India Vs Australia 1st Test Live Streaming Cricket

Ind Vs Aus 1st Test Live

Update - Aus wins by 122 runs


ESPN STAR provides India Vs Australia live streaming as it is not possible for viewers to be in front of television sets all the time. Live cricket online streaming always stays as a good substitute for online viewers. Let us have a look at how the stage is set up for the Boxing Day test match. This would be the 1st test match of this series.


Australia in a turmoil of transition leaves behind an opening for India to win their first ever test series in India. This is India's 10th test series down under and they are yet to win one. No can now deny that India vs Australia series is now as luring as the Ashes and as crowd pulling as an India Vs Pakistan cricket series.


With the likes of greats such as Sachin, Dravid or Laxman who might be playing their last ever test series in Australia; Indian team certainly serves a dream of winning a test series down under. And their efforts towards this cause should begin right from the 1st test at MCG. Consistency is the key for India this time because most of them are already in good form.


Eyes would be on Sachin who may score his 100th international ton this time. At the same time eyes would also be set on another prolific batsman Ricky Ponting who has faced a lot of criticism for his lost form recently. If he gathers good amount of runs then he may prolong his international career or we may see a great cricketer excluded from the squad very soon. 


Indian batting relies a lot on good starts from Sehwag and Gambhir. Middle order looks firm with Sachin, Dravid and Laxman. Lower middle order will have Dhoni and Kohli/Sharma. Bowling department looks a bit worrying with injury to Ishant. Zaheer can be the most dangerous bowler in this series if he can generate some swing with his pace. Spinners like Ashwin and Ojha may shine if the pitch provides some turn alongwith the bounce which is an added advantage for spinners.


MS Dhoni has accumulated a lot of feathers to his cap. He would be itching to get a win here at MCG. Bouncy tracks in Australia can be a worrying factor for India but we can't write off the fact that last two test wins for India down under came on fastest of the pitches.
