India Vs New South Wales - Tour Match
India arrive at the SCG for their first look at Australian conditions in 2 years as they take on New South Wales in the first of 4 tour matches before the 3 test series against Australia begins.
In an interesting move, Sachin Tendulkar has been promoted to number 3 while Rahul Dravid drops to 4. V.V.S Laxman is rested for the first game as India go in with 5 bowlers, including both spinners Kumble and Singh.
The wicket prepared by the SCG staff is green and has alot of grass coverage. This may prove a headache for the usual spin friendly Indians, however will provide valuable experience ahead of the tests.
The New South Wales field a team depleted team lacking international players McGrath, Clarke, Katich and Lee.

Tendulkar Falls Short As India Pile On Runs - India 10/327
Sachin Tendulkar entertained the Sydney crowd with a stylish 96 as India piled on 327 runs on the 2nd day of the tour match.
It was a worthwile batting practice for the tourists with Rahul Dravid (52), Sourav Ganguly (46) and Virender Sehwag (39) all getting amongst the runs. However it was Tendulkar who stole the limelight as he powered to 96 from 193 balls before he was caught by Michael Phelps off the bowling of Stuart Clark.
(Sachin Tendulkar produced many of his favourite shots on his way to 96)
It was Clark who was most impressive with the ball, taking 3/87 to keep the tourists under 400 runs.

(Zaheer Khan took 6 wickets to bury the NSW lineup)
Captain Rahul Dravid appeared pleased with the result.
"Games like these are great for the confidence. I know a lot of the guys were starting to hit the ball in the middle and the bowlers were nicely in their rhythm which is a real positive. Im personally happy that we played on a green-top as it will give us an indication on things to work on to be successful this summer."

NSW Captain Brad Haddin appeared optomistic about the result:
"Well we probably would have liked to have performed a little bit better but these matches really allow the younger guys a chance to gain some experience against top players. It was really good to see some of the guys like Phil Jacques and Ed Cowan step up against a strong pace attack and still makes starts. We will take a lot from this game"
