***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

Glad to see Bhajji back in the team. Ashwin isn't very good purely as a bowler as far as test matches go. Looks like no Jadeja then in the first test. Hoping Rahane would open instead of Vijay or Dhawan

There's an interview on Cricinfo with him saying he'll be playing his 100th test in Chennai.

Poor Bhuvneshwar. nfi why we need 3 specialist spinners and jadeja to top it off. Bhuv could've just bowled 8 overs upfront and ****ed off.

This could be a make or break series for Sehwag. If India perform poorly and his bad form continues it could mark the end of his amazing career.

Over the past two years he's scored 865 runs at 32 with just one ton in 15 Tests. To be fair he turns 35 this year so he was always going to struggle to maintain his performance past the age of 33-34 because that is when a batsman's refelexes really start to wane.

Typically, the players who continue to excel into their mid and even late 30s are the ones who have a great technique because that solid base is always there for them. Whereas "eye" players like Sehwag fade much quicker.

With the terrorist attack in Hyderabad today you wonder if the 2nd test there next week will take place. Hope the tour isn't in doubt.

Actually there have been unconfirmed reports about Cricket Australia already faxing BCCI about that test match and not wanting to play there now. Didn't Jono want to attend that match ?

India can't win a single match. Their streak will continue. No substantive changes whatsoever from the lineup that got their asses kicked.

India shouldn't change the venue. If CA or any players feel unsafe, IMO, they have every right to not play. In which case, the match should be abandoned.

Why the **** did Harbajhan get recalled?

The **** will also take wickets against us, guaranteed.

This week, I've stayed up till 8am, watching cricket in New Zealand, while trying to maintain a decent sleep schedule, and am now debating getting up at 4am to watch this. The joys of cricket.

There is substantial change to their opposition though. I fear we are gunna be spun right round, right round, like a record...

We'll need someone to reveal a talent for playing spin that hasn't even been guessed at yet. But I'm hoping for that miracle.
