Post match analysis: Ind vs Aus, 4th ODI,MCG, 2008

we won damn it by 5 wickets and 5 overs in spare.. AGAINST AUSSIES IN AUSSIELAND.. after losing toss on flat track.. quit crying dude... :D

[Mr. Wicket]

India made heavy weather of getting 160, but keep in mind that Saint Gilchrist, Hayden, Ponting, Hussey, Clarke, Symonds and Haddin couldn't even get 160 in the first place. Puts a lot in perspective.

IKP should bat at #3 no matter what the situation is.

Laugh all you want but IKP has better technique than GG and UV and that's quite funny too.

I don't think semding Pathan at #3 was a mistake by Dhoni. Obviously he wanted to protect Gambhir from a rampaging Lee firing everything over 147kmph. He must have thought that Pathan could handle him better with his superior batting technique. And he did so, by not giving Lee a wicket in his first spell. Gambhir eventually was dismissed by Lee but that was much later in the inning. I thought it was a sensible move.

I think only the two of us thought along those lines.

only if tyuvraj comes back to his old self then this makes a good team.. Only time I see probem is when we encounter sporting pitch and some tighter technique batsmen are needed

Yes. Thats when we'll miss the likes of a Dravid.

Sending IP at 3 wasn't a mistake (although it was a given that he would get out to a lefty), but it does tell you what the team management thinks of Gambhir's technique.
