We all heard Ponting's theory. Well even Dhoni he would have done the same thing had he won the toss.

Praveen Kumar bowled under lights while Hilfy and Mitch didnt. Praveen got more swing under lights.

The injuries are unfortunate. We lived without Sehwag, Yuvraj and Zaheer for the Champions Trophy and without Sehwag and Zaheer even before that for the T20 World Cup. And when did we fear Paine? We thought he looked promising. Nothing to fear about for us about Paine.

Nehra's fastest delivery was 143+. Both Ishant and Nehra were consistently bowling 140+. And one more thing, only pace doesnt make you struggle. It helps but it all depends on the pitch.

Fixed??? Sour grapes about the loss?

Nehra, Ishant and Praveen performed really well this game. It was not just average, it was a very good performance. Only glitch was Bhajji's bowling. Else, it was a very comprehensive performance. Let Zak take rest and be fully fit for the Sri Lankans. Munaf and Tyagi are enough backups too.

All the talk about the past has usually been about Hayden and Gilly but Ponting seems to be more concerned about the loss of McGrath's death bowling. Of our current bowlers, McKay would be the best of the bunch to full that role. Hes got the accuracy, confidence and a good slower ball.

 

[piriyanth]

So who's going to replace Paine as an opener?

Hope it's not Manou.

So who's going to replace Paine as an opener?

Hope it's not Manou.

Infact, its Manou who is replacing Paine :doh

 

[aussie1st]

Easy choice - Marsh. Johnson might have got his wish if we had a batter that could bat in the middle order but Marsh isn't that.

 

[formula1man]

Why in the world did Marsh bat at 7?:doh

 

[piriyanth]

He did well though, played pretty aggressively.

I have not seen Mcgrath bowl that well in death overs. I thought he was not a great death bowler. Only good death overs Australian bowler that comes to my mind is Ian Harvey. Brett Lee is also a good death bowlers.

I think Manou vs Hartley is a no-win situation.

Manou scores quicker, but he doesn't score quickly enough to justify getting out for 20 or 30 all the time. He has scored 3 50s in 10 years. There are a lot of tailenders who could boast a better record and probably a better strikerate.

That does put Hartley's two 50s in two starts as an opener into perspective, but they are his first 50s ever. He's also not known for a bristling array of attacking shots and even in those better innings he was scoring at 70 or 60 runs per hundred balls. If we weren't to use him as an opener, we'd have to expect a slow scoring effort. That's the sort of thing that would get Johnson promoted and then we'd be in the position of saying that Manou makes a better number 8.

Exactly right bro. I'd be putting Manou at #7 on the card, but really I'd drop him down to #8 unless we absolutely collapsed. Then use Mitch as a pinch hitter to target one particular bowler (Jadeja?) or powerplay and send him in for quick runs.

Marsh will be fine up top.

It was second highest score in ODI made against Australia by any team. We all know highest score made against Australia

An old example Dhoni and Raina's running between the wickets :

Think he'll be back for the Sri Lanka series.

 

[Chetan0304]

As we know Australians are known for coming back hard, they will at their best in the coming ODI's though some of their key players injured. We need to get our bowlers to it's best, still i feel Zaheer should play.


I see in my crystal ball some huge records coming up, either from the Australian or Indian side, who knows like the Aus vs RSA match.
