A couple of days ago, Australia spinner-turned-commentator Kerry O'Keeffe made a mockery of Indian domestic cricket's standards. He took a lighthearted swipe at debutant opener Mayank Agarwal, suggesting he scored his maiden first-class triple century against the Railways' "canteen staff".

By the end of the third day's play yesterday, O'Keeffe was forced to eat humble pie after the Australian batting folded meekly to be all out for 151. After observing Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli grind the Australian bowlers by virtue of disciplined batting, the hosts' top-order took a different approach and came off second best.
