India Vs Australia 1st ODI, Banglore - Match abandoned

Match abandoned due to wet outfield 50 overs Australia 307 for 7 (Clarke 130, Haddin 69, Sreesanth 3-55) v India 9 for 1

 

Michael Clarke returned to the scene of his triumphant debut and finessed another magnificent century, but rain then played spoilsport in the opening match of the Future Cup. Australia recovered from a Sreesanth-induced wobbly spell to post an imposing 307 for 7 and Mitchell Johnson then sent Sachin Tendulkar packing for a blob before the heavens opened and the prospect of a gripping contest was washed away.

India Vs Australia 1st ODI Banglore, India

 

Can the Indians repeat their T-20 heroics or will Australia remind everyone who the World Champions are in the 50 overs game?

 

                                              

 

Even before the euphoria of their Twenty20 World Cup triumph has settled down, India go into the first match of a high-voltage One-day cricket series against Australia here on Saturday with both the champion teams talking tough and promising to fight fire with fire.

India have a new captain who must motivate his team for the first of the dozen ODIs they will play over the next six weeks. Mahendra Singh Dhoni also has to figure out just how much India need to switch gears from their successful Twenty20 approach.

 

The off-field mind games have set the tone for an enthralling seven-match series which will be a test of character for India's new captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Australia is still smarting from the 15-run semi-final defeat to India in the Twenty20 World Cup and they have revenge on their mind was made obvious by skipper Ricky Ponting, who challenged the hosts to do an encore in the series.
