let the game begin

The most anticipated India versus Aussie will began from tomorrow in which there will be 4 test matches over a period of 1 month. It should be a great series with young players on both sides which makes for a great viewing. The Indian team comprises of experienced players like tendulkar, Sehwag, Dhoni and some young players who are not able to get a per meant place in the time but the bowling is great worry for the hosts in which Bhuvi who has done well in the shorter form of cricket, Ishant and spinners which include Harbhajan who is making a comeback in the team, Ojha and Ashwin.It should be a great series if the big players can come up with great performance. The aussies has a good pace bowling attack and no good spinner but beware of Warner. So lets see who come on top and takes the border-gavaskar trophy. Dhoni place is in danger after losing the test series against the England team. Hope for a brilliant and grossing battle between two of these rivalries    

can team india beat the aussies side in forthcoming test series

India who lost the home series against the England team 2-1. The indian team which has been selected for the first two test matches has seen shikhar dhwan for Gautuam Gambhir and the new youngster did a wonderful job in short form of cricket has been selected. The selection committee has persisted with Rahane and Jadeja. It has also seen the comeback of Harbhajan Singh because of great record against the Aussies. I think the Indian team must select two spinners in the playing 11 and two fast bowlers. The onus is on the batsman to score big runs and put pressure on the Aussies which has young side. Two experienced batsman of aussies team are watson and Clarke. India can beat the aussies 4-0 if they bowl well and bat very postively. The aussies has a good bowling line up consisting of Johnson, Pattison, Bird, Starc and the two inexperienced sipn bowlers comprising of Lyon and Doherty . The result depend on the pitches that will used for the test series which begans on the 22nd feburar...
