Lyon and Murphy did OK with the bat too. 

Despite some cheap wickets, the change from bowler friendly to batter friendly pitches is astounding.

Not when you think about where we are playing and who the opposition is.
The IPL never seem to have any trouble with their prepared pitches.
The whole series has been farcical in terms of pitch preparation and the ICC need to step in and make it clear India will be docked test championship points if they continue to prepare substandard spin nightmare pitches .

Just do not get why Smith wants to be slipping to spinners, I get he takes spectacular diving catches, but his technique is rubbish, he moves too much which makes him too likely to drop catches he should take. He'll get the seemingly impossible, and drop puddings!

btw., Watching Kuhnemann makes me think, imagine if old timers like myself could back in the day chuck the pill like modern bowlers?
