***Official*** Australia in India

Haha, why do they persist with Hodge at #3? I like him but 11 runs from 6 innings at 3 doesn't fill me with confidence.

hes played more then 3 innings at #3, hasnt scored over 10 there though.

Sreesanth again proving to be very loose and wayward, no way he should be in the side ahead of RP Singh.

His claim that he has the credentials to open in Tests is in tatters. If you can't handle the new white ball, then the new red one will probably get the better of you too.

Good start by India, India need to restrict Aus to a moderate total, in the last match India lost the plot in middle overs.

I hope India win the match in the very last over.

RPS > Sree>>> Irfan.

I guess Irfan is in team coz of his batting, as far as bowling is concerned, he's still a lowsy bowler to me.

Rps should never have been dropped

Of course Irfan is in because of his batting, he allows the selectors to play 5 bowlers while still retaining some depth in the batting lineup. He did bowl very well in the World Twenty20, and quite quick at times, so he should be able to make a successful comeback.

Yeah, that's why I said he has made 11 runs from 6 innings.

Get Sreesanth off, let Irfan Pathan have a couple of overs.

I'm going to tip Hayden for Allan Border medalist for 2007/08.

EDIT: Another great shot.

Actually, changed my mind. Sreesanth's last couple of overs have been good, persist with them.

What's the ball doing? Getting much swing?

A little bit, but Hayden & Clarke have handled it well. Hayden's batting a long way out of his crease and Clarke is seeing them like watermelons. There isn't as much swing as the first few overs, but still enough there for the bowlers.

Standard Hayden then, I noticed he just walked down the track and pulled Zaheer through mid-wicket.

Pathan on now, first ball only 124kph. Let's hope he can build up a bit of pace.

Good over from Khan there.

 

[Perm]

Maiden, quality. Sad thing is he'll likely have his good figures ruined at the death.

 

[Mister Wright]

Does India have any Workplace Health and Safety laws? Those people standing up the top of the grandstand are crazy!

Sreesanth trying a bit too hard in front of his home crowd?

Just aggressive (which is good to see). He's bowled well. Clarke and Hayden are just up to the task.
