Can India take revenge???

the australian team has arrived in India for a 4 test series - a series which promises to be more intense then ashes or india-pak series. this is bcoz India has emerged as a real threat to aussie domination in cricket. Steve Waugh cudnt conquer his final frontier, India ran close the aussies in der last tour down under, a series which aussies won after much controversy and thru questionable means.

this time around the focus will be mainly on the indian senior batting line-up and the inexperienced aussie spinners. unarguably dis is the weakest aussie bowling line-up in recent times. no McGrath, no Warne means a lot and the whole onus will be on Brett Lee. but the real test will be of the rookie spinners Krejza and McGain. also the symonds affair will have its impact.

India also has its own set of problems. der is too much controversy over the seniors. i dont know how can u question the talent, dedication or temperament of Sachin, Dravid, Laxman or Ganguly. i agree tht youngsters shud be given chance and slowly these seniors shud be phased out but atleast give dem a chance to retire gracefully or if u r dropping dem atleast have guts to call it straight dat dey r dropped bcoz of age. the seniors just had one bad series in Sri Lanka where even youngsters failed. so is it justified to drop Ganguly from test team (if he is dropped) who had a decent aussie tour. agreed Dhoni is doing gr8 as captain but he had support of Sachin in australia. so he cant say dat he is winning with a fully young team. and he is learning the finer nuanches of captaincy by being the understudy of Kumble,the dependable captain of the test team.

let us see if India is able to solve dese controversies and take revenge for the last aussie trip and trip down under or if Ponting will motivate his young and inexperienced squad (a rare sight) to put behind symmo affair and re-conquer the final frontier. watever be the case one can really hope dis series to be truly exciting in line wid the past few series between dese two cricketing giants.

COME ON JUMBO!!KARDO AUSSIE KI TAISI!!!
