4th ODI: India v Australia at Mohali Nov 2 2009

[TheParraboy]

On again Monday night 8pm AEST

Momentum certainly with India, If Punter or Hussey dont get a score we are no chance of being in a contest let alone winning a game. India just have too much batting artillary over us. Sunshine needs to step up like he did in the champions league semi and final, since it doesnt look like he is bowling.

Bollinger should retain his place, did real well game 3. Henriques will probably be persisted with due to our injuries and makeup of the side, hopefully his debut run will put him in good stead in this game

Too many injury's and the back up players aren't good enough at this stage. NSW>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Australia

 

[TheParraboy]

Gambhir and Sehwag both could be out injured this game

evens thingss up a little if they are out

Interesting to see If Ponting continues to open the batting. The balance of the side is garbage without Clarkey to bowl some quality spin. Bollinger should get a good crack and I'd give Holland a go to.

 

[TheParraboy]

I think Punter will open , keep/maintain some sort of stability at the top of the batting order

Are they covering these games on radio?, anyone know?

 

[rabbit0h8]

Ponting has stated that he will probably open again because he is the most experienced player in the team and doesn't want to put too much pressure in a younger player.

Marsh is over there why not use him???? Our selectors should be shot, anyone read where Merv doesn't even have Fox??? How the hell is he a selector when he can't watch every game :crazy:

Exactly Marsh is as good an any opener we currently have in the squad so why not pick him. Selectors have been getting worse by the day let us take them down.

I prefer Marsh in the side instead of Voges. If the pitch takes spin I want to see White get a bowl. Surely he works on his bowling. If he improves he woul dbe a very handy cricketer espeically in shorter formats.

 

[hineyrulz]

Ball doing a bit but a solid start.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

That's the funny thing... since the start of the ODIs in England, Cam White hasn't bowled a single over. He has though been tinkering with his approach (either getting more square-on or side-on).

I saw when they were doing the toss he was in the background bowling on the practice wicket. Surely he can't be worse than Voges.

 

[TheParraboy]

10-4

 

[eddiesmith]

Suprised to see Marsh back so quickly, thought they had left him out after his fielding in one of the early games

 

[aussies1st]

He ain't adding much in the batting so far

He would need to improve a LOT - worst bowler I've ever seen.

 

[aussies1st]

Watson might have an LBW buddy soon. Marsh out may as well sub Voges on so we don't mess up in the field at least.

 

[TheParraboy]

he added 5 off 23 balls

1/24 in the 8th

 

[aussies1st]

Ponting what class

 

[beads6]

Watson and Ponting look good here, we need over 300 if we are to win IMO
