The most interesting aspect of this test series is the inclusion of two debutant spinners for the Australian Cricket side. There will be no doubt that the conditions in India will suit spin and India clearly have the edge in this department. First innings runs for the Aussies will be crucial because batting will become increasingly difficult for them as the game goes on.
The opening bowlers for the Aussies, one of whom will be Brett Lee, will be crucial to making inroads into a strong Indian batting line up. VVS Laxman batting at six looks extremely strong to me and I think the Aussies will have their work cut out.
This is a big series for both teams, Indian coach Gary Kirsten will be feeling the heat a little with the huge expectations that come with his job. The Aussies however have had there own issues recently and will look to answers a few critics out on the pitch. The return of Ricky Ponting will be a huge plus he is, in my opinion, the best batsman in the world.
