OZ’s after their defeat at Mohali will look to bounce back in Bengaluru. Ponting with his unfulfilled desire to win a test series in India, will gear up his team to the crucial match starting this weekend. India will be missing the services of Ishant and Gambhir. Will India play Laxman? Who replaces Ishant? No wonder.. Mahi has grey hairs already.. He takes all these pressures.

abhinav mukund and jaydev unadkat hav been named as replacements for gambhir and ishant….. i think laxman will play….. ohhh wat a thrilling innings he played at mohali…... as one of the tweets rightly said: when laxman retires , it will be a national holiday in autralia….

I think Sreeshanth,vijay will play instead of ishanth,gambir.
If laxman is unfit, pujara will get a chance to make his debute.
Banglore pitch normally provides some bounce for faster bowlers.
AUS will look to exploit those conditions.

Bangalore wicket has never been that friendly for the Indians.Murali Vijay and Santhakumaran Sreesanth will be playing.If laxman is unfit it will be Chateshwar Pujara.I might fancy trying Mukund ahead of Vijay.As Vijay finds these steaming and bouncy wickets little difficult and Mukund plays these short stuffs with ease.

i prefer murali only cos he’s played some fine innings during his innings…....mukund is a gr8 player but i mean he’s just come to the squad and no time for chnces so vijay and then sreesanth should do a gud job ......hope laxman plays but with an injury dunno if he’d be taken as getting a runner would be tough too .....pujara looked gud in the bpxi match so might play well too .........gr8 squad we got really

Oz’s will Bollinger in the second test. Seems to be a slow pitch. Team India has taken Anil Sir’s advice on the pitch. With the rains pouring during the last few evenings, expect some delays in the start of first sessions. Hope rain stays away and Indian team thrash Oz’s to win the series.
