Everything to Play for




India's Long tour down under in Australia is about to get over in a week(at the max), and this tour has certainly given the world of cricket a rivarly to binge on. Move over Australia& England, no its not even the Sub Continent Rivalry between India and the Paki's, its Australia v/s India. The last 2 months, the world has witnessed some wonderful skills displayed by both sides on the field and off the field as well(cant forget!!!). As the Tour reaches its penultimate stage at Gabba, its gonna be a cracker of a contest. India would look to close things down here @ Gabba, which is also the homeground of 2 Australian Cricketers, who India Loves to Hate: Matthew "Giant" Hayden and Andrew "Roy" Symonds. It would be a perfect end from an Indian perspective to seal the series here and give a befitting reply to the "world champs".



While the australians are the wounded tigers(or is it kangaroos), they will come back mighty hard and would like to Extend the career of Adam "Church" Gilchrist-The nicest man in the game, by one more match. To their Advantage, Indians might not field the Find of the series-Ishant Sharma tommorrow (coz of his finger injury), they will try and capitalise on this front and prove a point to the world that they are still better than the others( Note: I have chosen "better" and not "Best").

Things havent been going the Australian way this summer, and Punters are losing their trust on Punter, its going to be a true test of character for him and his team.

A win for Australia would allow them to hold on to their title of "world champs" for some more time; A contrary Result would throw the title open and up for grabs.

Whatever the case may be, Excellent Cricket is guranteed.
