The PC Tri-Nations Season 2

[CG123]

We haven't done that well under me as captain so I thought I see if someone else wanted to take over the reins and lead us to victory

Nevermind, I'll keep going. Hopefully we do better in the ODIs and T20s

That's always been our strength, as we've always struggled in tests.

i wouldn't really call it struggling either it's just we cant get the other team out fast enough or we bat for too long.

I see why captain wants to step down then

India v Australia, 1st Final, Mumbai
Teams Set to GO!!
June 14, 2010

Aussies Training Hard​

Both the teams are raring to go and cant wait till tomorrow when the first test begins. Both teams have shown promise throughout the tournament and have been very deserving of their final's spots.

Australia will be going in as underdogs in this finals series although they were 8 points clear of the kiwis, they only won one game while the Indians won two and a strong draw. On the other hand the Aussie bowling attack is much stronger than the Indian on paper that is.

Player To Look Out For
Waqas

What a player he has taken 26 wickets in 4 games at an average of 20.04 this is in huge contrast to the first two seasons where he averaged 86.00 (1 wicket/3 games) and 32.00 (7 wickets/2 games). His variations have been the key as his googly's and flippers are good enough to fool any Indian batsmen.

Team Lineups

India - Shahid Khan, Robin Uthappa(wk), Varun Rustagi, Sachin Tendulkar, Akshay Sharma(c), Sartaj McDaniel, Saurabh Tiwary, Rahul, Harbhajhan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Amar Varma

They've dropped the more experienced Virat Kohli for the hard-hitter Saurabh Tiwary, bit of a shock, but he could come in handy if they need 100 runs or so to win in the last session of the last day. Akshay Sharma has really underperformed this season with his stats not looking as they should but no doubt playing at his home ground should give him an advantage.


Australia - Phillip Hughes, Brendon Hedger(wk), Ricky Ponting, Shawn Raje, Andrew Peters(c), Viral, Steven Smith, Waqas, Khuram, Shane Warne, Shaun Tait

Australia are pretty confident going in with three specialist spinners and all of them leggies !!, but it has worked for them thus far and with the Brabourne pitch being very dry the ball should start turning after the first session.

Cricinfo are proud to bring you the finals of the PC Tri-Nations !!!
