Commonwealth Bank Series Feb-Mar 2011/12

[0601731]

Its timke to drop Rohit Sharma, he is only capable of scoring against the weaker opposition.Time to give Manoj Tiwary his due.

Clarke should slot in nicely for Ponting next match.. can't see it happening but will be unfortunate for anyone else to miss out. Deserves a "rest".

 

[angryangy]

Ponting was meant to rest this game anyway, so I'm sure they'll let him go

 

[Biggy]

Billy Bowden - the smiling assassin haha. Loving this contest between Lee and Dhoni.

Definitely see Ponting being rested, he really looks jaded (well for his sake it better be that). That would give us a chance to see how Clarke and Forrest would go together, Clarke showed positives signs in his last match but will it continue.

 

[Sedition]

Will definitely feel like our form XI to me if we went with today's line-up, with Clarke in for Ponting. We've got some pay back to dish out to Sri Lanka.

Anyone know what we need for the bonus point? All out for under 188 or in under 40 overs or something? (want to make sure we finish 1st for homeground advantage).

 

[aussie1st]

Hilfy having a dream return, could well have taken Starc/Harris spot. McKay seems to be a lock for the other one. Of course Pattinson and Cummins will complicate matters.

Under 230 apparently.

 

[angryangy]

It's a 25% run rate difference thing, which confuses people. 1/1.25 = 0.8 so the easy way to work it out is either the first side holds them to 80% of the target or the second side chases in 80% of the overs.

Five catches for the keeper and watch him not get motm

 

[alexczarn]

Haddin you have permanently lost your Oneday spot, and probably your test spot too.

 

[iridescentt]

5-for Hilfy to go with 40-plus runs + 5 catches for Wade. Great stuff.

 

[aussie1st]

Wade really has been on a catching streak, can't remember if Haddin did likewise but this is Gilly like from Wade in terms of strike rate for dismissals.

 

[midgetwars]

What's catches got to do with keepers? I always thought it's the bolwer.

 

[SLICKR392]

Where is Tim Paine? Lad was good imo...

 

[Aalay]

It's very frustrating to see Rohit getting runs against WI and than choking against Australia. That guy is such a talented cricketer and he is still not getting runs.

It's time to bring in Tiwary. He deserves a chance now.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been suspended for one match after his side was fined for a second minor over-rate offence within a year during the seventh match of the three-nation series against Australia in Brisbane on Sunday.

The India side was ruled to be two overs short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration.

Suspended without a warning..
