The third test is over and so is the series

#

With all the brouhaha over India taking on the mighty Aussies at home and all that, I think we missed an important point - the Aussies are much stronger and much more prepared and hungry to win than the Indians.

At the end of day 3 (only!), the Aussies are already 415 runs ahead with only 3 wickets down in the second innings. I suspect they will bat for at least one hour, but more like 90 minutes, and get about 100-125 runs, and give a target of 550 to get.

Not impossible, but with this level of Indian batting confidence and form, I think if the match goes into the 5th day, it will be a surprise.
