Hussey's a good player and Ravi Jadeja coming along fine
The Cricket Watcher's Journal —
Australia vs India 2009-10 ODI series, Third ODI, Ferozeshah Kotla, Delhi Scorecard At the end of the first innings, the score on the board shows Australia at 229/5. This is a good score. Make no mistake of that. It could have been 20-30 up but still a good score. The pitch turned out as anticipated. Punter won the toss, much to his relief, and this time he wasn't experimenting and straightaway opted to bat. Both openers began as they should have and Australia was off to a start which should have seen them finish at around ...

India making a hash of it

Australia vs India 2009-10 ODI series, Third ODI, Ferozeshah Kotla, Delhi Scorecard I type just as MSD walks in to replace Gautam Gambhir who was bowled playing impatiently to Nathan Hauritz. Trying too much too soon. India are three wickets down for 53. I mentioned that the Australian team will field a little more tigerishly than the Indians did to supplement the pressure created by line and length stuff on this pitch. The impatience of Sachin and Gambhir were resultant of that in combination with tight bowling. Sehwag got ...
Sehwag didn't quite matter at Delhi but Yuvi and Dhoni did.

Australia vs India 2009-10 ODI series, Third ODI, Ferozeshah Kotla, Delhi Scorecard We now are engrossed in watching two instinctively attacking players, two young pillars of the team, attempting to play according to the needs of the situation and trying to win it from here. We take it up from that statement from the previous blog - the two young pillars won it from there on a difficult pitch and a determined Australian side. Yuvraj had emerged as the powerhouse of the Indian ODI team a few years ago. For me, Dhoni has ...
MSD and Yuvraj see India through
Watching Cricket in my life... —
Fantastic innings from MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh took India through to the winning line in the Delhi ODI against Australia. A big partnership made sure that there were no hiccups at the end of the innings. The two (coincidentally ranked No.1 and 2 in the ICC Rankings) played a wonderfully paced innings which took the match away from the Aussies. The Aussies had packed their bowling so much that the batting depended on Ricky Ponting, Shane Watson and Michael Hussey heavily. That they responded well meant that the wickets were in hand when the slog overs ...
Ponting and reading of pitches
Cricket Burble —
... We all get the reading of pitches wrong from time to time, but Ricky Ponting has the unfortunate knack of doing it publicly and often. His view was that 220 would be a good score in the 3rd ODI against India, and his batsmen seemed to work towards that perfectly. Unfortunately it wasn't good enough as India ambled to victory by 6 wickets! ...
