themselves. If this is a sign of things to come under Kohli's future captaincy then it'll be good for test cricket.

Another example in test cricket why you never back the draw at short odds. What a great game and great humility shown by Kholi in his post game speech. Cricket was the winner all round here.
Good point Tyco. Very well spoken by Kohli considering how disappointed he must have been
Yeah I feel for Kholi, he must have been shattered at coming so close and especially with the hand he played himself. Just a few more runs from him and it may have been a different result.
Without those 2 bad umpiring decisions, India would have won.
Unfortunately for them, Brisbane is next, where Aus have their best chance of a decisive win.
2-0 down by the end of the week I'm afraid. Then Aus will play conservatively.

vijay would have been out in the 16th over if they had drs though.
but of course the game is better with it. the most tiresome bit however is the way in which india inherently flawed excuse is entertained and tolerated by commentators and journalists. it's so very straight forward to refute it.

Ind only took 12 wickets and came close to winning the Test match. My tactic of lay Ind and collect 5 days later worked out as usual in the end.
Well played Kohli- perhaps the greatest batsman of all time.

For all we say about the game and I am repeating myself after a few brews, this game epitomizes why test cricket will always be the number one game in town. For India to go from 32's to 2's and Australia to go from 20's to winning all on the last day, with all the drama, the courageousness of Kholi, the brain fade, etc, it has everything. Test match cricket for mine is here to stay.
no heart murmurs on the way YOMOMMA? I can see a steel in this young Indian batting lineup. Kohli great bat, man and leader. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
well done Yomomma but I certainly did not "lay India" outright and collect. But that may be the best strategy in the next game.
No, I was sleeping. It's on in the middle of the night for me.
what a final day trading though 
, Kohli was immense in this test and what a fine cricketing attitude he displayed as captain

there's no doubt it is.
very few sports can deliver the sort of payoff test cricket can, in fact, no sport really can. the problem is that many people don't want to invest the time and would rather invest a great deal less for a much weaker payoff.
but that doesn't give their claims any legitimacy.

Agree with the sentiments above. Sadly though the vast majority do not hence the limited overs stuff being where the money is/the more focal parts of the game nowadays by some way.
laying india at 8-1 aint exactly gonna take u to the penthouse suite at the bellagio, unless ur bank 5 or 6 figures.....obviously its easy cash laying india away from home.....i hope u all laid the boolloox out of the draw as i told u to.....before u all get carried away by kohli remember what happened to him in england just a few months ago....he was jimmy andersons b*tch.....lets c how he plays 4 the next few tests this was the easiest pitch india gonna play on......im gonna absoluetly lump on when they play at the scg (do it 4 hughsey)
Omg I am in India with Mrs 'Death. Couldn't get internet at times. Saw As at 9's final day and thought most of you guys will now be retired. Well done all as I am sure most of you are now rich!
india gunna find out next week why brisbane normally kicks of the series 
it will be as green as the outfield I would suggest
draw is really short 
expected 3/1+ for typical gabba test, yet its barely above 2/1

Market spooked by the BoM weather forecast. Draw went from 4.4 to sub 3.
Doubt we will lose more than a session overall, and if it's a green seamer that wont matter.

Live in Bris. Work 100 mtres from Gabba. Sparkling hot brisbane day, not a cloud in the sky. Be extremely surprised if we get any hint of rain before 5 pm local time.
For all the talk of green tops etc, there has been 2 draws from the last 4 tests at the Gabba, and neither was overly affected by rain as far as I can remember. Caveat to that I guess is that this test was rescheduled and is this pitch under prepared??
What's your take on the forecast for the rest of the test Ozbattla?
'Gabba curator Kevin Mitchell Jr has delivered a sobering warning to India ahead of the second Commonwealth Bank Test in Brisbane starting on Wednesday, conceding that the bouncy pitch may be greener than usual due to heightened humidity.'
I'll be interested to see how India's seamers go if they bowl 1st.

Tractor.. Weather very predictable here at the moment .. Hot and humid with a chance of a storm late in the day. Havent had a storm for about a week and when they come not until 5pm or so which is when play is due to close each day. Dont see it being to affected.
