You will see the best of the best playing against each other to win tournament.

Actually, tournament started on a high note with Rahul Dravid from India gave Sir Don Bradman oration (first man on earth who is not an Australian), focusing on importance of test matches and the glory of test matches !

Now, back to action, almost all the cricket fans are awaiting for Star Batsmen Sachin Tendulkar from India to score 100th Century in international cricket, and become first batsmen in history achieve this feat, at MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia).

Currently India is positioned at No.2 (siped from No.1 after losing to England in India v/s England Series) in Test ranking & Australia at No.4, and that means you expect something interesting to happen.
