Given that the stands were open and a Getty Images photographer captured at least one clear image of the field on Wednesday, the step of preventing Aussies media seemed fairly unnecessary by ground staff in Delhi.
“It looks pretty dry. The groundsman said the nets look pretty similar and the two days we trained on were really low and took a lot of turn,” Mitchell Starc said on Wednesday morning.
“If that’s an indication, then that’s what it’s going to be like.”
“Having a look the last couple of days it looks like it’s prepared pretty similar as well.”
India has not lost in Delhi since 1987.
The Nagpur Test was a tribute to India’s sway and their performance over the preceding ten years in home games. With a massive victory over Australia of an innings and 132 runs, they took a 1-0 series lead.
