[hearts on fire]

WICKET!

Yuvraj 10 - bowled by Hogg.

India 3/87
18.5 overs gone

Tendulkar 50*
R. Sharma 0*

[Zulu]

Tendulkar - what a class act. Never get tired of watching him bat.

[Pup]

Well India won quite easily. (6 wickets)

Sachin is a genuis and i like Zulu love watching him bat. It amazes me that before tonight he had never scored an ODI century in Australia. This was also Indias first ODI win at the SCG if i heard correctly.

Australia will be very disappointed, Pretty ordinary batting performance except for Hayden and Hussey. The fielding was good as always for the Australians but the bowling was poor as well with Hopes the pick of the bowlers in my mind. Johnsons had an off day and his figures showed that. Terrific knocks by Sachin and a very good suppport role played by Sharma who looked pretty good.

Australia are going to have to get themselves up in less than a day to avoid a repeat of last years finals debacle. Brisbane will also suit India perfectly so will be an interesting night.

India batting 1st in game 2, go Aussie's! bring the 3rd game to Adelaide

S.Clark in, Hogg out

[sasquatch]

If India win then GB Hogg has already played his last game...

[Hazbeen]

Oz bowling looks flat and Tendulkar looks very, very composed for another big innings. If Aust don't knock over the little master very soon we will be looking a very big run chase IMO.

We are getting slapped around bit time here boyos. LM on 91 not out and Punter has underbowled James Hopes on his home deck. Roy going for eight and Pup going for a few as well. No cheap wickets all day. Last five overs the Indians have been racking up 7.6 runs per over.

India 3/204, 39th over. 300 on the cards.

As you have spoken REB, Tendulkar has fallen on 91 - brilliant catch by Ponting.

Big wicket, but India already have a sizeable total as a good platform with Dhoni and (Snake) Sharma at the crease.

[Hazbeen]

Now 5 down with the hope of keeping them under 250.

[Thiele]

Tendulkar made 91

Micahel Clarke has three wickets

[Hazbeen]

India 258, Big job for the Oz top order.

[sydney-dog]

why the hell did punter replace Hopes with Lee at the end of the innings, it cost Aust an additional 15 runs

[Dog_ger]

Do you Fellas' think we have a chance...?

[LBT]

Gilly and Punter both gone! 8 for 2. Very hard to win from here.

[Thiele]

3/32 after 4 overs Australia are gone

[gadj1976]

If India win, have they set the trend for countries who play the Aussies? Sledge us back hard/often, because it's proven that it upsets us?

I've never known the Aussies to take their eye off the ball like they have this series.

BTW, where's Praveen Kumar been hiding?

[bayman]

Ramifications?

[hearts on fire]

Very disappointing by the Australians. Hayden once again the only man in the top order to fire. Ponting has only made one good score and that was the 100 BUT there is also Andrew Symonds who has a lot of pressure on him this innings to produce the goods. Clarke has dug Australia out of trouble on a few occasions this summer but he hasn't done it the last couple of games which is disappointing. I think the Australians need to take a break and relax because they look very tense and frustrated but with their busy schedule, there is no time for rests or breaks. Also too note, Australia look like they are sick of the Indian faces, they have seen them a lot the last 6 or so months and i think they can not wait to play a different team and start a new fresh series.
