India won by 320 runs. And there is trouble in paradise, Ricky and Brett fighting. But not to take too much away from the Aussie team, India bowled very very well.

Hi Mick,
Very disappointing series so far, from an Aussie perspective. Well done to the Indians, they played extremely well.
Hate to say it, but its good in some ways to see us getting the rough end of the pineapple, adds a bit of spice, but also means a real test of character for the next match or so.
As one of the commentators said today, its like this match was played on two different wickets! The Aussie bowlers just can't get the Indian ball to do anything, and the batters can't handle what their bowlers manage to do with it. One way of preparing for such a tour may be to use their brand of ball (which has a different stitched seam) before leaving...and work on it, batters and bowlers!! I just hope we can come up with an answer.
There has been a few high points though, with bat and ball, just not from the usual suspects, so it augers well for the future.

Cheers,
