Cricket test series VS India

India did pretty well yesterday to end the Aussies streak of 16 tests in a row. Had it not been for a few dodgy decisions in Sydney, this series could well have been in the balance going into the last test in Adelaide. Hopefully the 20/20 game and the one dayers will still go ahead, with the hearing for Harbhajan Singh to be heard after the Adelaide test.

Yeah they did ok. It still cost them over 100 runs just to bowl out our lower order!

Yeah that was kinda entertaining to watch. Our top order however looked pretty fragile, seems like they cannot handle swing bowling.

If it werent for the first innings collapse by our top order, things probably would have been different. But full credit goes to india, who played well in the entire test.

finally, they can finally learn how to lose. When they continously won every test match, it pissed me off :(

Australia's top order need to learn how to face quality spin. Ponting has no idea how to face harbhajan singhs off-spin, he needs to do some serious work because he hasn't been playing this bad in years!

It's because Habhajan is in no way like any of the Australian off spin bowlers. He hits Ponting with a whole new style than he is used to at training and even other matches.

Habhajan needs to pull his head in and just get on with the game. He is good for cricket because he is unique and a very smart bowler at times.

Your right, he is an exciting player to watch and all the controversy surrounding him isn't good for his game and for cricket in general!

I'd be more concerned about their apparent struggle against swing bowling, which was evident in this test as well as in the 2005 ashes series against england.

Give him some time.
If all goes well he should be in some good form in no time.
