The preparation for the final test match between India and Australia is at final stages. The most interesting thing is whether Harbhajan Sing and Tait will be included in India and Australin squad.
The Adelaid wicket may help spinners. This game will be of nerves as India is determined to level the series while Australia is looking for 3-1 win. According to the reports the Indian players have some rift which the vice captain Dhoni denied. The rift came when Ganguly and dravid were dropped from the Indian one dayer squad by the Indian selectors.
India captain Anil Kumble has revealed that the squad for the One-Day tri-series in Australia should not have been announced in the middle of the Test series, saying it’s tough on the axed seniors.
So far, Kumble had refrained from commenting on the ODI teams’s selection and particularly the exclusion of Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
He said the timing of the announcement was far from ideal. But he hoped the senior players would shrug off the disappointment and stay focussed on the Test.
Anil Kumble also spoke of the One-Day team that was picked for the tri-series a few days ago, saying it was time to move on with the game.
“I think the team members will be disappointed for not being a part of the on the One-Day squad, but if you look at the team and the squad who don’t make it, they have played enough cricket to understand that this match is crucial, not just for us, but for Indian cricket. So, if you have to stay in this series then it’s important that we put up our best possible effort,” Kumble said on the eve of the fourth and final Test at the Adelaide Oval.
