After being dismissed for just 36 at Adelaide Oval, India have plenty of questions to answer before the second Test at the MCG
Before the first Test Ajinkya Rahane told reporters “communication will be the key” for India to combat Australia under lights at Adelaide Oval. He could never have imagined how loaded such innocuous words would become.
76 overs into a high-quality but slow moving opening day India were on top. Virat Kohli was easing through the gears of an innings of great maturity, his typical bombast subsumed by a steely determination. Rahane himself was proving a capable foil and together the pair had guided the tourists out of trouble and in sight of a decisive total. Then came the communication breakdown, and boy was it key.
