It's been great to catch some of the highlights of these games on our Pay TV here in Australia. :)
As for the final test match, India have started very well on the opening day after Sourav Ganguly won the toss and elected to field. Check out the live scores by clicking on the below link.

Finally, Rahul Dravid has come through for India after pathetic performances in the previous tests. Maybe the burden of being the captain was too much for him. Let's see if India can now capitalize on the upper hand they've gained so far.

Wow! Pakistan is in serious danger of losing the test series to India at home. It remains to be seen if Inzamam or someone else can save them for the second time, or at least to salvage a draw. It seems to be a very tall order. Time management, saving wickets, and accumulating runs at the same time is pretty hard to do on a wicket that can help bowlers.
Great job Rahul Dravid. A very patient 270, and a completely different approach than Sehwag's. But can be helpful for winning the test series for his country!

Haha, lunchtime and only 3 more Pakistan wickets left to go. I'm going to sleep now. But by the time I wake up, I expect India to have clinched a historic test series victory. Winning a one-day series AND a test series in Pakistan, man who would have predicted this? What an unbelievable 1 month it has been! :)

Well, I lied. It's 2:12 AM here in California, and I stayed up for one of the most historic series winning performance by India. Need to catch some sleep now.

Cue wild and massive celebrations. I wonder who the Pakistani posters on BigSoccer are. :D
Great win by India. Now to invade Oz again.

It sounds like Pakistan authorities are pissed off in a major way at Shoaib Akhtar, and his future with the team is very unsure. I think he was trying to make a "pissed off" statement himself by the way he batted yesterday. (Came on and started swinging wildly from the first ball, hitting 2 huge sixes, and 4 boundaries, but falling predictably on a wild swing). Of course, batting is not the reason he was selected. What they're angry about is his childish, selfish, and almost idiotic obsession with bowling speed, with no regard to the bigger picture.
