It's the first session of the match, Ponting needs to fill his boots, and he is doing that to his credit. Looking for a big hundred.

Yep. Captain runs are worth double in team morale currency. The feeling can last for a series too (as it can when it goes the other way....).

In a contest between two top-level sides on a pitch with some early juice it is.
The pitch is hardly juicy. A couple of things earlier, that's it. It would be disappointing if they got anything less than 450. Same for India in the 2nd innings.

Variable bounce in the first hour means this could get pretty ugly in a few days.

There wasn't much "juice" in the wicket as such but there was some movement with the new ball given the early start and all. Wasn't easy batting out there and 1 down is a pretty solid start.

edit: Hmm, bit lucky there.

I love the sight of Katich diving back into his crease, obviously the man doesn't care much about the skin on his elbows.
