Lets start with Good news first, that is for Australian side. Hyden and Ponting are showing improvement with the injury before India-Australia series. Australian Coach Tim Nilson confirm to press that both the players are on there way to recovery and doing pretty well.
I am sure Australian cricket team don't want to come to India without these two keeping in mind there past performances on Indian soil. Hyden, whom Indian bowlers found quite difficult from restricting to big scores and Ponting who is considered to be one of the best players against spin in Australia. Not to forget Andrew Symonds whose selection is not confirmed for Indian series, that's would be a big blow in case he didn't make it to the tour.
If you will ask me I am surely want Australia to come with full strength so that there is no excuses of experience and full strength after defeat :)
Now bad news for Indian Cricket, Kumble and party knows pretty well how quality players Ponting,Hyden and Symonds are. Almost amazing with the bat, fielding and Symonds with the ball, surely none of you have forget the performance of Symonds with ball in India-Australia series in Australia last time around.
Ponting scoring with an batting average of 58 plus, highest among his generation of players including Sachin. His current tally of hundreds is 35 with far more better average then Sachin. Though he scored two double centuries against India on home soil his best score is 60 in last 8 tests played in India, a score he made in 1998 in Eden Garden,Kolkata. He is definitely looking forward for a better show in India and there is no reason why he can't achieve this this time.
Hyden who is in my view most dangerous player in Test Cricket currently because of his stats. Isn't it amazing by the strike rate he scores runs in Test Cricket, no doubt thats might be better then many ODI Cricketers.
Symonds, career in jeopardy after discipline lapse and might not come to India. Thats the bad news for media and reporters but good news for Indian cricket team.
