In hindsight we should have played 2 spinners on this pitch, it really is turning alot more than the normal Adelaide pitch and SOK would complimented Lyon being a left armer but we didn't know that at the time and Siddle has not really contributed.

I've never seen Lyon get so much turn but if this pitch deteriorates and we have to make runs against their spin attack then it could get interesting.

Siddle not contributing is no surprise.

Johnson has mostly bowled snot.

Lyon takes a week to get a wicket

Bowling attack was never going to be good enough

yeh, thats a no brainer and with MMarsh bowling at 140+ we could support a second spinner

bit late now

this drop in pitch is not a typical Adelaide pitch imo

I think the flatness of the pitch is very similar to Adelaide pitches of the past but the turn Lyon was getting isn't normal Adelaide, not for a finger spinner anyway

I don't think the Indians thought things through when they went around the wicket to set it up nicely for Lyon
