VB Series

[Iron-Haggis]

They played Zimbabwe at the WACA. The game that Hayden scored a few runs in.

On todays game how disappointing did Zimbabwe bat. Fair enough they didn't have 3 of their first choice batsmen (Vermeulen, Wishart & Grant Flower), but they still have to do better than that. Sibanda has been extremely disappointing with the bat this tour, even more so then the rest of them. Got to give credit to Pathan he did bowl very well.

I think Australia has been jibbed, they haven't been playing at the WACA enough, the conditions there do not suit the Indians at all, so it seems like they are trying to avoid the oval.
they didn't even play a test there.

Radega,

It's Aussies who decide which teams plays where no compalints about India not playing a test there btw

striking really well isn't he? he will be main threat for India in the finals.

yup he's definetly the most inform batsman in the team. I think if India can get the two openers (Gilchrist and Hayden) out early they'll definetly have the upper hand. Australia need to worry about India's middle order, they're on fire at the moment and will be hard to stop. The finals are shaping up to be one of the most exciting ODI Finals Series in the past Australian summers.
