I give India a chance and Aussie Attitude looks to be thinking past that to the World Cup

What gives you that idea, Dave ?

If any team is doing that, it'd be India.

With Hughes Dying - Could it be Called Off?

No decision has been made re. the first Test, according to the CA CEO, James Sutherland.

The first Test between Australia and India has been postponed in order to give Phil Hughes' former team-mates time to grieve and reflect upon his life.

No date has been rescheduled, yet.

The first (Gabba) Test may yet be moved weeks ahead, making the Adelaide fixture the first Test.

News, as it comes to hand.

Unlikely.

--------------------------

Discussions have taken place about when the Gabba Test could be played, and it is now highly likely the Adelaide Test will be brought forward by a few days to allow for Brisbane as the second Test.

That would mean a rapid turnaround between the Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne Tests, which would all be completed within the space of three weeks. Under those circumstances, the Sydney Test could be pushed back by a few days to allow the players a longer break after the Boxing Day Test.

Other scenarios, such as the delay of the Gabba and Adelaide Tests by a few days each and the playing of the Brisbane match last, following the New Year's Test in Sydney, have been ruled out. The former option was judged to allow the players too little time following Hughes' funeral in Macksville on Wednesday, while the latter would unduly interfere with lead-in time for the triangular ODI series that will precede the World Cup.
