Indian fans are forgetful and one good show by the players here can place them back into their affections.

So what are the chances of an Indian win?
Honestly speaking, it's highly unlikely that the story is going to be any different on a sporting pitch in Adelaide.

The reason is that very few teams in the history of the game have been able to stage a comeback in the situation the Indian team is.

Talent and resources are not the issues here. Everything is in plenty. But the question is whether they have the fire in the belly to bail the team out of its biggest crisis in the last decade or so.
