Sydney has been grassy for the last 2 years and this time too' date=' it has some serious grass on it and some extra bounce.[/quote'] It was vs Pakistan but Hauritz took 5 wickets in the 4th innings to bowl them to a win. Against England, it was more a case of poor batting from a line up down on confidence. The pitch wasn't a minefield. England scored plenty on it (more than 600 I think).

Tough call this... last week if he was ready, Harris was a definite starter. Not so sure now only because they have to knock someone out to get him in. Saying that he should play and based on the pitch it should be at the expense of the spinner Lyon (he is not going to present any difficulty for the Indian bats from 1 -11. Watson will not play in Sydney. He said yesterday he will not be ready till at least Perth. I would say though if there is any possibility, he will be picked to bolster the brittle batting int he top order

i had just seen a match at SCG before Big Bash started and pitch had some serious grass.

Lyon should be rested. He was pretty mediocre. Clarke can always turn his arm if the need arises. Harris will surely play the next match. Aus will be displaying some serious fire-power:dance:
and then Cummins may come back at Perth:nervous:

Hope this goes in same way as Tait will play in Perth during last tour down under :winky:
There is more chance of me being selected than Tait. He is totally the opposite direction to that being taken by Aus selectors in the past 12+ months

If they play Harris' date=' Hilfenhaus, Pattinson and Siddle we are ****ed.[/quote'] This lineup is almost certain IMO. Will rely on Harris being absolutely right to go and a little on the pitch but there is little doubt that is the line up. While this bowling may present some problems for the current Indian batting line up based on some inconsistent results, it is Australia's batting that is key. I don't think Indian bowling is anythin less than the Aust line up (just need to bowl a little more consistent legnth in the second test - sure that will happen), but our batting is very brittle att he moment and India probably only need one or two to stand up to put a lot of pressure on the home side.

Are there any changes to be expected in the batting lineup ? Save for Ponting,Hussey, Hilfenhaus and Pattinson, none of the other bats reached double figures in the 2nd innings.

I wouldnt pick Harris to be honest, he looked lame and underdone in the big bash a couple of nights ago. I know its a very different form of cricket but he just looked off... He wasnt bowling with his usual aggression and he looked to have dropped about 5-7 kmh and he wasnt really thinking about his bowling and got spanked around the park :( I dont like Marsh either... This would be my team (realising Watson is still injured), but it would never happen: 1. Warner 2. Haddin (he needs something to get his form back, opening just might work) 3. Ponting 4. Clarke 5. M.Hussey 6. D.Hussey (in fantastic form at the moment) 7. Ferguson (reallllllllly like him) 8. Pattinson 9. Siddle 10. Lyon 11. Hilfenhaus
