India vs Australia-ODI series thread

[MightyEagles]

9/170 watson got the wicket

[locky801]

Watto cleans up the number 11 and bowls his off stump

India on the ropes at all out for 170, great performance by the bowlers, now the batters have to back it up

[wycbloods]

I think if Kumar can get 50 we should be able to make 170 off 50. New ball is obviously the key. Get through the first 15 for the loss of 2 wickets and we will win.

0/20 in the 4th over in reply

AUST 1/46 off 11 overs

And that LBW was a bit stiff, looked high on the pad live.

Now 1/60.

pitch is providing plenty of turn
but to even things up there was plenty in it for the AU bowlers
The Man of the Series 2/27 and 49 off 49 balls this game

Correct.

Credit where credit is due the MAN has been wonderful in recent times.

As Mal had stated a while back, he has a major impact on how we go in this form of the game. As the fifth bowler he has either won us a game or destroyed it.

When he plays well we seem to win more than we lose.

He will deserve to be MOTS.

Hooray, more money taken away from the Indian Cricket Council.

Great effort by a decimated side.

Tendulkar bowls the last 5 balls . 1 2 4 4

Aust win

[wycbloods]

Great series win against all the odds. Shows us the depth of Australian Cricket isn't that bad at all. Probably some people who got a game in this series who wouldn't have been in the first 22 picked.

Gotta love beating Indians in India.

Actually there is another guy who has undeservedly got under my radar for MOTS
Mike Hussey has been simply astonishing as well
Watto has been a matchwinner
But Iron Mike has done as much as he could possibly do with the opportunities presented to him in this series as well

The jury will be out in the Test arena, but in the ODIs he his a sensation


I re-iterate all that has been said
Great effort by a severley undermanned team to win in a haven of hell
I rate this 2nd to the Test series win v South Africa just gone

[Gozu]

This is one of the greatest ODI series wins by us I've ever seen. Look at who we're missing: Michael Clarke, Callum Ferguson, Brad Haddin & Nathan Bracken were all ruled out prior to the start of the series and Brett Lee, Tim Paine, James Hopes, Peter Siddle & Moises Henriques all came back home injured during the series. Absolutely outstanding effort with such an under-manned side. Hopefully we get a look at Andrew McDonald & Jon Holland in the last game too.

[mal]

Gozu
Someone on SAFOOTY will be absolutely unbearable if Dutchy Holland gets a gig in game 7
Someone predicted after seeing Holland [I think on debut] after one spell say that he could be an International player

[Gozu]

Well I reckon that now we have the series in the bag Holland might get a game so we might have to put up with the crowing from that person Perhaps they could be reminded of what happened to the last spinner from Victoria after he made his debut for Australia? Here's my GOZtradamus prediction, he'll play and bowl well and people will start demanding he should be our #1 spinner over Hauritz despite all the great work Hauritz has done this year.
