5 thoughts on 1st Test - Aus Vs India

1. Awesome Pitch! I love a fast bowlers pitch where boundaries are valuable. I also love the little spats between fast bowlers (Zaheer and Pattinson)

2. The bowlers did tremendously well for both teams. Yadav is looking like the new spearhead

3. Hussey is still the king

4. The Indian batting is brittle. In the second innings R. Ashwin (30) scored only 2 runs less than the highest scorer of the innings - Tendulkar (32)

5. Knowing Dhoni, he will go into the next match with the same team assuming they all stay fit. Heads are unlikely to roll.

I would love to see VVS Laxman replaced with Rohit Sharma considering VVS's recent form on foreign tours. I know a lot of you will disagree but I think VVS is overrated even against Australia.

Laxman's average in 2011 in Tests played Away - 29.5 Laxman's average in 2011 in Tests played Away (excluding West Indies) - 22.9

My prediction for this series is a whitewash - Sorry I know you guys hate it when I jinx shit but that is the reality of the current Indian team.

I hope it gets competitive but I don't really see a change in attitude or form between the side that toured England and this one.

They still hang their bats outside off stump and they still run slower than Boycott's granny
