Aussie's on the defensive

563 runs in 181 overs. Is it really the Australia cricket team that we are seeing on the field?

In ages, for the first time, I have seen the Aussie's fear a possibility of a defeat and play themselves slowly to a position of strength. At the current position, the Aussie's can attack and go for a win because they have no chance to loose this match from here on, but their approach was quite startling. Unlike the past, where the Aussie's have rarely been pushed into a corner and been made to fight back, this series has seen them fight for their position very often. Their bowlig attack has been blunted a bit by their inability to sledge on the field but they have done enough to prove to the world that their side is still made of champion players who can grind the opposition attack.

I would have loved to see an Indian win at Adelaide, but looking at the current scenario, I really think that the match is heading towards a draw and that would be an unfair result to both the sides. I would like to see either of the two teams win this match because that would be a fitting end to a keenly contested series where-in the Indians, post Melbourne, matched the Aussie's in batting as well as bowling.
