Indian Cricket team in Australia

Since 1947, India has not won a test series in Australia. But this time Dhoni’s men are considered so strong both in bowling and batting which may be able to achieve the feat. With Shewag the most feared opening bat along with some of the others are the real forces to reckon. The likes of Tendulkar, Dravid and VVS Lakshman who all may be playing their last Australia tour are expected to live up to their reputations. India should capitalize the poor performances of Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey. The team management believes our front line pacers Zakeer and Ishant Sharma can fire. The first test starts on Boxing Day at Melbourne.

Kiwis shocked Australia

Fast bowler Doug Bracewell took everyone by surprise by bowling an excellent spell. He sealed the fate on Aussies by taking 6 wickets for just 40 runs. The wickets include present and former captains Clark and Ponting respectively. Of course David Warner the lone warrior hit his maiden century. He also carried his bat to score 123 off 170 balls that included 14 fours.

Ross Taylor the captain of New Zealand is very pleased with his pacer Doug Bracewell who turned the match upside down by removing top three batsman. At a very young age of 21 and only playing his 3rd test match, he did this feat and also squared the series.
