Henriques & Nannes instead & yea this would clearly be the best team if certain nonsense wasn't going on. Although Marsh/Hughes is fairly close as ODI openers.

Really think our blokes missed Bracken on that pitch, but looking at the highlights last evening, Yuvraj and Dhoni batted superbly.
Some good signs for our blokes with the ball, but having Ponting moved up to opener with everyone else shuffling up the order really leaves us short imo.
On the series and the injuries, I don't think it's necessarily work load injuries per se, but my own frustration comes about when players get injured in a series like this, as opposed to them getting injured in say, a WC or a test series. I guess it's just because of a personal preference for those series rather than the ones like they're currently playing.
Thay's not to say these series ought not be played at all, rather the lack of what's at stake really gets brought home when you lose a few players while they're participating in such a series.
Given the WC will be on the subcontinent in 2001 though, it's probably not a bad thing for our fellas to play in India as often as possible in the lead up tbh.

If it were a World Cup, reckon Nannes or Harwood would've gotten a shot. I don't think McKay will do all that great if picked to play this tour, but I do think that it is worth the while because he could be good enough. He's definitely the type who deserves the experience of a few internationals, and then the onus is on him to reproduce once he goes back to state level.

Whatever it takes!!!
It's really light on bowling though...

Is it a low-scoring pitch or was Marsh just struggling?

Combination of good bowling and Marsh trying to find his touch post-injury.

The pitch is fine. Marsh just couldn't score runs off a good ball and Nehra and Kumar weren't bowling any bad ones.

I never get how a LAO spinner can bowl without a slip. For me, the whole point of a bowler who turns the ball away from the batsman is to find an edge. What's the point in even bowling if whenever you do exactly what you're trying to do you just concede four runs?
