Agree with all those saying Pathan should open, will give India the best chance of winning in Adelaide. Even if he doesn't open, there's no way he should be dropped.

They have just achieved something no other side has done in four years and you're saying they shouldn't celebrate! Are you kidding???
And since when was the match a dead rubber? Who cares about the Border-Gavaskar trophy anyways? It's not like the Ashes where the urn is the most important thing. They have the chance to draw a series in Australia which would be monumental.

More monumental then last time when they were in Australia?

For sure, coming from 2-0 down would be even more of an amazing feat.

Definitely. Not only is it coming back from 2-0 down, but in 2003 the pitches were too flat and the Aussie bowlers were quite crap. Both Warne and McGrath were out, while this is pretty much the front line Aussie bowling attack this time around. Of course, India don't have their front line, but the replacements have bowled as well as the top guys, so it matters less.

Congrats to india.....a well deserved win!!!! at the moment australia seem to lack the firepower and to be honest indians are not finding any difficulty in getting the australians out......i think india will win the last match only becuase they got excellent rhythm with them and secondly their aggressive atitude have made the aussies think and work hard. Not to mention knowing that they can draw the series, they will throw everything at them. So i will predict an indian win.
Australia are really struggling with their batting, and i can guarantee you that if ponting doesnt do much in the next match, same result will come up.

Since India's disastrous tour in 1991-92, the teams have met 21 times in Test cricket; the numbers now stand at 10-8 in Australia's favour. In the corresponding period Australia's record stands at 27-9 against England, 12-2 against Pakistan, 15-4 against South Africa and 9-1 against Sri Lanka.

Yes, very much...By the way how are you celebrating today? The thunder bowler Tait and the 2nd best batsman after Bradman who became 2nd best by making 2000 runs in test cricket must have given you enough to celebrate...Go and celebrate your favourite Border-Gavaskar trophy which is your favourite thing on earth it seems....Go sleep with it...Also tell Punter 2 do the same.....He'll be happier than you because it has been a great series with the bat for him thus far....So go and celebrate and spare the visitors in this thread...

Do we have to call it just the post Warne era? Can't it be called the post Warne and McGrath era?
But yeah if Hogg is your no. 1 spinner and you have guys like Rogers and Jaques opening, we are going to struggle away from home on occasions.
McGrath's replcements are not too bad or not far behind, but Warne's replacements are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath....And in the subcontinent and quiet a lot elsewhere overseas too, its him (Warne's loss) that will be missed more than McGrath's...

Devoed.I love reading back through tour threads with the benefit of hindsight.
That Federer call was rather gun.
I think that's an accurate call. Almost all the bowlers now in test cricket have played all their cricket in an era which favours aggressive batting and this has just not allowed bowlers to be able to work on getting rythym and learn to work on the batsmen.
Now that Australia have no bowlers from the 'past' eras they will struggle more.
