Ricky Ponting is under a scanner as his last century way back somewhere in 2010. Adding to the injury, the team’s performance has not been upto the mark. So Ponting is likely to face the wrath and might be axed. Skipper Clarke needs to be patient and continue the revival efforts for the team. David Warner had silenced the critics by playing a good innings against New Zealand.
India is riding high with a full strength batting line up and in form batsmen like Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Sachin and Laxman. Above all they have the inspiring captaincy of MS Dhoni. The seeds of good future performances were sowed in the last two series down under. India was always close for a test series win but ultimately things went the other way round.
MS Dhoni is aware that they shouldn’t take the out of form Australian team lightly. But at the same time he agrees that this is their best chance ever to upstage Australia down under. With the comeback of Zaheer Khan, there is a little betterment in the bowling department. Playing 5 seamers will never be an ideal deal for Indians as they have to rely on their strength of spin.
Bouncy tracks of Australia will create problems for Indian batsmen but we also can’t write off the fact that couple of previous wins for India came on the bounciest of Australian pitches. Things are even stevens at this moment. Let us see which team can handle the pressure well and come out as a true champion! Enjoy every bit of India Vs Australia 2012 live streaming online.
