My 2'bob's' worth.
Congratulations to the three triple digit score makers. Its been a long time since Australia has done that.
I doubt whether Tendulka will make that 100th century against Australia.
He is not the young Maestro he used to be and facing the rejuvenated pace attack, the Aussies have, it is a major task.
Sachin Tendulka was playing test cricket a year before James Pattinson opened his eyes to this world. ST held up his bat to his first test century before JP could hold his first bottle.
The Aussie bowling attack has lifted the confidence of the team. They have a real swagger on the ground. While the Indians are chasing dignity, they are teetering. Once ST loses his wicket the rest of the team will capitulate. Not as bad as a total "throw in the towel" though.
The condition of the wicket is too good and India will score around the 350-400.
Time will tell how wrong I will be. ( "wrong" maybe is not the appropriate word. It is an absolute term and not subject to gradation.
)
Cheers
