The First Test - Australia On The Brink!

Australia is on the brink of a massive victory over India in the first test. Dismissed for 227 in their second innings, India went to bat needing 457 runs to win in a little under 5-sessions. Possible in theory, but not on this pitch. India went pear shaped early being 2-7, then 4-19, and went to stumps in front of a rather quie, but large, weekend crowd 6-105. Rahul Dravid was the only resistence remaining 47 not out at stumps, and The Flag will have to turn up Sunday morning for the first what could be 4-five day test matches in the series. And you can't ask for much more than that! Go Australia!
