The Melbourne Cricket Ground has laid down arguably the best batting strip of all Australian grounds so far in the Border-Gavaskar series, and yet a silly mix-up in the middle between in-form opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli derailed what would have been India's stellar response to Australia's first innings total of 474, powered by a Steve Smith special ton on the second day of the fourth Test on Friday.
