(harris,watto,marsh,cummings) and wrong thinking to drop khawaja and retain ponting.. (many people are talking abt dropping khawaja lmao..i can tell u not many young batsmen would ve survived in south africa and score fifty like he did hughes being ahead of this robinson now and warner before johnson not being dropped ,top in from players playing in lower order i remeb aussie used to play there top batsman on top

Late gift for Ponting as nemesis Sharma laid low by ankle complaint More... Late gift for Ponting as nemesis Sharma laid low by ankle complaint Andrew Wu December 19, 2011 art-353-B22-20Ishant-20Sharma-20ld-20thin-200x0.jpgSidelined Ishant Sharma rests his injured ankle. Photo: Graham Tidy AS RICKY PONTING celebrates his 37th birthday today, the Indian quick who has troubled him more than most throughout his career, Ishant Sharma, continues to be troubled by an ankle injury threatening to derail his preparations for the first Test. There are rumours Sharma's troublesome left ankle is requiring cortisone injections and could be so serious he will be sent home early. Sharma, who failed to bowl in the nets yesterday, has been advised by India's medical staff to rest until tomorrow, which could rob him of his final chance to get some overs under his belt before Boxing Day. The paceman bowled just 33 balls on Thursday before abruptly leaving the field. Sharma can enter the match tomorrow as the three-day Chairman's XI fixture in Canberra, starting today, is not an official first-class fixture, but he is at the mercy of the toss. With this match crucial in the Test preparations for Australia's top order, the home side is likely to bat first should the toss fall their way. Sharma picked up the injury during the series against England in August but recovered for last month's three-Test battle against West Indies, where he claimed five wickets at 67. Sharma's interrupted preparation will be a fillip for the Ponting, who has lost his wicket to the Indian quick six times in eight Tests. India's senior quick Zaheer Khan bowled in the nets yesterday and is expected to play. The left-armer, recovering from ankle surgery that sidelined for four months, returned to play three weeks ago. Injury to either Khan or Sharma would be a massive blow to India's hopes this summer of winning their first series in Australia, as they are clearly the most experienced quicks in the tourists' pace attack. Umesh Yadav has played just two Tests, while Vinay Kumar is uncapped. Yadav claimed 3-39 in the two-day Chairman's game last week but Kumar, the owner of 241 first-class scalps, returned figures of 1-89 and conceded more than five an over. Kumar, 27, will bowl to the likes of David Warner, Phillip Hughes, Usman Khawaja and Ed Cowan in the Chairman's match and is likely on standby to make his Test debut if Sharma is unable to play on Boxing Day. ''I don't think there's pressure for me, my job is to go out there and play to my strengths,'' said Kumar, who cites the spectacular debut of South Africa's Vernon Philander as inspiration. ''I'm bowling around 135km/h consistently and this is more than enough in these conditions to get extra bounce and at that speed if you can swing the ball, any batsman will find it difficult to play.'' The good news for India's bowling arsenal is veteran Khan was working up to a strong pace in the nets yesterday. Zaheer, 33, has been hampered by hamstring and ankle complaints and has never completed a Test series on Australian soil. India: M.S. Dhoni ©, V. Sehwag (vc), R. Ashwin, R. Dravid, G. Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, V. Kohli, V.V.S. Laxman, A. Mithun, P.P. Ojha, A.M. Rahane, W. Saha, I. Sharma, R.G. Sharma, S. Tendulkar, R.V. Kumar, U. Yadav. Chairman's XI: D. Warner ©, J. Behrendorff, D. Bollinger, C. Boyce, E. Cowan, T. Cooper, A. Doolan, P. George, P. Hughes, U. Khawaja, J. Lalor, T. Ludeman, B. Oakley, plus Canberra-based player.

Sharma, Hughes receive selection blows as delayed tour game starts More... Sharma, Hughes receive selection blows as delayed tour game starts December 19, 2011 After a rain-delayed start to the tour game between India and the Chairman's XI, team selection may prove more revealing than play. India won the toss and reached 1-51 after 16 overs before rain stopped play. Poor weather had already pushed back the start of the three-day practice match against a Chairman's XI in Canberra. Virender Sehwag started with two quick boundaries, but was out for a run-a-ball 12 with the score on 20 in just the fourth over. Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, who both scored well in the two-day game here last week, were rested from the side. More importantly, crucial fast bowler Ishant Sharma was ruled out with an ankle injury and doubt is growing over his availability for the Boxing Day Test. Speculation is growing that India will call in a cover player for the injured fast bowler. India was hoping Sharma would pass a fitness test after sitting out Monday and be available to play on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, itÃÔ clear his ankle injury is worse than the team has been letting on. Sharma completed just 5.3 overs in the opening tour game against a ChairmanÃÔ XI last week and is in serious doubt for the first Test against Australia starting on Boxing Day in Melbourne. Veteran left-arrm medium-pacer Zaheer Khan will play his first cricket match of the tour. Khan has played only two first-class matches since being injured early in India's tour of England last winter. Australia gave the first hint that out-of-form opener Phil Hughes is out of the Boxing Day Test team, by listing him to bat at number four, with Tasmanian Ed Cowan joining David Warner at the top of the order and Usman Khawaja listed to bat at three. The ChairmanÃÔ team will bowl first, giving discarded Test player Doug Bollinger a chance to prove himself against the Indian batting line-up - which still boasts the likes of Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman and MS Dhoni. The first session was rained out at Manuka Oval. Teams: ChairmanÃÔ XI: David Warner (capt), Ed Cowan, Usman Khawaja, Philip Hughes, Tom Cooper, Alex Doolan, Tim Ludeman, Cameron Boyce, Josh Lalor, Jason Behrendorff, Jon Holland. 12th man: Doug Bollinger. India: MS Dhoni (capt), Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, Virat Kohli, Wriddhiman Saha, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Abhimanyu Mithun. 12th man: Pragyan Ojha. Umpires: John Ward, Mick Martell Match Referee: Peter Marshall

Rain leaves jumpy India in dark mood Rain leaves jumpy India in dark mood Andrew Wu December 20, 2011 DUNCAN Fletcher, India's head coach, is no stranger to ruffling Australian feathers and yesterday he was involved in a feisty discussion that saw India consider abandoning its tour match in Canberra. A potential diplomatic furore threatened to erupt yesterday morning after an official from India's jumpy touring party confronted Manuka Oval curator Brad van Dam amid fears the weather and poor light would interfere with the team's Boxing Day Test preparations. Worried after nearly nine millimetres of rain fell in the hours leading up to yesterday's start, the Board of Control for Cricket in India official approached van Dam at 9.30am wanting to know his assessment of how much play would be likely this week. ''He wanted to know exactly what's happening now because the Indian team wants to look at changing venues, hop on planes, get to Melbourne and get their preparation going,'' van Dam said last night. In response the curator told the Indian representative: ''It's only 9, just relax, it's not that drastic. There's still days to go and there'll be cricket played today, everything's ready to go. Just got to wait for the rain to stop.'' The bemused curator added last night: ''He was quite frantic about needing to know now but I said we just have to wait.'' An hour later, Fletcher spoke to van Dam and was told play would start at 1.30pm after groundsmen had cleared the overnight rain from the playing surface. The incident, had it escalated, would have marred the start of India's tour of Australia - the sub-continental giant's first on these shores since the bitter ''Monkeygate'' series four years ago. It's not the first time Fletcher, the mastermind behind England's Ashes success in 2005, has been embroiled in a controversy with Australians. His cheeky wink at Ricky Ponting from the balcony at Trent Bridge after the batsman was run out by substitute fielder Gary Pratt saw the then Australian captain launch a tirade at the English dressing room. During the 2009 Ashes series, Fletcher, who was by then no longer coach of England, wrote a newspaper column criticising Ponting over Australian concerns regarding perceived gamesman ship from the host in the closing stages of a thrilling draw in Cardiff. It is unclear whether Fletcher was the architect of yesterday's episode but van Dam said, ''he's the head coach, I suppose everything comes from the head coach''. But Fletcher was far from agitated in his discussions with the curator. ''He was fine. He was [wearing his] game face, ready to go,'' van Dam said. ''He said nothing about leaving. He wanted to know about the weather, if the game was to be started.'' Van Dam, however, believed the BCCI had taken a heavy-handed approach to what he believed to be a ''storm in a tea cup''. ''That's not very good. You've had a good two days of games and another three days worth of training and everything's been great, we've done everything for you and then I hear this, coming from this guy, about looking at booking flights and getting out of here purely because of the weather,'' van Dam said. ''That's what cricket's about. You've got to play around the weather.'' http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/rain-leaves-jumpy-india-in-dark-mood-20111219-1p2j6.html
