That was fun, it's always fun on wickets go down towards the end no matter which side you support but 354-6 with one batsmen unlikely to come back of Australia, the end of the first day of this highly emotional test series between Australia and India. Australia got over 350 runs, They'll be relatively happy. The position Australia were in, India will be quite happy to go in with six down and Michael Clark unlikely to bat, so they'd be happy. 
Darren Lehman, Australian coach is always a big fan of 300+ runs in a day & they made more than that, He would take this all the time, wants to move test matches forward, keep them moving forward. Australia got the runs on the board, We will judge this total and the scorecard based on the first hour of tomorrow morning. Brad Haddin can take score to 450 and 500 quickly tomorrow. One of the tale-enders made a test hundred, Mitchel Johnson. The others made first-class hundred Peter Siddle, so, they know what they're doing, but Haddin has been a very very important part of Australia's batting line-up.
SPD Smith is a very very handy addition to the Australian team, He's probably been apart from David Warner whom show you gonna thrashes within a minute, He's been almost consistent player in last 12 months, He's done a great job.
Mohammad Shami getting two wickets towards the end that make India feel better, otherwise the wickets for shared amongst all of India's bowlers. Those last few overs will make them feel better, Its a hard pitch to bowl on this no doubt about it, they got their lines right eventually, Especially with the new hard bowl which is what need to do. It's a pitch where the wickets will generally be shed, you might get odd performance where you get someone to have a fifer, But generally, It was a hard day for pacers, So they will be little bit satisfied. You've got to give them credit for sort of running into bowl towards the end of the day and making something happen. We could be critical of where they've bowled particularly to the left handed batsmen, you might think that that's out of off-stump but when you consider a lot of that has been bowled from around the wicket that's too straight or too wide, as it, maybe one or the other. If you get the bowl in the right area doesn't matter how flat the pitch is.
It is going to be a critical 30-40 minutes.
