I prefer to read the commentary instead. And both the CI website and CA website have listed 11 players with a 12th man. Even if it is a 13-a-side match, India does not have more than 5 bowlers in the line-up.

[MCcricket]

Vinay Kumar is being Hammered, every over a boundary or more , 4.25 runs per over for him.

[peterparker]

he deserves it..i hope they have asked yadav and ishant to sit out...better decision if that is the case..

[peterparker]

because ishant has already toured here once..so he does not need match..same is zaheer..yadav..get him bowls 10-15 overs..then let all these trundlers get hit out of park

He is a good batsman technically better than Hughes with what I saw of him in one day games for WA.

If Ishant wants to bowl only few overs why should he quit after 5.3 overs..he would have completed the over. This is what CA commentry says "Sharma has broken down and Ohja will complete the over"

Absolutely - he's a joy to watch. Really wristy player with great technique & temperament. Brings up his 100, now taking Ojha to the sword with back to back sixes! Shame he'll probably never get a gig for Australia, as he's almost 31 (didn't make his first class debut until he was 28).

Chairman's XI 2/231 Robinson 115 Cooper 80

But what is the problem...He still can play 5 years of international cricket if he does well once given a chance. How can they play Hughes ahead of him? Watson can easily come down the order and Warner and Robinson can open.

I personally have no problem with it (look at Hussey & Hayden), but it seems the selectors are leaning towards youth these days. I would say Ed Cowan is ahead of Robinson in the pecking order of Australian openers. Both of them have average first class records (average in the mid-thirties), but have been making runs lately. Batsmen with average first class records can still succeed though (Marsh & Clarke).
