India has an extremely poor record playing against Australia in Australia. The rate of defeat is way too high. There are hardly any wins produced by India.
So based on such stats, i conclude that India may again lose both test and one day series.
whether he scores a ton or one hundredth of a ton, he wil always be remembered for standing "tall" against the tallest of fast bowlers...apart from sunil gavaskar, hes the only other shortest player hoo have shattered the careers of many a bowlers and hoo is still continuing to do so, despite his so called "age"...may this demi god once again pulverise the aus for one lasttime and return with the cup in their own backyard...hail sachin, hail team india..
Shewag is the only batsman who can handle big fast bowlers like Tait and Lee. If he can give us some speedy start, then nothing like it. Go for it Shewag.........and get 300 again.

If he doesn't make more than 4 ducks, then probably the bet would be interesting and close enough...
There has been a lot of talk about Shaun Tait coming in who is bowling 150km/h plus,'' said McGrath of the South Australian, who rocked Queensland with match figures of 10-98 bowling at speeds touching 160km/h at the Gabba last week.
"Guys are saying it is the quickest they have ever seen which is pretty special.''
The amazing evolution of Stuart Clark - McGrath's replacement as Test metronome - combined with maturing Lee's accuracy has "Pigeon'' convinced Australia can accommodate Tait.
"I always knew they could. You have Stuie Clark to do that (containing) role,'' said McGrath, while filming a commercial for Elders in Adelaide.
"Brett has really impressed me the way he has come back and bowled this summer, getting man of the series against Sri Lanka. I have been impressed with Mitchell Johnson for a long time.
"It's whether you have the balance with a spinner in or whether you rely on Andrew Symonds and Michael Clarke and have another quick.''
Serial pest Sourav Ganguly this week posted his maiden double ton against Pakistan and duly claimed India had the batting depth to humble Australia. World Cup hero McGrath disagrees.

bowling coach for which paceman? we knew what prasad achieved in his career with numerous chances given...Better to seek Kapil's able guidance and help collage ICL with BCCI
RE:can u justify?
by Sanjay on Dec 18, 2007 03:40 PM
Bcoz he is the best around!!! Kapil is in ICL, Sree has bcom a match refree....no one else in India to bcom a bowling coach!! Oh god what a dreadful situation!!!
The media is always commenting on players, they take a player or two as experts and comment on players like sachin, Dravid or Sourav. Those so called experts have been a real failure in their respective lives and they comment on such things where they themselves have performed so dismally and hardly didnt do anything in their careers.
we all know that everyone will always like to perform better. When they(Sachin, Ganguly and Dravid) feel that they are not able to rule they will retire themselves without suggestions of any body. And lastly and finally I pray these news channels not to rake unnecessary contrversies to gain cheap popularity and increase viewership of their channels/Blogs.

Why rediff is giving such a importance to Sachin? Why not Saurav A bengal Tiger? Rediff is biased. Dada's comeback has shown world he is greatest of all cricketers in today's world.

Ganguly fought Australian dominance and arrogance. Hence Australians mob Tendu, who tries to be friendly with his enemies also..

Australian Media knows difference between Test Class and Ranji class players and there no eastern indian reporters over there.
