oh dear oh dear.no matter how bad it looks its still not as bad as the MCG and even then the aussies blew the crappy indians away. : : : : .i dont like india very much but thats not hard to see.but i like them more than pak cos they suck. (2-1 to England : ).
back to the subject i still think that india are only just scraping it. if you look at the card theres only 2 batsmen to come and if any of the aussie bowlers strike in the first session (with 2 wickets) its beggining to look rather dull for the indians.
presonally i just dont think the indians scored quickly enough.there batsmen are going to have to play themselves in again against a newish ball so thats going to be tricky.
On the other hand the indians, if they can survive the first session without exposing the tail, have the ideal platform to kick off and score at 4/5 an over and try to bat the aussies out of the way.
But for my money tendlukar is the key. He hasnt scored any rns in the seris and as what usually happens with top class batsmen (I.E Brett Lee....joke.or is it
) they tend to kick off just wen you dont want them to.
in the end im going to vote for aus at this stage, if the last test is anything to go by, to knock over the indians within the first 2 sessions and probobly (at the latest) bat before tea.The aussies are goung to have to achive this if last years SCG test is anything to go by.

India can win this match if they dont lose momentum, like they did at the MCG.

Indian batsmen are doing a great job. They should continue their performence in the next session, and this test will be all India's!

The way the match is going, I think the series will end 1-1. that is if india plays just as well in the second innings and does a bad job in the field. If Murali Karthik and kumble dont perform, its gonna be a draw. Hope the bowlers dont let the batsmen down!
