India vs australia cricket schedule 2008







India’s cricket match means full of excitement and pleasure. Now, after India vs. Pakistan full series, fans of Indian team can see their favorite team to play against mighty Australia. This match will start at the end of this year. India team will bound for Australia to play four Tests and a tri-nation match including another South Asian team Sri Lanka. Australia is the world number one cricket team in all forms of cricket. They are dominating the cricket world more than one decade. And they are the only one team who has achieved highest number of trophy in ICC world cup. So, it is said that Australia play different style cricket where other teams need more than hundred years to reach in their place. Australia won the ODI series by 4-2 in Indian soil recently. It was obviously sad news for India team and their fans after being defeated against Australia team in their home ground holding a first time Twenty20 world cup championship. However, India team is now in good form and their main target is taking revenge winning the Test series.

India will play Australia in December-January in four Test matches followed by a triangular one-day series with the host and Sri Lanka. So, India’s match schedule has been reduced because there is no more time to add any extra game.

India will play four Test matches against Australia in Aussies home yard and that should be the real test for the Indian cricket team. Indian team is always a strong opponent in their home ground and they have no experienced about defeat except against Australia. Now, India team will play Test against Australia in their home ground. So, it should be a hard chase for India team to face Australia. Before the start of Test series, India will play a three-days warm up Test match matches against Victoria in Junction Oval, Melbourne. Then India team will start their Test series. First five-day Test match of the fourth matches Test series will start from 26th December, 2007 and it will continue till 28th January 2008. This is another long 75 days tour for Indian team. So, the fans of both sides are now excited ahead of the long series between these two rival teams in the cricket world. After the end of two Test matches, India will play another warm up match against ACT Invitational XI at Manuka Oval, Canberra.

After the end of Test series both teams will play a Twenty20 match. India became the first champion team of Twenty20 world cup 2007. And because of them, Australia could not make a place in final round. That is why, Indian team will be inspired to continue their success in this new format of cricket game. On the other hand, Australia should try their best to win in the Twenty20 match against India.

However, most of you already know that India, host Australia and Sri Lanka will play a triangular one-day series. 12 ODI matches will be held in this series where each teams will get chance to play eight ODI matches against other two teams. Only two teams will be allowed to play three finals. It will continue from February 3 to till March 7, 2008.
