Australia have a shocking batting order. One of Watson/Ponting/Hussey basically has to make a hundred or they're screwed.

I do but they will just say it's a fluke and that this proves it. They're like Liverpool fans who seem to think Liverpool are amazing because they won some stuff years ago.Remind them of the WC and Champions Trophy

As has been said, really not worried about our performance this series with so many players out. But it is definately a good opportunity for some of the reserves to stand up.
Just wish we'd pick better players than Henriques, Hilfenhaus, Manou, etc.
EDIT: And although Australia's batting was terrible, that was terrific by India's bowlers and fielders. They want this and it's showing.

India are the best side in the world nevertheless.

Yeah, feel the same.
I don't think Henriques will be in the picture for the 2011 World Cup. Guys like Marsh should be persevered with because he should be in the picture for that time frame. Really do think that McDonald should have been preferred, provides a better option with the ball and bat, and has the ability to take the pace off the ball like Hopes does.
I don't really think they did too much wrong with Manou, who else was there to be picked? Hartley had been opening the batting for a week in domestic cricket when they had to send someone over, and Manou is contracted. It had to be him.
The other positive about Hilfenhaus playing is that it is starting to be realised that he's just not quite up to it in ODI cricket. Maybe this series was required for them to cast him aside for a while in this version of the game.

They have to get Sehwag, Yuvraj, Dhoni and Tendulkar early to be in a position from where they can control the game.

Agree with this totally.
Regardless of whether Hartley had been opening or not, I thought it should've been him, if he opened the batting or not. In ODI Cricket, your wicket-keeper needs to be a decent batsman.

Hartley will never be ready to open for any nation bar Bangladesh. Form is temporary.
No surprises really, the faith that the selectors have shown in these young quicks is badly misplaced. If we discard Lee and Clark for this summer, Australia will be in for a world of pain.

Haha, don't want to, but have to say - such lovely strokeplay. Enjoying it a lot.

Tendulkar has been pretty mediocre this series as yet. If they manage to get Sehwag, Yuvi and Dhoni under 120-150, it may be tough for India.

Like Ishant Sharma?Haha, Johnson, stump-to-stump? No? Okay.
Feel that the best bowlers on these pitches would be the taller seamers, those that hit a length.
