Pretty decent start from Aus but the biggest thing in India is taking 20 wickets. Will they do this with 1 recognised spinner? I know Warner and Clarke can bowl a few but still it took england a test to figure out that two frontline spinners is a must!
Indian spinners not that good either !!! Harbhahjan is not what he used to be and Jadeja is more or less a part time spinner chips in a bit and we all know how ineffective Ashwin is from the recent series.

Why on earth have the picked Singh over Ojia, he's been done for years!

100th test and his record against Aus was pretty decent, has looked a shade of himself for a few years now tho. Agree that Ojha is a far better bowler now.

That was a silly decision based on fact that harbajan and the Aussies don't get on and he has good stats against them.
As an Aussie I'm not exactly complaining. He has leaked runs all day.

Another great ton by Clarke! He is in unbelievable form.
Wonderful captains knock.

He is a classy run machine and proof that this Indian attack is still very average. Clarke is once again the key with the bat for the Aussies.

Please swap for Bell.. He looks really good so you're not losing out on that. He's supposed to be a good player of spin. So all your really losing is actual regular runs.. Not a big deal really :) He'd fit in nicely with your current top 4! Might make Bell look good!

I wouldn't say it's proof considering he averaged 144 against SA in the last series and they certainly aren't average. You make it sound like he can only score runs against average bowlers which I am sure you never meant it like that.

In saying that the bowling attack is below par.

I'd say he would be up the next to Amla as the no1 batsman in the world at the moment

Clarkes the main man currently in world cricket. Just look at him over the last 12 months. Amla is the best 3 in the world though.

Shouldn't he be batting higher than 5 though? Your best batsmen should be 3 or 4 in a side? While it's difficult to argue with is recent average, as captain he should shoulder more responsibility, especially given the relative inexperience in the current top 3.
