On the Eve of most awaited Test Mach

The Best Sport Coverage From Around The World (Sky Sports)

I'm sure this is the one every cricket fan is waiting for everywhere around the world, irrespective of weather he is an Indian or Australian. This is the grand sporting event.
No doubt, Aussies are the best in the world of cricket. They are unbeatable anywhere in the world. But, Indians are no less match to them. Though it will take an enormous effort on their part, it's not impossible for them to win this series. Anybody would accept that India is just second to Australia in cricket. But, the rankings don't reflect this. Currently they are placed 4th behind the world champions, England and Pakistan. England moved to 2nd spot thanks to their recent summer performance in West Indies and England. They definitely made a strong position. Pakistan has also had recent good times, thanks to their performance at home. But, this is the chance for India to climb to 2nd spot. Just a series win will take them to that position, it doesn't matter by what margin they make it (Source: Cricinfo).
Though Ricky Ponting is not playing the first two matches, the Aussies don't have anything to miss. They are great team. They play as team. But, that's not the same with Indians. They rely on 2 or 3 players to do wonders. They forget that every little wonder by each player in the team count towards the result. This has been repeated often in media. But, the performance on ground remains much to be desired. Though I wish India to win the series, I wouldn't be surprised or loose interest in Indian cricket if they lose to Aussies. Again, my best wishes are with India.
