Cricket has been through fire and brimstone in the aftermath of the second Test in Sydney, which was filled with controversy. Anil Kumble accused the Australians of not playing in the spirit of the game; the Australians said Harbhajan Singh racially abused Andrew Symonds; the Indians in turn charged Brag Hogg for using offensive language and somewhere in the midst of all that, the ICC removed Steve Bucknor from officiating in the third Test.
But the score line reads 2-0 in Australia's favour ahead of the third Test in Perth, one that India must win in order to keep their hopes of drawing the series alive. The pitch at the WACA is expected to be fast and bouncy, and will suit the Australian pace attack which is likely to be strengthened by Shaun Tait. India have to ponder over two spots in their batting order; Wasim Jaffer hasn't been able to cope against the new ball, while Yuvraj Singh has been clueless against Brad Hogg.
