“Looks like there could be thunderstorms on Friday,” Adelaide Oval curator Damian Hough was quoted as saying by Fox Cricket.
“I’m not exactly sure when those storms will hit, but we’re hoping to pull the covers on Friday.
“Hopefully, it will be clear on Saturday morning, then it will be good for the rest of the Test.”
Pitch report
Last time, India played a pink-ball Test at the same venue and the Virat Kohli-led team registered the lowest score in Test history, a humiliating 36 all out.
Adelaide Oval curator Howe said the pitch will be spiced up this time around.
“On the morning of the third day, no one expected the Test match to end in three days,” said Hugh.
“That was really good bowling from Australia … I don’t think the pitch played a part in it.
“Our job is to get the balance right and really, really, try to compete.
“Both teams have elite bowlers, world-class bowlers. I mean, we’ve seen enough day-nighters that if you get new rock lights with two new batteries in, it can be very difficult.
