India Win's by 303 runs

[graphic23]

If AUS bat first, 802/3 dec Ind 80 a.o. & 35 a.o. If IND bat first, 95 a.o. AUS 662/5 dec IND 44 a.o.

Stop being so optimistic. Geez. I doubt we'll last even 1 session on that track.

[King]

I'm fairly divided in my views. My heart says India will win this one but the past records show Aussies can still do well. That said India are in a better situation than Aussies and Aussies are never known to make terrific come backs after losing the first couple. Either they close the opponents very early in the series or just cannot fight it out. I'll go with India for this one. India if bats first will get over 400 runs and Aussies will score 280+ in the first dig and follow it up with about 370+ in the second. India will chase about 140+ with about 4 wickets down. I feel very strongly India is going to take this one too. I often don't feel this confident some reason. I guess India's ability over the last few season has changed my belief in them.

First part of my prediction came true. The second part will come true by the end of day 4.

[Donny]

INDIA WIN If bat first We will get 625. Sehwag 150, Donny does not post for a month in shame!

Sehwag 150. Closest you've been to being right in ages, deesy. :regular_smile:

[Donny]

Getting closer. You only missed the SRT score by 142. :regular_smile:

[King Tendulkar]

Ah the great Donny sense of humour comes to the forefront. Where you jokes funny in the 1940s? I predict a Gambhir ton and the aussies to chase leather day 1:hysterical: Why don't you bring on your great spinner white for another spell:haha:

It was a typo Chameli. I meant Gambhir :finger:

[King Tendulkar]

Predictions for day 2 530 all out Gambhir 185 Dhoni 90 Ganguly 70 Aussies 35-2 Hayden clean bowled by Khan trying to slog him for 6. Kaitich out to Kumble with brilliant bat pad catch by Gambhir who gives him the mother of all send offs and so gets a 80% match fee fine

[Ram]

India 520 A.O. Australia 71/2.

[sm332]

India - 443 AO Australia - 57/1

[Fontaine]

The current partnership is the key. To credit Australia their fast bowlers have bounced back well with Lee bowling a lot better with more control and Johnson and Clark really bowling to a plan very well with nagging accuracy. Still, the pitch is very good for batting and apart from a little reverse swing from Lee and some uneven bounce it looks excellent for the batsmen. Laxman and Gambhir have to persist because Australia look a completely different team at the moment when the spinners are on. Neither Gambhir nor Laxman look to be in any trouble against the spin and this is where the runs have to be plundered. Ganguly and Dhoni are to come in later so you expect India to reach the 500 mark considering how flat the pitch is, the form Gambhir is in and how well the tail has been batting. One good sign for the Indian bowlers is the reverse swing on offer. If they can continue to use it like they did in the series so far Australia could be in a very tricky passage of play where their openers and Ponting are going to be all important. If India can get two of these three out quickly enough then the match is in the bag considering the rest of the batsmen excluding Hussey haven't impressed at all.

[Dravid]

i am afraid, dhobi is done for the series.. dada will get 50.. we get around 500

[WeStMiDz]

India 390 all out, Australia 121-4...

[Ram]

I would love us to pile on 600+ batting first and I dont think its that impossible. We've have TWO well set batsman at the crease. Gambhir will be determined to score a double. VVS isnt the sort of player who will get out in 60s and 70s, once he's settled. You can back him to hold one end up, even if Gambhir falls early. And two of our most prolific scorers from last test, Ganguly and Dhoni, havent come to bat yet. A lot will depend on the first session tomorrow.

India 520 AO aussies 69-2

[coffee_rules]

461 a.o Aus - 71/1

[Fontaine]

Well the ball is still new as it's only seen one over so these two batsmen HAVE to see off the new ball first and foremost because I'm not confident of either Dhoni or Ganguly managing the new ball with the much improved Australian bowling. Ganguly and specifically Dhoni should ideally come in until after lunch so that they can grind down the Australians out on the field and when the Aussies do come into bat they'll do so with heavy feet and tired minds. Hayden the old man that he is will definitely be more vulnerable after having to bat when he's fielded all day to a fresh pair of new ball bowlers!! I can't wait to see what the Indian bowlers can do on this surface with Lee getting some reverse swing and Katich already getting some turn!!!
