India will come back: Sourav Ganguly

India will bounce back in Sydney, said by former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. The second test starts from January 3, 2012.

"The Indians will be disappointed with their performance. They were in good positions at various times, but weren't able to give the knockout punch at the right moment. The Indians have some thinking to do, but I can guarantee a better show in Sydney. History suggests with India touring abroad that they play better from the second Test onwards. There is a lot of cricket left to be played in this series," said by Ganguly. 


"They can take a lot of positives from this game, especially in the bowling department. Umesh Yadav was hugely impressive, and what will give a lot of hope to M.S. Dhoni is that Zaheer Khan has come out well. He played Test cricket after a long time out and looked in very good form. He will get better with every day as he is a class act," wrote by Sourav Ganguly in his column in The Sydney Morning Herald. 

"Not many expected this match to finish inside four days and the Australians deserve a lot of credit for the way they played," said by Ganguly.

"They were under a lot of pressure after the Hobart match against New Zealand and showed a lot of character in this game to come out win. People were expecting India to roll them, but they have always been a tough side to beat in their own backyard," he added.

Petrol prices may rise from Jan 1

Price of Petrol may be rise again as the rupee goes weak against the dollar. Oil companies thinking a Rs 1 per litre increase in price of petrol from January 12, 2012.

“The weakening of the rupee against the dollar has made oil imports costlier. There is an under-recovery of about 85 paise per litre currently. After adding local sales tax, the desired increase in retail prices would be Rs1.02 per litre,” a top executive of a state-owned oil company.
“While oil companies are free to revise the price of petrol, there is an unwritten rule that the final decision vests with the government. An informal nod is required from the petroleum ministry, which is our majority shareholder,” added by him.

Indian Oil Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and Bharat Petroleum Corporation — State-owned oil marketing firms — use the fortnightly average of the benchmark oil price and exchange rate to revise retail rates on the 1st and 16th of every month.
