If we don't declare till 10 minutes before the start we will still be 'batting' half an hour before play. Meaning we can request the light roller for the pre play rolling (law 9.1.1 for those playing at home). If we declare over night then India can have it rolled twice by the heavy roller.

Thankyou for that.
In your opinion. Would it make a big difference?

Probably not.

But it might.

A small difference can make a big difference in cricket.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as rolling it "twice" (apart from end of yesterday if we gave them a few overs, and then again this morning). It is simply a maximum time period of 7 minutes. It doesn't appear to me that India can roll it for 14 minutes (i.e. "before start of the day" + "before start of innings"). And actually if we bat and put the light roller on, then India will get more rolling done (light roller + 7 minutes heavy roller) than if we declare before play starts (7 minutes heavy roller).

We batted on and opted for no rolling. Since India then just used the light roller* it made no difference.

My interpretation of law 9.1.1 is that on any day other than day 1 the batting team can opt to have the pitch rolled twice since it says "and" not "or". I could be wrong though. I'm not super across the laws that pertain to how the pitch is treated outside play since I've played my whole career on astro. Just 1 game on turf in 1995!

*What Ian Chappell always used to call the equivalent of no rolling on an Australian pitch.

We've been so unlucky with those DRS reviews. So close.

Looking at the crew lists the boats have too many inexperienced crew. This is a growing problem, a few on board with allot of experience and the rest with little, some paying for the ride. If you made the qualification tougher then the fleets would plummet at the lower end. The other problem is larger boats in less experienced hands - when sh it happens, it happens in an even more severe way.

I realize Kohli isn’t exactly Miss Congenitally but it’s always sad seeing a champion fall off the cliff.

Watching a true master of anything begin to decline is always sad.

What a great game of cricket.

Fantastic win to the Aussies!

That wicket from Boland after tea where he got the caught behind off a lifter was an incredible effort ball.

Now we need it rain in Sydney.
I cant help thinking if India get off the leash it will be lights out.

A country of 1 billion mad cricketers & the influence of the BCCI & it's €£¥€$ how can they even lose..

A truly great game of test cricket. Going into day 5 both teams had legitimate chances of gaining a victory.

And what an emphatic endorsement by the record crowds who attended the match right into day five.

How pathetic is this. They are deliberately not running so Cummins doesn’t have to face Bumrah. He can’t hide from Bumrah the hole match.

this was the opposite of a "hole match"
do we reckon the Aussies went easy on Siraj once they felt the game was in hand so he wouldn't be dropped for Sydney?
Joke.
I thought this was actually the case early in Stuart Broad's career, but the Jack Skellington lookalike turned into a very good bowler. One Aussie would probably call him the best he's faced, I think.

The West has a rare ability to turn a great win into a totally unneeded insult to the opposition. How desperate are they nowadays to get a reaction, any reaction.

A test match win that will be talked about for the next few decades i reckon.

The ebbs and flows throughout were incredible.
