T20 - India v Australia - Rajkot

A great match-up .. 2 v high class teams.

Maybe India a little stronger on paper ..

Pre-toss, India 1.67 .. India win toss, and decide to field.

India 1.69

Aus run line, about 165

No Clarke or Warner for Aus, as expected .. Some really new players for Aus .. Putting pressure on established players.

Love the balance of the Indian side, and have backed them.

 

Some rain around, CMM 1.06 Yes, but, no problems with the start.

 

Here we go :
