Bradman99 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The ODI squad is: Ricky Ponting (captain), TAS (34) Michael Hussey (vice captain), WA (34) Doug Bollinger, NSW (28) Nathan Hauritz, NSW (27) Jon Holland, VIC (22) Ben Hilfenhaus, TAS (26) James Hopes, QLD (30) Mitchell Johnson, WA (27) Brett Lee, NSW (32) Shaun Marsh, WA (26) Tim Paine, TAS (24) Peter Siddle, VIC (24) Adam Voges, WA (30) Shane Watson, NSW (28) Cameron White, VIC (26) Commenting on the squad, NSP Chairman, Andrew Hilditch, said: “We’re really pleased with the progress the ODI squad has made recently. We do have four players unavailable for this tour due to injury. Michael Clarke is continuing his rehabilitation from back soreness and Mike Hussey will be the vice captain for this tour. Brad Haddin continues his rehabilitation from finger surgery, following the injury he picked up during the Ashes series, and Tim Paine, following a fine ICC Champions Trophy, is selected as wicket keeper. Callum Ferguson continues to consult specialists over the knee injury he picked up during the ICC Champions Trophy final and is not available for this tour. Nathan Bracken is also unavailable due to a knee injury. “Shaun Marsh returns after recovering from hamstring injury, having been an important and successful member of the one day side before that injury. “Jon Holland is in the squad as we wanted to take the opportunity to give a young left arm finger spinner exposure both to the Australian team set up and Indian conditions. He has impressed in the recent Australia ‘A’ series against Pakistan and in his time at CA’s Centre of Excellence. If an opportunity arises on tour we feel he will equip himself very well at international level. “The NSP is delighted with Australia’s recent success at the ICC Champions Trophy, which came off the back of a very solid ODI series performance against England in England. To reclaim our number one ICC world ranking was recognition of this squad’s recent achievements but we recognise we have to continue to improve and to establish a winning culture within this young group of players on tough tours, like this, to India. We expect the Indian series to be extremely testing, but the young squad is looking forward to the challenge.†To be honest it's a bit weakened, will be interesting to see how it goes. Link to comment
Temujin Khaghan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 i think the bowling attack is decent Link to comment
SachDan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Looks like a good team to me. Still we'll thrash them :winky: Link to comment
Desi Cartman Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 M Clarke's absence might cost the Aussies Link to comment
Indianfan_Hyd Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 We really cant predict how our super stars turnup for the matches.... Like in Lanka and SA if they are chaotic, uninterested and clueless then Aussies will role over us... If not it will be a gr8 series... Link to comment
Lord Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 good squad.nice to see Marsh back. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 M Clarke's absence might cost the Indians corrected. Have you been following his strike rates? It is in the 60s for the year 2009. He has unnecessarily broken the momentum of Aussies several times in this year. Most notorious was where he made 98 runs against NZ at MCG. He opened the innings and dismissed in 48th over.

Sooda Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Good to see Marsh back yeah. Whatever happened to Jacques? Is he injured? he seemed like a good opener. What would a FULL trensgth Aus ODI side be then- Marsh,Watson,Ponting,Clarke,Ferguson,Hussey,Haddin,Johnson,Lee,Siddle,Hauritz Or would Cam White be in there somewhere Link to comment
Lord Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 ^ he'll replace Hauritz as premier spin bowler:haha: Link to comment
Don Sharma Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Without their two best players of spin bowling - Clarke and Haddin - they will struggle provided we play two spinners and Bhajji stops bowling flat and tosses the ball a little more. Link to comment
Lord Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Without their two best players of spin bowling - Clarke and Haddin - they will struggle provided we play two spinners and Bhajji stops bowling flat and tosses the ball a little more. yeah we should prepare turners n look to play 2 even 3 spinners to get them out cheaply.our pacers r useless anyways Link to comment
SachDan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 corrected. Have you been following his strike rates? It is in the 60s for the year 2009. He has unnecessarily broken the momentum of Aussies several times in this year. Most notorious was where he made 98 runs against NZ at MCG. He opened the innings and dismissed in 48th over. He's their best player against spinners. So Aussies will definitely miss him under Indian conditions. Also Clarke's left armers could have been useful too. Link to comment
Sachinism Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The batting doesn't look as strong, but Watto has been in good form and White has scored more runs lately than he used to. Link to comment
Show_stopper Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 we're losing this..I don't think we have the bowling attack to win atm. Link to comment
Lord Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 we're losing this..I don't think we have the bowling attack to win atm. unless we two spinners n they bowl well n part timers too do well:(( Link to comment
gaurav92 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 BTW Shane Watson plays for Queensland and not NSW and moving towards the talking point, it looks a decent side with the mixture of youth and experience and they have certainly got a lot of potential.But the point is u deliver when the team needs it, i think we may just have an edge over them but never right them off they are fighters Link to comment
Lord Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 BTW Shane Watson plays for Queensland and not NSW he has recently moved to NSW and moving towards the talking point, it looks a decent side with the mixture of youth and experience and they have certainly got a lot of potential.But the point is u deliver when the team needs it, i think we may just have an edge over them but never right them off they are fighters it'll be a close series.we have the edge only if the wickets r turners n we play 2 spinners Link to comment
gaurav92 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 he has recently moved to NSW So will he play for NSW in the Champions League T20, :dontknow: Link to comment
champ Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 good team .. looks very refreshing .. not many aging players .. young blokes to look out for .. india has to get the bowling right .. my bowling attac would be surely 2 seamers , 2 spinners .. and part timers can do roll over a few overs.. 3 seamers is just not on for us Link to comment
Lord Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 So will he play for NSW in the Champions League T20' date=' :dontknow:[/quote'] no because he was not a part of NSW in big bash wen they won.similarly Murali Kartik has moved to Somerset but is not part of thier squad for CLT20 Link to comment
