and also whether India plays spin duo or only Kumble.

well its all depend upon the green top pitch. usually greentop pitch will give a significant advantage for the Pace Bowlers. Though the Pitch is becoming slow and less bounce. Mcg Pitch cannot help too much for spinners. because these Australian Pitches are very Flat and Ideal for runs. but all i can say oz must give a chance to Hogg
and as india Playing with two spinners will be decided only by the team captain and management official on the morning day of Boxing test

Given the recent rain that has been falling in Melbourne, I think that Hoggy may have to sit this match out then come in at Sydney where it will turn square. I also think Kumble will be the only Indian spinner, and Ishant will play in the match, but get dropped at Sydney.
The recent rain will make the pitch a bit juicier and a bit more lively. If Australia win the toss and bowl first India could be in trouble!

This MCG pitch will provide for fast bowling, it's been under cover for a while, there will be plenty of moisture, It will be like an MCG pitch of late 80's, faster and bouncier than in the last few years.

i believe aussie selectors will be making a huge mistake if they dont put hoggy in..just look at the pitch you can see it is similar to previous years,and look how good warnie has done at these boxing day tests...we definatly need hoggy in our line up...
i also hope kumble is bowling i like "jumbo"...

I think Hogg will rule on MCG.....
Pacers will extract the max from the Green laid top and making
the famous Indian batting crumble like 9 pins....

Hoggy will play, i am sure about that.
And all Indian hopes are on brother Jumbo. Apart from him, no one is capable of giving a tough time to Aussie batsmen

If the Aussies use heavy rollers then they can blunt the spin. I think hogg will be played.
