AO take a leaf out of this pitch
You do realise that the same technology and methodolgy is used in developing the AO drop ins as the MCG ones? In other words the MCG and Adelaide oval drop in are basically the same style of pitch.

Yeah, good point, the Adelaide Test was boring as batshit, especially the last day.
Didn't make up for 3 days of rubbish

That Watto averaged close to 50 and was then opening the batting
That put pressure on the bowlers
These days he is trying too hard to play like a technically correct test batsman
Its not working
That puts pressure on himself
Someone needs to clear his mind
I would like to think Boof is the man to get Watto going , but it aint happening , yet
Basically Watto needs a new mindset
Perhaps the timing of the blow he received from James Pattinson may actually end up helping him with the bat !
Cant do much worse !

Incorrect, he got out for 28 in Brisbane, and hasn't made a 49 in his past 9 innings as far as cricinfo tells me

Still mourning Phil Hughes
Much better or more accurately more consistent bowling by India today (for those wondering why there is a difference in outcome on day 1 here v day 1 AO)

It was a close finish thanks to 2 declarations by Australia
Without declarations AGAIN - many MORE AO tests would end up in draws

On the flip side Adelaide 92-93, the tied test of Brisbane and Melbourne 82-83 didn't require declarations.
Generally when no declarations are required the pitch is a shocker like Trinidad 1995 or Chennai 2004 (the last test of that series).
The fact you have to declare to get a result is not unique to Adelaide

What about every other day 1 for the last 20 years when comparing day 1 at each ground
