Wow............Australia are getting battered! :D
52 for 7 chasing 309! Amazingly all wickets have fallen to seamers on a fairly placid pitch. Some dreadful shots, one slightly iffy decision (Marsh) but basically they are getting massacred. With no Clarke in the line up there batting looks very, very average today.
-
Make that 54 for 8! :D
-
What a shame. :-[
-
60 for 9! A run out!
-
65 all out! Wow, I didn't expect that.........
-
I've always thought kartik was too good not to play for india. he is in some fine form!

He is in amazing form ...great knock by him and Dhoni
Lets see how the May 6th opener goes
-
Still headf***ed by the Indians after their recent series...

He has been in great form throughout IPL. He was seen as wicket keeper batsman rather than just batsman. Hope he continues his form. Some great cricket ahead weather permitting.
-
Personally always thought Dinesh Karthik had missed the boat at international level, with the arrival of Dhoni
His form at present makes him undroppable.
Rohit Sharma on the other hand...hypejob. Nothing more.
-
you could say the same for Vijay. and he hasnt scored any runs in the IPL either. its going to be a toss up between rohit and vijay for the 11th spot.
-
And why would they drop Rahane..he certainly deserves a place in ODI team.

Rohit Sharma was the sixth highest run scorer in the IPL 2013.

rohit sharma has done well in all the IPLs but when it comes to playing for India, its the same old story repeated everytime. what i was trying to say was that its a toss up between vijay and rohit sharma for the last spot in the playing XI tomorrow.
and personally i feel rohit sharma will get the nod over vijay. (dhoni mentioned that he would like karthik to play at the top of the order)
update: vijay and dhawan will open. that means rohit sharma will miss out

Highlights of the game showing fall of wickets
India vs Australia champions trophy 2013 warm up match Highlights - Full Match Fall Of Wickets (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a7HAc7hfPk#ws)

Neither Rohit Sharma or Ajinkya Rahane are international class.
Sharma has played 80+ ODIs, and his record is rubbish.
Rahane was given a run of games and was found wanting.
Seems bizarre that someone like Pujara, who's scored runs for fun at international level isn't considered for their ODI side.
Considering Pujara's got a fine technique, he'd had been perfect for English conditions.
-
I agree, Pujara is awesome
-
How about this for fancy dress? First game underway annd SA looking weak with no Steyn!

Kleinveldt's extended run came due to the serious injury Marchant de Lange suffered.
Watching Kleinveldt bowling today, it shows the gulf in class between Rory and Marchant
Tsotsobe is a nothing bowler really. Often gets wickets due to the opposition targeting him as Steyn and Morkel strangle them.
If Philander wasn't injury prone and de Lange not back to his full fitness yet.
Tsotsobe and Kleinveldt wouldn't be in the mix.
Steyn Morkel de Lange and Philander would be a great attack.

Always felt the same about Tsotsobe, he's just an innocuous early-80mph bowler. Doesn't really do too much with the ball, and as you say gets wickets because Morkel and Steyn apply the pressure and they see him as a release bowler.

Was reading an article earlier where Tsotsobe claimed he was ready to play Tests again...
He's bowls 120-125kph, yet he claims he's a 135-138kpjh bowler.
Good luck with trying to displace Steyn, Philander, Morkel and Abbott(took 9 wickets on Test debut)

Always liked Kyle Abbott, played for KZN with a lad I know, good bowler, good pace. Steyn, Philander, Morkel, Abbott, De Lange. Do you really NEED any other seamers? Chris Morris if you want an all-rounder, but Kleindvelt/Tsotsobe? Really? Even Mclaren is no better than a solid domestic cricketer...

Steyn and Philander have had a few niggles over the last 12 months
So it's nice to have a bigger pool of classy fast bowlers
Only 3-4 years ago we had Steyn and Morkel and sod all else.
Most worryingly McLaren has been named as the Test sides new all rounder, I mean seriously!?!
Chris Morris is a better bowler and batsman!

I'll see your 'Ryan Mclaren' and raise you one 'Jade Dernbach' and 'Ravi Bopara'.I know who I'd rather have

I'll raise your Dernbach and Bopara with Tsotsobe and Kleinveldt :(

No kidding!
de Lange looks the goods from what I have seen of him.
