Injured Vijay ruled out of second Test

Already the pitch looks to have something called grass left on it.

But as he stood at the other end, Lyon was spinning a web.

“I’ve been there a couple of times in that kind of mindset”. We let the game slip from our hands due to those dropped catches. “I don’t think there is going to be any extra variation added to his bowling suddenly”.

Australian cricket team landed in India with nearly every single cricket expert expecting them to be whitewashed in the Test series.

“We had a chat about it (improving fielding) and we are working on few of the areas where we could have done much better in the last Test match”, said Vijay, who was among those who spilled a catch.

Steve Smith loves playing against India and is Australia’s man in-form with a hundred on a hard batting surface in Pune.

“The Pune wicket was not poor”. Like every batsman he will face a lean period at some stage in his career, but it seems he has the attributes to overcome most challenges and be a successful opening batsman for a long time in the baggy green. We know Kohli is going to be another key wicket for the rest of the series.

Lee, the former Australia pacer who picked up 310 wickets in 76 Tests, said that Lyon’s finger position was an indicator of how he might have attempted variations to get rid of Kohli. They looked pretty comfortable out in the middle.

Shane Warne, Michael Clarke and Ravi Shastri, all sitting in the commentary box for the first test, were critical of the way India frivolously wasted their reviews as Australia stormed to a 333-run victory.

Looking at the Pune defeat, Hirwani was philosophical, as usual.

And it’s what Australia seldom do in India: only twice in 61 years have they passed 550. So, in the second Test, they will try to keep their winning run intact. In reply, Australia ended the day unscathed, with David Warner and Matt Renshaw taking the team to 40 without loss.

The 20-year-old battled a stomach bug and raced off the ground while batting to take a toilet break. Us as a team, we never got excited by praise and we don’t focus on criticism either. “The coaches will help you”, KL Rahul said.

“We have had a fantastic home season and it’s just one of those games where things didn’t go our way”. “When you train everyday in temperatures close to 30 degree Celsius, the body gets toned”.
