Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 11am AEDT (00.00 GMT)
Welcome to the first day's play of this all important Test match
between Australia and India
With the series tied at one apiece, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy,
currently held by the visitors, is up for grabs in this fourth and
deciding rubber
We've been informed that Australia have made one change to their
line-up from the third Test; Jason Gillespie returns from injury
and Brad Williams will make way and take up 12th man duties
No final word on the Indian eleven as yet, but Zaheer Khan will
miss the match with injury and fellow left arm quick Ashish Nehra
is also expected to miss with injury. Irfan Pathan and Murali
Kartik expected to be their replacements.
The two captains come walking out to warm applause for the toss
Ganguly has called correctly
And India will be batting first
Those two changes for India announced earlier, Pathan and Kartik
for Nehra and Khan have now been confirmed
Balaji is the 12th man
A nice, clear and sunny day in Sydney. The pitch looks an excellent
one for batting
