James Faulkner,

Is he unbanned? I doubt. I remember he was banned for two years.

Wow. Kohli joins the party too. 15 overs 136-1. Kohli 58 from 37, Dhawan 64 from 41.

India 192-4 from 20 overs.

EDIT-

Easy win for India.

Won't look too much into this since it was a second string team that WA put in. It's still good to see Dhawan among runs because he is very important for us especially in ODI's at the top. Kohli got some runs too which is also good to see. I watched the highlights and Barinder Saran looked decent as well which is a good sign because we need some variety in our bowling attack. Ideally I would have liked to see Shami bowl since he was coming back from injury and he is the one who needs the most match practice. Hopefully he plays in the One day match tomorrow. Hopefully Rishi Dhawan bowls well tomorrow to further his claim. However, I feel that Gurkeerat Mann will take Raina's role and Jadeja will come in as the all-rounder.

Injured Shami out of Australia tour, Bhuvneshwar named replacement | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

The fcuk is wrong with this guy's fate? I was so much excited about his comeback.

 

[Aalay]

Manish Pandey with a crucial half-century there. It will be interesting to see who will be picked between him and Gurkeerat in the first ODI. I always thought that Gurkeerat was ahead since he can bowl as well but this match has made it even more interesting now.
