It's just that when he's playing cricket he becomes extremely gung ho - something that's praised when it comes to Australian cricketers.

Don't discount that India made 400 in the second innings in Sydney. They did find some form and that will carry for them. They have had success there before and i would not discount a big effort. Also loosing Pattinson will have an effect. Our attack will be different and we will see how the balance goes for them.

None the less we must be favorite to win, it will take a big effort with the bat again and this time from the young ones. You cannot expect the same people to do it all the time.

I hope it is a close contest too however India have been less than inspiring so far.....I have been impressed by the crowd behaviour though and hope the Perth crowd treats the Indians with the respect they deserve....Sachin is due for a big score but Perth will be a hard task for the Indian batsmen on what is a green top by all accounts.....Go Aussies!!!

It's taken a while. India can't get past their ageing batsmen, not in this season anyway. I'd be particularly happy if it's a close contest though.

I agree Chook although I would not write off the Indian batsmen just yet.....I saw an Indian chap on YouTube call Tendulkar a Demigod during an interview......He was promptly admonished by his fellow commentator for his ridiculous comment.....Tendulkar is a God he bellowed not a Demigod....How do you defeat a God???

LOL....The Aussie pace attack must be the horsemen of the apocalypse then!!!
