he might not have won but what about the century innings that paved way 4 india nt to lose the match and those who were not centuries but hepled india win
I think Mitchell Johnson will be the bowler Indians should watch out for. Brett Lee is over hyped and Indians may well be prepared to face his pace and bouncers. Mitchell Johnson may be the surprise package and Indians should never under estimate the young aussie bowlers. If they treat the bowling on merit and if batting clicks then we can definitely do well. Aussies may not like fielding for long hours and their batting may crumble if Zaheer and RP Singh can get swing as they got in England. Everything depends on our batting. The real mind game is how much our batsmen make the aussie bowlers suffer for a wicket

Australia may play 4 pacers. There is no weak link in their bowling. Who will the Indian batsmen go after? Johnson, Lee, Stuart Clark, Shaun Tait. All of them are like Flintoff in terms of speed. Plus Australian fielding is superb. This will really test the technique, tenacity and temperament.
say that the cheering of the crowd represents monkey chants...lets see what the ICC does about that! im sure the Aussies are going to be quadrouple as much racist as Indians. Team india please play well and prove to them that we are capable..!
why kartik as an opener....dravid can open the innings...last couple of matches dravid was doing that...kartik was out in the first spell....if dravid opens...yuvi will get a chance....these selectors playing dirty games ...otherwise why a world class player like yuvi is out from the 11 and an ordinary batsman like kartik is in the 11....I think there is some hidden agenda....let's give some chance to other keepers also...like parthiv patel...If selectors need somebody from tamil nadu they should select badrinath instead of dinesh kartik...Badri is a very good batsman compared to kartik....

I guess if Yuvraj opens the batting with Jaffer it would be a great batting lineup...and if he clicks it would be too good rather than Dravid opening the innings...
Australia tour will be tough for DRAVID . He will end as batsman. He is not confident against australian pace attack as what was noted in 1999/2000 series. 2003 series was sucessful for him as the bowlers were not fit and present

"2003 series was successful as the bowlers were not fit & present".
Bhai,just tell me ,who were the bowlers,Mcgrath & warne ,right? Even this time,they won't be there and the trio of bowlers playing now(Lee,Clark & Johnson)still have a long way to match their illustrious predecessors.So,our batsmen including Dravid have a chance to redeem their career averages against Australia.
I feel this is the best chance for India to come gud,by the next time these Aussie pacemen wud have gained experience & wud become lethal.

Take care of your career first. Dravid will take care of his.He has all the experience to do that.
Aussies are not going to forget your monkey taunts for Symonds. Although they never play fair (Greg Chappell was meant for World Cup disaster as Aussies wanted three-in-a-row, Murali being called a chucker, sachin given out wrongly, sledging and pushing - if Shreesanth does that he is overdoing it. if aussies do it, it is play hard and play fair.... many more) they always CLAIM to.
If Aussies do not behave well on field, players should leave the match and we spectators should turn off the TV.
