Come on, at least watch the first 30 minutes. Ponting might once again open today.OZGOD said:I thought it was tomorrow for some reason. I have to go to bed, its nearly 4am here. Fly the flag for Australia Bublu!
Paradox said:India are looking a pretty strong outfit in this series, but then again I wouldn't really judge anything or compare them to Australia as Australia has lost a lot of strength by losing a couple of their players to injuries.
I'd love to see a full-strength India versus a full-strength Australia.

Poison said:Not much action in the thread for the series which "IS THE BEST RIVALRY CURRENTLY YEAH WOO!"
no.
jusarrived said:action will start once Aus gets into strong position
Of cource there won't be much rush in a thread on a Pakistani forum when Pakistan isn't playing. We'll see the rush tomorrow when Pakistan plays New Zealand.kamranO said:No rush here in this thread thats why people like to watch pak Vs india mostly times

4th match is going on, and India are up by 2-1. What's worse is that we lost the 1st match by 4 runs issed:Luton Bad Boy said:or maybe because it is a SEVEN match ODI series that is almost as long as the World Cup held in Jamaica.....by the way, has that tournament finished yet?

dani2k said:Ah so much for an Ausralian C team. No talks of it in the CT when India had its own C team. Then you had fun isnt it (both the Pakistan and Aus teams).
Ab hamaari baari hai. And we are also missing a couple of players FYI..
Luton Bad Boy said:India did not have its C team in CT, barring Sehwag/Yuvraj (does that means losing these two makes the entire indian team)...it appears so..
As for Australia, you notice their team was much more stronger in CT as compared to this team, they are struggling to play 11 fit players.....India do not have that luxury
dani2k said:What about Zaheer? And he is not yet in the team. That makes it three of our key players. It is not our fault that Australian players are injured. We can only play the team that is before us. And we didnt hit them to add to the injury list unlike the Aussie guys who injured couple of our guys last game Thankfully Viru is playing.
Luton Bad Boy said:3 key players is a huge blow but, it is a good chance to test bench strength as well....
Against a full strength Australian side including Haddin, M Clarke and Brett Lee, I am sure the results would be more evenly balanced...

dani2k said:Yes..that I would agree to. Since Clarke and Lee are match winners on their own right. Haddin? Sorry. He hasnt proven himself in Indian conditions.
Yes Australia are unlucky to not field their best team. But historically when we have visited the Australian shores, we couldnt field our best bowling attack due to injuries. In 2003-04, Zaheer and Bhajji missed out and we had to field new comers like Balaji and Irfan apart from Ajit Agarkar. I am not sure even Nehra was fit. Inspite of that we finished 1-1 in the test and got badly flogged in the ODIs
Even last time (2008) we had to do without Zaheer and had to contend with RP and fielded Ishant. Thankfully he came good. So it is pretty even stevens mate..
rahulrulezz said:Man...India is playing with this B team.. Also with Jadeja, we are plying with 10 players.. No Gambhir, Z.Khan.. No chance of winning... Didnt Pakistan loose Australia D team in M.East this year with No Pontings, Hussey, M.Johnson
Luton Bad Boy said:So what would make the full complement of bowling for India then,
Zaheer
Nehra
I Sharma
P Kumar
Sreesanth
Balaji
RP Singh
Who from here would be considered cast iron certainties in a full strength indian team with those selection of bowlers?
Bublu Bhuyan said:If we win today, we'll be # UNO in ICC ODI rankings
We'll be on #1 for quite a while this time, that is if we manage to win this ODI series 4-3. A better margin will take us further ahead.dani2k said:BB.. I still don't think we deserve the #1 yet. #3 is a fair call. Our pace bowling and fielding leave a lot to be desired. And I would rather be a #3 working my way up to stay there for long rather than have frequent flings at the top only to fall down 2 days later.
Screw the T20 Tournaments, they are not worth it. True, we were let down in the Champions Trophy, but it's also true that we played a second string side. Add to that it's a loss in one match that knocked us off.dani2k said:And MSD has to fix his teams under performances in ICC tournaments. That is unacceptable.
Icc tournys are the ones you want to do well in and win.Bublu Bhuyan said:Screw the T20 Tournaments, they are not worth it. True, we were let down in the Champions Trophy, but it's also true that we played a second string side. Add to that it's a loss in one match that knocked us off.
Which for me translates to World Cup and Champions Trophy.Apnacricket said:Icc tournys are the ones you want to do well in and win.
Poison said:Australia have a very poor bowling lineup. If Johnson and Siddle are off color expect this to be over within 40 overs.
