The fourth test in Adelaide present a perfect opportunity for the Indian cricket team to register an astounding comeback and draw what has arguably been the finest cricket test series since the Ashes two years back. India come into this match on the back of an excellent hard fought victory over the mighty Australians at the WACA and will be looking to add gloss to an excellent trip so far with a victory at the Adelaide Oval next week.

With all the talk of young stars rising up for India, it has been the veterans of Indian cricket who have done the damage this series.VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid stood up when it counted the most in Perth and will be hoping for a repeat performance when the final test commences on the 24th of this month. The Indian team is expected to retain the same line up that negotiated Australia so brilliantly last time around. However, rumours have been circulating about a possible comeback for Dinesh Karthik or Yuvraj Singh into the line up in the place of Wasim Jaffer, who has been in dismal form all tour. Irfan Pathan is expected to hold onto his all rounder's berth after putting in a match winning display against the Australians in Adelaide where he scored over 80 runs and picked up five wickets in the match. Ishant Sharma will mostly likely partner RP Singh in attack while Harbhajan Singh will be in all probability be unutilized for this clash.

Ricky Pointing and his troops were so close to breaking Steve Waugh's record of sixteen consecutive test wins on a trot against India last time. However, like Steve Waugh before him Pointing's run was brought to a halt by a very impressive and determined Indian think tank. Despite that loss, it is point worthy to note that Australia still hold a 2-1 lead in the series and will retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy irrespective of the happenings at the Adelaide Oval. Australia erred in not including spinner Brad Hogg in last test match when Michael Clarke and Andrew Symonds were tonked all round the ground by the Indian middle order and with Stuart McGill still injured, Brad Hogg is expected to slot straight back into the Australian test set up. Ricky Pointing saw his 100% home record broken against the Indian cricket team last match and he will be fuming for revenge when the fourth test match starts next Wednesday.
