4th ODI: Australia v India at Adelaide Feb 12, 2012

[TheParraboy]

We are back into it in a couple of days time

Team India to win this one. Short turn around from Australia, they will be flat and drained from the SL game. India fresh and raring to go, best fielding side in the world according to ravi shastri

Sachin ton coming up as well. Im really extra confident he will get it here

Cheers

That is funny on a lot of levels..

Forrest will play this one, give one of the Husseys a rest imo

Welcome back PB

Let's hope Sachin doesn't get it

Australia to win the toss, send India in to bat. India make 150 Australia end up at 1/152 after 23.3 overs.

sachin read this and wants to be rested from the game.

Apparently Hussey and Ponting are basically refusing rests. This is going to be interesting to see who they drop.

I heard Ponting was having a rest so Forrest could get a game, why is he still in the one day side???? We don't play a WC cup for over 3 years??? He should have been told test's only FFS!! Didn't know he still called the shots????? After the two years of shit he served up he has no right to be telling them what he can and can't do.....

Mitch Marsh will be in as well unless our selectors have completely lost the plot and named him in the side for absolutely no reason at all.

Rested for the first 3 ODI's- to play a Shield match. Marsh will alternate with Christian for the remaining games after this match.

Well in their defence they did have the T20 series off. I can see them resting Warner at some stage though

This squad is only for our first 3 ODIs.

Dan Christian and Matthew Wade have improved the fielding of an already very good fielding side.

Wade has to replace Scissorhands Permanently I'm not into resting or alternating between players. Right now Christian has done enough to warrant his position in the side, if he fails then replace him.

The adelaide pitch and short square boundaries may be the place to kickstart Sehwag provided he's not rested.

They've always been quick to bring in the young players in the ODI's which is fair enough but if these two are refusing rests after their shit batting yesterday they should be dropped anyway

I'd like to know Hussey and Ponting's plans in one day cricket. You'd have to assume that they're not sticking around for the world cup so now is the time to retire from the format and let new blood in.

Hussey would be a player I would pick in an all time Australian ODI team. Would get there ahead of Bevan as well. Just a more allround batsman and a much better field. Sad to say because Bevan is one of my all time favs. I think Hussey should be kept on for a while yet. Ponting might be looking at retiring soon if it keeps him going in the test team.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I don't know about that. Bevan won numerous games batting with the tail. His century against the Kiwis was a master class and in the context of the match one of the greatest innings ever. I'd have both in my team tbh.

Especially with a tough schedule coming up next summer with crammed test and ODI's.
