The Third and most crucial test of the series is about to get started. Where both teams have to prove that they are not effected what happened in last 1 week or so. The worse Second test is over and we have to move to the Third Test. the Storm had passed now we have to face the war which is the Third Test. It will not be wrong to say that the Third Test of this series might be Third World war of Cricket where Two big teams of this time will clash. For India it will to fight mental barrier about the Perth Pitch whereas Australia Had to make history of making 17 consecutive wins in test and India is the only team which can stop it.
Perth Pitch is the fastest pitch of the world where all fast bowlers wants to try their skills for sure. For India Perth pitch is the real test as Indian Batting weakest point is the fast bowling, so they will be looking to stay top over this mental burden for sure. But before talkng further about this lets just see what happened in the Second Test. 3rd Test Australia vs India at Sydney Live, Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 Full Highlights .
The Test which would everybody cant forget not for how it played but due to Worse umpiring. It was like that Indian were against Umpires not the Australian Team in the second test. First Test of 2008 started on 2nd Jan morning and it was looking like that India might beat Aussies and their Victory will end at Sydney. It was going all ok but Umpires were in different mood. They gave some crticise decisions on first day and put Australia in the lead. We all thought that it was another bad day for Umpires but it was not like that Umpires were same on next all days and it push the limit on Fifth day. Ganguly and Dravid's giving out proved that Umpires were in Beating India and they did Australia won at last.
Indian team was looking to forget that but Harbhajan's ban really put Indian team and BCCI on fire and India was strongly against umpires plus Harbhajan.s ban. Harbhajan was banned without any solid proof and it showed that all wants India to be down. But BCCI standed with Indian team and stopped the tour till ICC do something on both cases. India in end one the Steve bucknor was out from third test and Harbhajan's ban was also suspended and tour continued. With everything going right Indian team showned that take Cricket first on team and Kumble lifted all charges over Hogg and put a good example of sportmanship. RIcky also realise the fact and told that Tour will go on and we will all see a good and fair matches from now. He was crticse fro the behaviour and he looked quite careful on 14th meeting. And Perth test now on the way.
Now lets talk about the third test. The most Important test of the series where India will get the real fight not from the Australian team but from the pitch. Indian team will have to face the fastest pitch of the world. Brett lee and Shaun tait will love to bowl on such pitches so its tough for Indian team. Looking to the pitch Indian team might make some changes. India are likely to play Irfan Pathan in place of Harbhajan Singh in the third Test against Australia in Perth starting on Wednesday.Looking to yuvraj singh's performance Sehwag's storming hundred against ACT XI made him strong for the third test and will give Dravid to play on his fav. postion after the two tough tests. The Indian skipper is also on the verge of reaching 600 Test wickets when he bowls at the WACA. He s currently on 599 scalps. on the other Habd Australia might also make some changes putting Shaun Tait instead of Brad hogg giving their pace attack more sharpness.
We all waiting for the third test and to see how it will be taken by all. Somefacts about the Perth , The timmings of Perth is almost same to Indian standard so Indian people will be enjoying this test with more fun . So hope all go fine we see a good match after all big setbacks and upsdowns.
