the aussies arrived in india for conquering what steve waugh described as the final frontier - no aussie team has won a test series in india since 1969 .... the last time they came here in 2001 - they were knocking on the doorstep in kolkata - but laxman, dravid and harbhajan had other ideas ... and the rest is history - probably the greatest test series of all time ...
the aussies play 4 tests in bangalore, madras, nagpur and mumbai .... they also open the series with the only other first class game - against ranji trophy champions mumbai at the brabourne stadium. hopefully, the series will still be alive coming into wankhede stadium .... my gut feeling says this will be the one for the men of ozz ... ponting's place in history will be clinched (even though he is out for the first test - perhaps gilchrist may take his place in the record books instead) .... all india needs is to not lose the series in order to retain the border-gavaskar trophy ... yet, they dont stand a chance unless they play to win!
if the last two test series between these two are any indication ... its time get ready for a cracker ...
