During the last tour, Ganguly played a superb inning to alter the defeatist mind-set of the Indian team. This inning broke the shackles and then VVS, Dravid, Sehwag and Sachin simply tore the Aussie bowling apart. Team India should remember this and be ready to face a fired up Aussie team, which is planning to throw Lee and Tait combination at them. Lets see how our guys fare against this super fast bowling attack, backed up by Johnson, Bracken and the rest... Best of luck - Team India
India will definitely loose this series 4-0 & will not be able to reach semis of triangle series They should have taken Rahul which would been politically correct decision

you are right.our senior players hv not even had 10 % of exposure of their cricketing careers on australian soil.i really wonder what the younger crop would do as they need to have experience following them to lead them from the front.
Its just not exuberance of flashing brilliance to do well there but a strategy to sutain the onslaught of kagaroos and come out on top.
You would always see the kangaroos giong ruthelessly out for the kill whether it is the kiwis,indians,south africans or bangladesh,kenya..... so that they can never raise their morale.Where as in a counrty like us if we have won the rubber we tend to relax and throw away the advantage.
I definitely agree with you regarding rahul dravid's selection.India is going to face a tough task ahead.

"Semis" in a triangular series ??? There have to be at least 4 teams to have "semis". What about an India-Sri Lanka final (best of three, of course !)? Quite Possible !

Who is this Rahul you are talking about? I suppose it is not either Rahul Bajaj the industrialist or Rahul Gandhi you know who!
If you meant Rahul Dravid, he is already in the tour party!
