Differing starts

A strange start by India. Kumble opens the bowling rather than putting on Pathan, and then decides to not put on a silly point for himself. Just one slip and a forward short-leg. Exceedingly strange. Good start by Australia, they are batting positively as you'd expect, with several singles and boundaries already in the bag. And now Ishant Sharma has replaced Kumble - I'm not getting this all, and I'm afraid it seems to be betraying the lack of a real plan.
