The test match is evenly balance with india with a slim lead of 4 runs after day 2.
Lyon did well with a 5 wickets.
But I still think Australia will be white wash.
But Australia got some agession back in them.
It seems the team was willing to play under watson.
Time will tell what cricket Australia will do with the current team management.
The 3rd day will be interested.
If India can get 50 runs lead then Australia will be in a bit of trouble to save the match.
Please tell me what you think guys.
Looking forward to hearing your views.

This is a kind of pitch where its very difficult to do well at the start, but once you get in you can make runs.Both teams are aggressive and with some inexperienced players. Hence we saw poor application and wrong selection of shots from both sides.I think batsman from both sides will play with better application in second innings.This surely will be a close contest , so a lead of even 30-40 runs will be good for India as they have three spinners.Australia missed the trick by not including Doherty,however still i think Australia are ahead for now as India have just 4 runs lead and they have to bat last on this tricky pitch.

Yes pitch will play a part, with three spinners on a spinning pitch like this India should look to dismiss Australia cheaply.Target of 150-200 too can be tricky on this track.

Yea, but India have batsmen who play spin better while Australia batsmen can not.
Clarke is the only one who can play spin well.
I do not think Australia will bat well the second time round.
Most test matches batsmen tend to bat worse than the 1st innigs.
Still backing India, I know the pitch will play a part.

The last two batsman should try to take India lead upto 25 runs and that can prove vital for team India. But I think Australia has a chance to win this match. India have to bat fourth and the pitch has already started playing tricks. The target of 170 is going to be very challenging and India have to bowl well in order to restrict Australia within less than 150.
