Well it is nice to know that for once in the last 5 years a team is going into a test series against us actually harbouring thoughts and notions of winning. I think it makes a refreshing change actually. Personally I think this series is probably headed for a draw - I think the Indians will BLEEd in Melbourne, and Syderney will in all probability be a draw, which would still be one hell of a great result for the Indians.

We are a different side without the dominating presence of McGrath, Warne and Lee - those guys will be back in 2004.
