Thread: India v Australia |1st ODI | Vadodara | 25.10.09 Score updates and commentary thread

come on team bring the unofficial trophy home.....

Anyone following the game? Seems a very interesting game going on...

They are not going down without a fight and that is the only way to go down.

Standard NZ fare really, give the opposition a fright with a lower order revival without really ever getting close to a win. Herath the Destroyer with 5 wickets. No chance Chris Martin going to hang around.

Murali gets Vettori and Sri Lanka win the series 2 - 0. I believe their next Test series is against the Evil Empire in India. Will be interesting because the Evil Empire won't be able to do their usual trick of doctoring the pitch when they need a win due to the Sri Lankan spinners being better than theirs.

Man if Vettori had a half decent team around him they could be a force to reckon with, this series has basically been Vettori vs Sri Lanka.

Yup that is the problem with NZ, they can put together about half a team of top class players but the other 5 or 6 are just club standard players.

I think NZ really need to get some good fast bowlers. Bowlers like O Brian can't get wickets, I would love to see Shane Bond coming back.

Another good win by SL which only shows that how this Sangakara and his men are playing. SL has totally justifies their position as the second best team in the world right now.

SL have pretty much got all the ingredients to be a very, very good team, fast bowlers, spinners, solid middle order. I think there main problem is the opening slots, Tharanga only one I can see at the moment.
