Australia has risen from the grave all the press wrote off the tour as a bad joke and we would get murdered so far the opposite has happened.

Stumps Day 2
Australia 260 and 4/143
India 105

with an overall lead of 298 it looks in the bag for the aussies unless a miracle happens.

All over inside 3 days.
Australia 260 and 285
India 105 and 107

Australia win by 333 runs.

Just a little tip for the indians if you are going to prepare wickets to turn make sure
the opposition don't have a quality spinner Steve O'keefe was brilliant 12 wickets for the match 6 in each innings.

Thats an embarresment.... 105 & 107!?

[halfslip56]

It sure is John especially when Steve Smith scored 109 in the 2nd innings.

Day one second test Australia on top again we seem to have India mentally beaten
Nathan Lyon was absolutely brilliant on a less than spin friendly wicket taking 8/50.

India 189 Lyon 8/50
Australia 0/40 at stumps.

Tough going for Aussies on this wicket stumps day 2
Australia 6/237 48 runs ahead.

[halfslip56]

I'm afraid the Aussies got back to there old ways in the second test after a good start
needing 188 to win in the final innings they were bowled out for 112 now it's even after 2 tests.

Third test day one belonged to australia after a shaky start they ended up 4/299 at stumps
thanks to Steve smiths 19th test century he remains not out on 117 and a very conservative Glen maxwell in his test recall is 82 not out the only worry is the poor form of David warner who went low again overall Australia should press on to a good 1st innings total to put the pressure on India who has it's own problems with captain Virat Kholi having to leave the field after a shoulder injury fielding he didn't return.
