I'm not sure this has been mentioned recently but this is the ODI series for Australia's last tour, where they only played Tests.

Yeah, they don't just have ODIs or Tests because they feel like it, they have an obligation to the FTP to squeeze specific fixtures in.

If India attack our bowlers like they did in the 20/20 semi then they could be really competitive this series. Our bowlers have clearly shown they can't bowl the yorker when needed and the 5th bowling option is a real problem.

 

[harishankar]

It's going to be a cracker of a series. Australia will be aching for revenge for this 20-20 loss to India and India will go in with a new team full of confidence.

I predict a see-saw series, it could go either way.

You have to wonder if we've now over-exposed Clarke and Symonds to the point that teams will blast the weak link in the chain.

Time is the key. In an ODI situation, the fifth and sixth bowlers might only bowl 5 overs, maybe less if there is a seventh option or an early end. I think batsmen may well see that as short enough to press hard like they do in T20.

 

[Cricketman]

I want to see some T20 specialists from India's end to really capitalize on those Aussie part timers.
Rohit Sharma and Robin Uthappa should do nicely.

Now Hussey Arg!!!!!!!! Blow after blow, this is getting terrible :

Mate, we have the back up. There's always Haddin, Hodge, D Hussey, White, Jaques, Rogers who can all fly in to replace them.

It looks like it, the worry thing for us is our part timers are no where near as effective as other countries.

I see Hopes has been called up to replace Watson, for mind his bowling looks to be only successful in domestic cricket, he hardly ever transfers that to the international arena.

From what I've seen on Hussey hes out for the tour and we will be calling up a replacement soon.
