Should be another great series. Someone rung Radio Sport last night and said that Sky had said to him that if enough people email and complain they may show it. So cricket fans get your emails to sky going!

Should be a cracker of a series after the excellent one last year. I reckon India will win this one closely.

Yeah i can't see it being that close. Aussie don't have a spinner and Ponting has struggled against India

UNCAPPED spinners Jason Krejza and Cameron White face a nervous wait with only one of them expected to make their Test debut against India in Bangalore on Thursday.

White is a vastly more experienced campaigner but only bowled 84 overs in first-class cricket for Victoria last summer, taking six wickets at 47.

Krejza's recent numbers don't stack up too kindly either.

The right-arm off-spinner was belted for 0-199 off 31 overs in the recent tour match against the Indian Board President's XI in Hyderabad.

Shane Watson is set to play his first Test in nearly three years, his last outing in the baggy green coming in November 2005.

Simon Katich has kept his spot at the top of the order with Phil Jaques making way for the return of Matthew Hayden.

 

Probable Line-up

 

Matthew Hayden,

Simon Katich,

Ricky Ponting (capt),

Michael Clarke (v-capt),

Mike Hussey,

Shane Watson,

Brad Haddin,

Cameron White,

Brett Lee,

Mitchell Johnson,

Stuart Clark,

Jason Krejza. (12th man)

What happened to Nathan Hauritz? I thought he might have been a better option then White.

So Aus made 430 with centuries to Ponting and Hussey, then India made 360 with fifties to Singh, Khan and Dravid. Aus is 9/0 off 6. India for a time looked like they may have to follow-on but those innings' from Khan and Singh saved them. I'm just going off Cricinfo but this ones heading for a draw I think. Lunch Day 4.

26-1 after 13
 
12.2 Khan to Hayden, OUT, leg before! Zaheer gets his sixth wicket of this Test with a lovely late-swinging full delivery that catches Hayden in his crease, attempting to work the ball from across his pads, bat is late to come down and the late drift in from Zaheer seals his fate for 13 .. no doubts about that one ML Hayden lbw b Khan 13 (40b 1x4 0x6) SR: 32.50

51/2, Ponting out for 17. Hussey 2*, Katich 9 off 68!
 
Anyone want to explain this:
 
24.3 Sharma to Hussey, no run 24.2 Sharma to Hussey, no run, fuller than good length, straightening up a bit, and played by Hussey in front of off stump Kumble can start bowling at 3:32pm local 24.1 Sharma to Hussey, no run, starts wide, and moves away with the angle, Dhoni collects it on second bounce

Yeah he was off the pitch for a certain amount of time and can't bowl until he has completed a certain amount of time back on the pitch.

Three for me, and two for them.
