So, the final day of the first test match between India and Australia has already started. With over 80 overs to be bowled, and Australia setting up a target of just 299, can India create history by winning this test match. The last time, India won a test match at Bangalore was in the year 1995 where India won a test match against New Zealand. Do you think India can make it again after 13 years? Ofcourse, the sole resposibilty lies on the shoulders of the four people, Dravid, Laxman, Sachin and Ganguly, but don't you think, equal responsibility lies on the shoulders of the openers and Dhoni as well. Do you really think, Australia has taken the right decision, by putting India to bat with just a target of 299 on the board? Can India win this test match?

Well, to add to the dismay, Gambhir is back in pavillion too, and now its all in the mighty hands of Sachin to carry out his performance throughout the day, with Laxman and Ganguly supporting him equally well. Even if India doesn't win, lets hope, it doesn't lose atleast..

Hello,Vipul! Question of winning the first test against Australia does not arise.Now it is a question to save India from a defeat.The way the Indian players are playing it is difficult to end the match in a draw.Let us plan for the second match.thanx.

Well, i guess you are correct now. Now with Dravid and sehwag already back in pavillion, it has become difficult for India to survive the whole day now. I think, if India can play the whole day, they can win. But its the question of playing the whole day. Isisnt it? Anyway thanks!!
