Interesting to see that Peter Forrest will dayboo for Oz tomorrow.
Strange selection - can't see what he's got over Callum Ferguson other than MC's his mate on Facebook....

Forrest was the leading runs scorer in the Shield and he had a good big bash league. His domestic ODI started off well with a 70 odd, but he hasn't done much since, scoring like 190 odd and averaging 26.

Selectors ignored the domestic ODI comp, as none of the top 12 batsmen got in to the team. FC cricket seemed to be what they judged it on.

They are keen to give Forrest a run at international level prior to the West Indies series in April. If he goes well he will more than likely be in the Australian test squad.

Angelo Matthews' heroics fall just a little short. Good game for the neutrals.

Who said that the Aussie bench strength is no longer that great? I know they are playing India..lol...but come on--- this Forrest dude too looked quite good.

Forrest has been really god for qld this year, hence why he is playing for Australia.

I thought dhoni had left it too late for a minute. No lateral movement and India look more comfortable. Really think sachin had a good chance to get his ton on this track

I think it's a bit farcical that India are rotating Tendulkar, Shewag and Gambhir to accomodate Rohit, when the logical person to sit out would be Raina. He's been out to the short ball twice, by medium pace bowlers like Christian and Mathews.

Clarke is ruled out for the next game, So who will skipper, Watson is Vice but Injured, Haddin dropped

Probably Michael Hussey. Haddin isn't injured he was dropped for Wade.

[awp]

I would think its a no brainer that Ponting will skipper in Clarkes absence

Ponting is captain again, was obvious, although Warner has been the Vice Captain for the whole series, although he hasn't performed so he may find himself out soon if he doesn't get a decent score.

Couple of close games eh?

What did you guys make of the tie? Personally, while I think Dhoni is a good finisher but against Malinga he was actually quite lucky to get away with some points for the team.

[awp]

i think India were ripped off given they only faced 49.5 overs! that said, who knows, the missing delivery may have been a dot.....Dhoni was most gracious in his comments, a class act.
