India vs Australia: Another cracker on cards

Match Facts
Saturday, October 9, Bangalore
Start time 9:30 am (0400 GMT)

Can India and Australia produce an encore? Is it even possible to match the high of that first Test? Both teams will miss key men involved in the drama at high noon in Mohali: Ishant Sharma has already been ruled out, and Doug Bollinger and VVS Laxman are not certain starters. India have other worries too: Gautam Gambhir was injured in the first Test and isn't available for selection. But both teams have always found a way to stretch themselves and produce exciting contests - and Bangalore, weather permitting, should be no different.
