THANK GOD IT'S NEARLY OVER...

Never has the world been so split in it's views.

Fiercely partisan supporters of both sides have been trading slurs, accusations, and quite possibly blows.

Most foreigners have been strongly supporting the underdog.

The favourites die-hard supporters don't care what foreigners think.

There has been endless coverage in the world's press, and endless discussion here at U.S. MegaCorp Tower, but finally it's nearly all over, as later today the final test between Australia and India kicks off in Mumbai. Australia are looking for a 3-0 clean sweep of the series (having already won the series, the first time on Indian soil for 30 years) and recognition as the worlds preeminent cricket team, and India playing for pride, and looking to prove to the world they are still a great cricketing nation who would have taken the series to the wire but for a rained off final day in the second test in Chennai.

This morning's news - Shane Warne is out with a broken thumb - great news for India on what is expected to be a turning wicket.

Updates will follow as the wickets fall...
