Magic delivery: Ravichandran Ashwin makes David Warner look like a fool, again

There is no law in cricket which says the ball must not turn on Day One, but neither is there a law that as and when it does spin you must get into a tangle.

Seven months later he became a Test cricketer and on debut picked up five for 34 against Sri Lanka. With his pace, Yadav could have tested both the left-handed openers – David Warner and Renshaw – with his incoming ball and bouncer. However, Renshaw’s impressive performances against South Africa and Pakistan saw him retained, while Marsh edged out Usman Khawaja, who has notoriously struggled in the subcontinent previously.

Lady luck eluded both the Indian pacers and spinners and when it came to the reviews, it was done and dusted quickly with India gaining nothing.

Marsh was the highest scorer among the visitors with 66 runs off 197 balls while Renshaw, who did well to survive a hard morning session, posted 60.

Gritty half-centuries by Matt Renshaw and Shaun Marsh enabled Australia to post 237/6 in their first innings on the second day of the ongoing second cricket Test against India at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Sunday. The opener would shuffle to the back foot just before the ball was released. Australia will look to mount the lead on day 3 as India will give it all to dismiss the visitors as early as possible and come to bat with a positive frame of mind. Renshaw in particular had been edgy; his patient survival was critical for Australia, though he will need significant support as the day wears on.

Lyon, obviously, did plenty of that en route his haul of eight wickets on Saturday. We might just get similar pitches to what we experienced in Pune. Then only we can count up Virat Kohli’s skill as skipper of Indian side. “I know the ball before bounced and hit him on the thigh-pad and he’s a bit anxious about those two men on the leg side, but that’s bread-and-butter for an Indian batsman, a class player”. “There was a bit of talk, but I think that’s because they’re trying to unnerve each other and try and get under the skin”.

“I was just trying to enjoy it and laugh at what he was saying because some of it was quite amusing”.

“It’s just one day up and there are four more days to go”. It was quite amusing. Over and above, we are not playing test series against Pakistan on neutral wickets and still boast ourselves as number one side and World beaters. After a crushing defeat in the first Test, India were bundled out for 189 in their first innings and have already conceded a 48-run lead in the second Test. “We have had some wonderful memories together”, Kaif said.

Lyon has now moved past Brett Lee as the leading Australian wicket-taker against India he has taken 57 wickets against them while Lee took 53.
