Australian cricket legend Ian Healy is shocked by the team management's decision to include two off-spinners -- Nathan Lyon and young Todd Murphy -- who have almost similar action and have left the visitors shorn of variety and variation in the slow-bowling department. 

India, after bundling out the visitors for 177 on day one thanks to Ravindra Jadeja's five-for, dominated with the bat as well and notched up 77 for one, negotiating 17 overs of spin from veteran Lyon and Murphy with ease.
