5th ODI: India v Australia at Hyderabad Nov 5 2009

[TheParraboy]

series poised at 2-2

5th game on thursady night , 8pm AEST

Good to see (hopefully) Bollinger cement his place in the one day side.
If Johnson can be a bit more consistant we should have decent attack.

India missed Gambhier plenty, God help them if they have a few more injuries like we do

With Siddle gone may as well give McKay a go. It will strengthen the batting as well.

Also how it that we've had 2 Indian Umpires in this series?

Im sure India will be fine if we had 2 aussie umpires when they tour here :sarcasm:

 

[Collingwood Storm]

last night it was a sri lankan and an indian, earlier there were two indians because Mark Benson was ill.

Siddle gone ?

Never heard this

That would be 8 players out injured if that is true, yet we still hold onto our No 1 ranking

Clarke
Lee
Brax
Haddin
Paine
Hopes
Furgeson

Send in the clowns

 

[hineyrulz]

How lucky is sh*tchell????? On form he has no right to be anywhere near the team but whith Siddle out he gets anther chance. Watch him clean up the tail and Ponting have a pull over how well he is bowling :roll:

 

[lockyno1]

I'd love to pull Johnson!

 

[TheParraboy]

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Henriques ruled out with Hamstring injury.

13 players to pick from now.

 

[Twizzle]

9 players injured

2 more and we have a whole team out

 

[TheParraboy]

we can beat india with 10 fit players, good as gold

Ah ok. Just found it confusing since they're suppose to have one neutral umpire in ODIs.

As for 2 Aussie umpires when India tour here. I suppose as long as Simon Tauful is one of them.

 

[eddiesmith]

Cockley and McDonald now heading to India

I suppose for this game they will have to play Voges in place of Henriques and McKay in for Siddle, although cricinfo seems to think they will go back to Hilfy

 

[hineyrulz]

Australia B with Ponting,Hussey and Johnson go you good things!!

 

[TheParraboy]

dont forget Haurie, He is numero uno

 

[hineyrulz]

dont forget Haurie, He is numero uno

Yeah my bad...............

 

[aussies1st]

India should feel very embarrassed if they can't beat our B side + a few 1st stringers

 

[eddiesmith]

Australia batting first

McKay, Hilfy and Voges in, Henriques, Siddle and Johnson out

Watson, Marsh, Ponting, White, Hussey, Voges, Manou, McKay, Hauritz, Hilfy, Bollinger

 

[aussies1st]

That would be one of the weaker bowling lineups we have fielded. Don't know if Hilfy would be an improvement on Johnson despite the crap hes been bowling.
