Indian spinners must be pretty eager to find a place in the team and get back some lost form against the weak, brittle Australian batting line up without the likes of Ponting, Hussey, Hadin, etc., I'm sure, Ausies will lose in 4 days. Ausies do much talking always prior to any series to psyche their opponents and let our tam not lose cool and give them back in the field strongly.
Re: yeah! yeah!! Obvious from the way Ausies played practice matches.

you first read the article fully. The rediff folks have take one statement completely out of context! the poor chap has spoken well about indian batsmen and spinners in the same article!!!
The Aussies could not handle the likes of Saxena and Dhurv and he is talking about Indian spinners under pressure. Bhajji, Ojha and Ashwin will be too much for the Aussies

Even ENG couldn't handle Ojha & Ashwin in the first test,but once they got used to the conditions,see what they did to us.A series loss in home conditions.So, don't write off any team by the way they played the practice games.

The England test was lost due to poor batting and not because of balling, The pitches were flat and there was no scope for ballers but our batsmen who were out of form got out cheaply and we lost

If the pitches were flat,then how come Monty & Swann proved more than handful.After the first test,Dhoni insisted on rank turners to be provided and he got it. To his bad luck, the opposition bowlers exploited the pitch more than his own bowlers.So,it was a complete failure in all the departments.

I agree with Itla. Cook & co played our spinners far better than our so called famed Indian batsmen played Monty & Swann.Aussies of course do not have the quality spinners like Monty & Swann no doubt !

chatur and Great marathi(Great my foot) this is the chaturvidya of aussies that they would play rash shots in first class matches once the real test starts this ohja and ashwin will be hit all over the park. Aussies are more chatur than over indian chatur. Look how aussies women lost to westindies so that they do not have to face england and newzealand in women's world cup final, and once they reach final they demolosihed west indian women. Aussies are quite smart. IDIOTS
