Australia V India from my archives.

 The Australia V India test match at Adelaide oval is in it's second day.
Australia now batting.

This is a repost from 2008.

Not too many still playing now. In fact only Ishant Sharma.

Ishant Sharma was on his first tour of Australia


"Today in Melbourne the famous Boxing day test match started between India and Australia.
It is at an interesting stage at stumps with things much in the balance. Australia will have to score well tomorrow morning with the tail-enders to stay in the game in my opinion.Newcomer Ed Cowan did very well with 68 runs. I hope to get to the Adelaide test match when they play here soon. I was at the Test in Adelaide the last time India played in Australia.
These Grandstands have now been replaced
