Interestingly, I just read that that the 1st international cricket match was between the USA and Canada

No, he decided to score his 19th century, 5,000 runs and add a couple to his 60+ test average by remaining not out on 178. Looking very much like a draw with only 2 days to go unless quick fall of Indian wickets, rapid scoring by Aussies and collapse by India or last 4 wickets for India add a huge number of runs and Australia collapse cheaply.
The answer to why the young Aussie bowlers break down (Starc) is so that young Aussie bowlers who have broken down (Cummins) can come back and bowl mightily impressively.

I don't think so. Australia's 2 spinners - who have both proven that they can be effective in India - are not getting wickets today. So the same would apply to India

No, I saw every test in the England series; we have a thing called BT Sport and Sky Sport believe it or not and every test involving A, E, I, SA, NZ, SL, Pak gets shown in full. A pitch breakdown is not looking likely, nor is India scoring runs quickly enough for other than a likely draw now.
