I guess people will now say India don't want to be there.

Where exactly do they want to be?

Playing ODI cricket and nothing else if some of their more gobshite fans on the internet are to be believed.

I don't believe that for one second personally, India's problem is that the backbone of the team are getting on a bit and they're up against a young(ish) Aussie side with a point to prove. On paper, it should be a walkover for India, but they need to start trying to find young talent to come in and replace some of the older members of the team who are starting to find the demands of test cricket too much now.

Toobs, but they didnt want to be here when they were getting thrashed all over the place with every guy and his dog calling in sick. Bet Dhoni would've too if he could've got away with it.

Clarke steps up. Could be on for a triple? Punter shows Tendulkar hows it's done.

Good series so far.

Its amazing how poor travellers sides from the sub continent are even more so when you consider the time a lot would have spent in Australia or England as overseas professionals on the domestic circuit

Laxman has definitely played state cricket as an example

Do you mean he has played for one of the states (Sheffield Shield ) or he has played club cricket in one of the states?

I don't recall him playing Sheffield Shield, but my memory isn't the best.:-D
