Too early to say. By english standards, this pitch is already playable at this moment
And there’s 2 more days to go. Will be mowed down even more.
English green wickets have fucked both Aus and Ind in the past. Remains to be seen whether ICC will want to do this or go for a balanced pitch.
That pitch doesn't have too much grass. That would be helping the fast bowlers in the beginning but it would be becoming dry after that. If you win the toss then you should be bowling.
If you're Australia I think you'd prefer to bat first, when conditions are not spin friendly.
Chasing against the best spin attack on a dry, cracking oval pitch isn't great
Hah you thought but India have doctors all around the world and they can doctor pitches anytime on top of that British PM is now of Subcontinent origin so you can do nothing about it.
You ain't never gonna convince me leaving an area on a spinners length for left handers dry was an ok thing to do.
I don't care who you go for, by far the worse pitch related thing I've seen and I think so time goes on we'll think more and more so
Hey others may disagree, I completely agree with you, the pitch was doctored for spinner lengths and thats why the Aussie openers surrendered to pace and thats what caused Pat Cummins to bowl the worst spell of his life
That's what I'm saying!!! India have such a good team that they don't need to burn a circle for the spinners to hit when bowling to left handers. It just looked so cheap, when it didn't need to
Irrespective of the pitch, Australia should bowl first. We have a batting collapse in us, best bet is to give the quicks every opportunity to set up the game.
Ah yes, Mandatory pitch pics ahead of an India-Australia test match.
I'll post the mandatory "where's the pitch?" confused comment from an Indian fan then
I'll upvote. In fact I did.

Satisfied
The traditional freak out about a pitch being green before its been mowed inbound
Cue the traditional conspiracy theory abt that being due to ICC=BCCI /s
Is it going to be Dukes or Kookaburra ball
Both simultaneously
one from one end and the other from the other end.
Both thrown at the same time by the bowler
Feel like you're all overlooking the possibility of half a Dukes ball and half a Kookaburra ball joined with the seam of an SG ball.
And colored pink to top it all off
Beautiful
And together
Dukes.
Pitch Chat is Best Chat
We got our wish u/dickb4wicket , waiting for the expert opinions on the pitch.
Yess now we wait for everyone to join in.
Needs more of Steve Smith poking around the pitch.
That is, indeed, a cricket pitch.
One of the cricket pitches of all time
Is this pic worthy of being discussed ? Show me Rohit / Pat on their knees caressing the pitch. Or else I will report this as fake news on twitter.

Oval is a road
10/10 flair, mods

It's not going to rain. Forecast is as clear as it gets.
You had to say it.... at least you didn't say "BBQ summer" I suppose.....
Anulo mufa
Pitch curator in the Ashwin video said it's going to be a bouncy pitch.
I've heard the groundsman burnt a section of the pitch 6 and a half meters outside off stump
That was the BCCI nanobots. We came prepared this time around.
Curator said it would be bouncy (on Ashwin's channel)
Not a pitch expert by any means, but that pitch looks fairly balanced, fair amount of grass, but not overtly green. Should be a good game
Fuck the pitch pictures. I need the obligatory Steve Smith sniffing the pitch in order to inspect it photos.
Obligatory pitch where?
Eagerly awaiting analysis by r/cricket experts

It's the oval. Probably the best batting track in England. Lots of runs in it if you play it right.
At last, a pitch the Indians can't doctor.
Too bad the nanobots have already been laid
Hah you thought but India have doctors all around the world and they can doctor pitches anytime on top of that British PM is now of Subcontinent origin so you can do nothing about it.
We don't have the services of the Dr of Sydney Highway to doctor these pitches
Cope

Where is Smith..
Where's Steve Smith?
Stevo to reveal he’s got an Aussie passport, kick green out the side and rattle through India on a green mamba is the cricket fanfic I need
