Aussies v. India - ODI Tri series

Haydos stumped on 47 from 76 balls, average innings considering the SR and his recent form, Kumble on FIRE

Australia have lost a flurry of wickets in the time of a few overs and are facing a tough RR to catch the indians.

Symonds goooone LBW Khan 1 off 5 balls, very disapointing considering Symonds stunning world cup this year

Time for one of those BEVEN rescue missions

RR continues to slip and Aussies now require almost 7 an over to win with 20 overs remaining and 6 wickets in hand

Martyn bowled by Sehwag on 16 from 26 balls, seemed as though he thought he was playing a test match, little urgency shown

2 balls later...................................

Beven goone once again bowled Sehwag on 18 off 28 balls, Description: See Martyn's innings

The all-rounders are set a massive task now to get 8.5 per over in the last 12 overs

Punter would be kicking himself right now and be hoping that a miracle 'fast bowler' cure could be found

Harvey bowled by Tendulkar for 4 off 10 balls, No urgency once again, Tendulkar looking like he can do anything

Aussies are now looking towards the Kiwis in a couple of days time as am I
GOoOdnight

I watched most of the innings and didnt think Tendulkar played brilliant cricket. It was more the bowling wasnt that good and he punished the bowling. I didnt think Indias batting had that much depth without Ganguly and they need Laxman and Tendulkar to lay a big foundation which they did.

The thing i find the most interesting will be the form of Ponting. Ponting still has a HUGE question mark in India in particular.

Hmm Donny I find your comments about Tendulkar very interesting and I must say I have to dispagree.

I got to watch the whole game FINALLY WE GOT CABLE YAY and I thought Tendulkar played really well how you can criticise someone who actually makes a big partnership and century is beyond me.

I understand your points and those from the article but you can't criticise someone who does that in a game. Sure it was Yuvraj and Agakar who got the total a lot higher than it was going to be, both played very entertaining and exciting cricket but that's what this game is about working as a team not just an individual winning the game.

I actually thought that if we didn't get Tendulkar out when we did he was going to start destroying Australia but anyway that's just my opinion.

I can't say much more about the game as all has been mentioned I will say that I thought the Aussies had a chance to win the game but it would be hard and with Gilly and Haydos starting off solid I was happy but once Gilly went out I had a feeling it was all over. Better luck next time.

Haydos getting angry with the people at the ground was a bit scarey and the commentator stating "OH HE'S LOST IT!" made me laugh.

Thats how Bevan bats all the time......lol

Normally the established batsman tries to bat through the innings and Laxman would be the one to play more strokes and up the run rate. I think it didnt help that Laxman seemed to be getting a lot of the strike.

Okay, so Katich moves from WA to NSW so that the national selectors can see him play, as they only attend NSW games. Yet all his mates are in India. Send him over there ASAP before we lose this tournament!

Winning this tournament is not all that important, in the grand scheme of things.

What is important is our players, esp. our new bowlers, getting experience in the heat of battle.

Mcgrath, Warne, Gillespie, Lee - arguably the 4 best bowlers in the world. Throw in Mcgill and you've got a pretty good lineup of bowlers. So, if we put Australia A's attack with Australia's batting are we going to win every time? I doubt it....not until these younger fella's get some experience. We might have better success at home but not in India.

I tell you what. Let's throw out India's 4 best batsmen and see how they do against Australia A. I've got my money on Australia A flogging them.

Where will they play this match, Blanch???

Australia or India??? Might change the betting depending on venue.

I'd like to think Australia A's best 4 bats are better than India's best 4 anyway, with exception of Tandulkar. I'd back the home town team though. We just don't like their cow paddocks over there in India.
