So the first test has started in Bangalore, in what is becoming the biggest test series in world cricket. After the first day's play, pretty much an even contest. At stumps the Australians are 4 for 254, with Ricky Ponting scoring 123, Simon Kaitch 66. Matthew Hayden (0) and Michael Clarke (11) were the only ones to fail, with Mike Hussey (46 not out) and Shane Watson yet to score.
Australia did go with Cameron White as the spinner in the team, as he does have more experience (but not just at test level)
