India Played Listless Cricket

Indian cricketers currently in Australia playing Tri-Nation Series are badly beaten by Australia. Having bowled out for paltry 165 runs and not able to complete even 40 overs. Now the visitors are boarding flight after tomorrow's match against Sri Lanka which is only an academic interest. As usual Australia chose to bat and managed a modest total of 252. India who is having such a batting strength faltered so cheaply whereas Warner scored a brilliant 68, Wade contributed 56 and ever reliable D.Hussey made 54. For the visitors the top scorer is Ashwin who made 26. Overall Dhoni's tactics are far from satisfactory.

India Vs Australia Match

India Vs Australia first match at Melbourne will surely bring a result. Australia scored 333 runs in the first innings and 179 for 8 wickets in the second innings. India scored 282 runs in the first innings. Now Australia lead 230 runs and 2 wickets remaining. Bowler Yadav and Zaheer took 4 and 2 wickets respectively.

Indian Cricket team in Australia

Since 1947, India has not won a test series in Australia. But this time Dhoni’s men are considered so strong both in bowling and batting which may be able to achieve the feat. With Shewag the most feared opening bat along with some of the others are the real forces to reckon. The likes of Tendulkar, Dravid and VVS Lakshman who all may be playing their last Australia tour are expected to live up to their reputations. India should capitalize the poor performances of Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey. The team management believes our front line pacers Zakeer and Ishant Sharma can fire. The first test starts on Boxing Day at Melbourne.
