Don?t expect sporting track
I have been reading reports that Aussies are pleased with the grass they have noticed on the wicket. I have one piece of advice for them ? forget about it, the grass will not be live, writes Kris Srikkanth.
When the going gets tough, the Australians get going.
We have seen that happening often over the last 6-7 years and we saw it again in Chennai where they managed to dig themselves out of a deep hole.
It is this fighting ability that has seen Australia rule the cricketing world for quite a while now.
The Indians, on the other hand, are not known to put up too many fighting displays. However, they do seem to reserve their best for the Australians and the now frequent series between the two teams have thus gained fame and attracted the attention of connoisseurs.
Nagpur though will be a big, big ask for the Indian team, with the pressure squarely on them.
They will be well aware that they lost a great opportunity to level the series in Chennai. As skipper Ganguly rightly keeps pointing out, there's no such thing as a moral victory.
On the contrary, I dare say that its the Australians who will feel they got more out of the second Test and will thus be in a better frame of mind.
They have also been provided with adequate rest between the second and third Tests.
