Yep, that's a great idea. Also, you're currently using the 2GB Batpack, right?

Yeah, the most recent batpack (The 4GB batpack, which also includes the uniquefacepatch and the updated roster) has an expanded number of 55 bats, and they're all assigned to the correct players- I think.
Anyway, class innings from Cosgrove, hopefully he can build from this platform now to boost the total.

Cosgrove Falls To Kumble - Australia 3/107

A powerful innings from debuton Mark Cosgrove has come to an end at the hands of Anil Kumble as Australia lost their 3rd wicket with the score on 107. Cosgrove was eventually dismissed for 63 from only 40 balls after Kumble managed to sneak one in between bat and pad as Cosgrove looked to drive down the field.

It was an impressive debut from Cosgrove, who may have earnt himself a place in the one day squad for the upcoming VB series.

Keeper Cashes In - 3/133 (15.0)

Stand in wicketkeeper Brad Haddin showed he has the powerful game capable of replacing Adam Gilchrist with the gloves when the Western Australian does not play. Haddin raced to 24 from 15 balls as Australia stormed to 3/133 from 15 overs at a run rate of 8.86 per over with the field scattered to all parts of the ground. Anil Kumble 1/13 (3.0) has done a great job in restricting the home side.

Clarke Falls In The Deep - Australia 4/135

Michael Clarke's innings ended prematurely while the talented batsman was on 11 as Australia slipped to 4/135. Clarkes 14 ball 11 unfortunatly did not show the full potential of the young New South Wales star. However Clarke's dismissal brought crowd favourite Andrew Symonds to the crease.

Yuvraj Too Quick For Symonds - 5/156

Yuvraj Singh proved his is deadly with the arm as he ran out Andrew Symonds for only 12 as Australia dropped to 5/156. Symonds attempted to steal a quick single to mid on, however Yuvraj made ground quickly to release the ball with his right hand and hit the stumps, Symonds still meters from the crease.

[sid_19840]

Excellent innings by Cosgrove and Haddin.For India apart from Kumble the other's have conceded far too many imo.Should be tough for India to chase this one taking into consideration their inexperience in this format of the game.
