    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    I really hope tomorrow that ganguly does not give easy singles to Martyn just to have a crack at Gillespie. He needs to attack both batsmen with full vigour. India need to restrict Australia to a maximum of 250 ideally.

    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    Who do you guys think India should open the bowling with tomorrow morning ? The 2 spinners in tandem - or would you be inclined to give Zaheer or Pathan a go at one end. Zaheer was getting a bit of reverse swing so Pathan may come into the equation.

    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    Well India certainly got the big wicket right before stumps. Bur a lot of work awaits India tomorrow -- they certainly cannot afford to be complacent one iota. Australia still have a fair bit of batting left -- India need to continue to bowl well and apply pressure right from the start. I was...

    India will be hoping that when they bowl, Pathan and Zaheer can actually bowl well and get some wickets. I think their opening spells are going to be very important -- India need early breakthroughs. How do people see the game poised at luch and it progressing into the afternoon sessions ?

    A very good young batsman - Mohammad kaif. Barry Richards said before this test that Kaif could bloom into a world class test middle order player if persevered with.

    What does that have to do with anything ? A batsmen can score runs without having to hit sixes.

    Australia 3-153 shortly before stumps. Hayden made a belligerent 67. Wicket takers for Mumbai - Agarkar, bahutule and Kulkarni. Things are interesting in the Bangalore game....India need 381 to beat India A and at stumps are 0-35 with Yuvraj and Sehwag opening.

    This is downright embarassing for India. Now 9-155 chasing India A's 302. Barring ganguly every other batsman has flopped. Of Course it is only a warmup game but it does illustrate what woeful form their batting lineup is in.

    Judging by the performance of India's batsmen in the ongoing game against India A, Australia could have a walk in the park in next week's test.

    It wouldn't surprise me if that happened, although it's unlikely.

    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    No I think those two are going to be the front line spinners -- but if one of them gets injured or if India decide to play 3 spinners (which is not totally out of the realms of possibility) sometime in the series, Bahutule may well get a look in. Personally I think Pathan, Kumble and Harbhajan...

    Karthik may not play but Bahutule, the Mumbai leg spinner could.

    Rest of India v Mumbai

    If Sachin Tendulkar's elbow recovers in time, I'd be very surprised if he didn't turn out for Mumbai in this game.

    Australia announce bowling-heavy squad for India

    Harbhajan has looked pretty good this season -- I admit, and he will be bowling on more conducive pitches in the Border Gavaskar trophy. Australia are probably heavy favourites but I'm supporting the underdogs India in this series -- hopefully they will win and Sachin will shake off his...
