Let’s look at what we can learn from the two Test matches that have already been played to a conclusion…

India Claim a Historic Lead

India exploded out of the traps to pile pressure on their hosts by winning the 1^st Test Match with plenty to spare. A final score of India win by 31 runs is impressive enough; however, it perhaps disguises the good work put in by the victors who ensured they rarely looked like losing the contest and, instead, dominated play from the opening exchanges. As wide a 31-run victory as you’re likely to see in international Test Match cricket, and both sides knew it too.

That win was only India’s sixth Test cheer in this part of the world, but it came as no real surprise to anyone who had followed the build-up of both teams. Australia was ravaged by in-fighting and on-going problems at boardroom level which resulted in a few high-profile walk outs at Cricket Australia.
