Personally, have been looking forward to this series for a while now. The last time Aus were in India they lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 0-2, but things have changed since. The possibilities that lie in Lee/Johnson against Tendulkar/Sehwag, Ishanth Sharma being given one last go before he probably gets what looks like the Irfan treatment and so much more must make this the most anticipated event since the Ashes earlier this year. Not sure if Holland who’s in the Victoria side playing CL 2009, will get a game, but Steven Smith, the NSW bowler would have been an exciting proposition had he been in the squad.
