The middle Order
Sachin,Sourav,Laxman,Dhoni -It is very suprising and ridiculous that the media has been consistently criticizing Laxman because he has bee n our sucessful test batsman in the last year.He averages 52 in his last 12 test matches.With Sourav announcing his retirement we can expect him to go as a hero fighting.And now it comes to our master,how many times I have to say this ,he was the difference between the two sides when they met last time.Hope he shows his champion stuffs once again.Much attension will be on Dhoni as he has not produced any significant innings with the bat in test matches for the past one year.How can we expect him to take the test team forward.His performance is crucial for India's future in test cricket....
Clarke,Hussey,Watson,Haddin -Clarke has proved that he can take the Australian side forward in the years to come and his refusal to play in the IPL send strong signals and shows the passion he shows to play in his national colours.He is a great player of spin and the visitors depend on him to deleiver.Mr.Cricket has always been at his best and his commitment levels are unbeleivable.Now the interesting part ..Can Haddin and Watson do or excell the roles of Gilchrist and Symonds respectively.I beleive the latter is going to be the deciding factor of the test series.If he can play well and provide that crucial 60+ runs needed in the middle order and bowl his heart out as he always does,he is going to win the match for Australia.Well for Haddin,only time can answer the question
The Pace Attack
Zaheer khan is the spearhead of the host and his craft in bringing the ball in against the right handers is crucial.Then the man who made a mockery of Ricky pointing seven months ago,if he can do it this time again,the series is in the host's pocket.
Brett Lee is in the tranistion phase of superb and great.It is fitting that his evolution from an Akthar to Mcgrath has come good and is influending their side's sucess.Clarke has his lethal inswingers that can break into the defence of Dravid and Sachin.He comes in and bowls that '2 inches outside off stump' balls time and time and again.Johnson has been the trump cars for the Aussies breaking into the side at a young age and showing a lot of temperamant
The Spin attack
It is a pity that the mighty Aussies cannot produce a replacement for Warne and it describes the class of the champion bowler.It will be entralling to see how Harbhajan bowls to pointing and Hayden.Kumble as humble and hardworking as ever will like to add to his tally of wickets and would like to surpass warne when he retires.Cameroon white has to lead the spin attack for the visitors and never underestimate him,alas he is another australian.
Wars within the battle
Brett Lee Vs Sachin
Pointing Vs Harbhajan
Poinitng Vs Ishant
S.Clarke Vs Dravid
