Well well well.......looks like Bichel has finally been exposed in the test arena......

Bracken i dont think is up to test standard. Mac Gill is still a tantrum throwing sook. Brad Williams is also a sook but in a way he has a point as Bracken isnt that good in the test arena yet. Brett Lees pace may be useful as intimidation may be the aussies best weapon.

Glen McGrath and Shane Warne are clearly missed.

India have shown they are going to give a yelp this series and the aussies can thank Perth and its fast pitch as i think this will be the test that gets them the series.

yeh now they will try and justify bichels expense by letting him bowl to the tail enders.
also bryan the wicket he got just b4 might be controversial because it was bowled before the game was meant to have started.

Maybe the Indians are using it as a ploy so Bichel gets retained for the next test ??

JLC - there is no test in Perth - we had the Zimbos test instead.
Chuffed to have seen 3 flag wins in my lifetime but still greedy for more.

Well Australia could be in for a rude shock as India surely will make plenty of runs in Adelaide.

There is normally a bit of rain around boxing day so that test may not get a result.......and a turning scg wicket i would back India over MacGill the sook anyday.

Could be an upset in the making.....

McGrath better be recovering quick or Steve Waugh will be going out on a low note.

I like Hayden because he is entertaining and plays the game in the right spirit.
