M.Clark scored 98 in first inning. Katich also scored 50 in 2nd inning. So we can't say it is batsman's nightmare.
WICKET - SYMONDS c McCULLUM b MARTIN 20 Martin continues to Symonds, the Kiwis desparate for a wicket at the moment with 13 overs left for the day. They felt they nearly had one, Symonds glances it just eludes the keeper but it is leg byes. The next ball is a bouncer and Symonds has a swipe at it, edges and is gone - 5/109 and game on at the 'Gabba.

WICKET - WATSON LBW b MARTIN 5 Well this game could be over tomorrow at this rate, wicket number 16 for the day as Watson is trapped in front by Martin, only half forward in defence, Australia 6/115

Indians are good players of fast bowling. But they struggles where they find much seam movement. Bounce or speed is not a problem.

Except Perth all the wickets in Aus are good batting wicket. It's poor batting show by Aussies.

no..gabba used to be a difficult pitch in the 90s...only Sydeny and Adelaide are true batting pitches in Aus.

u don't know a shit abt gabba....its a swing assisting wicket where the ball seams off the pitch..its not a particular bouncy track like MCG or WACA.

ghodi ke, MCG is far bouncier than Brisbane....if u say Brisbane is like headingley it shld be a seam assisting wicket and not a bouncy track as u stupidly claimed above.
In the last few tests, Ponting has only one century to show (scored in Bangalore Test against India) and rest of his scores are forgettable by his past standards. In the ongoing test against NZ, he has scored 4 & 17.
This reminds one of our own Ganguly, Dravid etc.
So, verily, Ponting has been Indianised.
On the other hand, the Indians under the new captain cool, captain marvel have become (let us hope it lasts long) something of an all conquerors, analagous to the good old Australian teams. Also, the Indian players have become overtly aggressive and do not take things lying down or meekly these days.
Thus, there is nothing wrong in saying that Team India has beeen Australiaised.
When the wheel of time rotates, what is at the nadir goes up to the zenith and vice-versa!
