Weather report says all good, bring it on.

Some of the Indian boys I work with reckon India actually have a chance of not losing by an innings every game lol.

also i just hope this is competitive and that there is some movement over from teh introduction of the 20/20 series on the sub continent, that there is plenty of runs scored and a result each test.

The Indian openers bowled really well and the Aussies were very lucky (having said that, they also did well by not following the ball when it moved away from them). But not having got an early wicket the Indians are in trouble with 2 spinners and having to deal with the Hayden sweep shot.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....hold on! did someone say cricket....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I get bored watching cricket. Now if they turned it into a contact sport where you could swingbat the bowler while running between wickets and the the bowler was allowed to tackle the batsmen when running I think it would be a more fun game to watch.

I used to hate cricket but now I love watching it. Though I rarely seek it out. I can watch the test when I'm inspired.

Don't ask me much about the going ons in the cricket world though lol.

Aussies in trouble now at 7/288. But I suspect it'll be very hard to bat on days 4 and 5, so India will want to finish this quickly and put a good lead on the board the next couple of days.

Hahhahahahaha, you're a noob. Because tests are played over 5 days there are times to attack and times to be patient and wait. They of course depend on the reading of the conditions. I was just pointing out now is probably the time conditions will be best for India so it is the time to attack.

Jesus christ, just watched an extended highlights package of the entire test match, we totally dominated India.

What I can't understand is how India were bowled out for less then 200 twice, I mean FFS they have Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman all CLASS batsmen, then there is the likes of Ganguly, I hate the f***er but he is/was a talented batsmen. After that Singh (6 x 6's at the 20/20 WC anyone!) and MS Doni is a bad ass in ODI's.

I honestly don't think our bowling attack is that good to bowl them out.. but we are a team playing with massive confidence, Haydo's is a f***ing wrecking ball, so powerful and dominate when he opens, bloody brilliant.

2nd test will be closer in my opinion, their spinners will come into their own and the SCG isn't as friendly for the quicks.

Is there any team at the moment even capable of beating Australia in a test match? I think not.

Every team in the world is utter s*** compared to us. This is why they are pushing 20 20 because they think they may have a chance. We may very well have killed test cricket because of how good we are.
