Warm-Up match - Champions Trophy - Aus v India - Cardiff

Another warm-up game, and nice weather.

India win the toss and decide to bat.

India name 15, and can choose as they go .. Aus have named 11, with no Clarke.

Was a decent toss to win, and after India were 65-5, the game looked like being a short one.

Dhoni, is a fantastic captain/batter, and quickly changed the complection of the match, scoring a vital 91, which, with Kartiks' 140, saw India get to 330 - a very decent score, on a smallish ground.

Aus completely folded, and have a few worries. Clarke was missed, but, it wasn't a 65 all-out pitch

The support for India is amazing, and most games, will feel like home ones for them. They can definitely win the whole thing.

3rd Test - India v Australia - Mohali - Day 1

Aussie with a few players missing, following some rifts in the camp.

Pre-toss :

India 2.3

Aus 7.0

Draw 2.4

At least, thats what it was, a few days before, but, steady rain, in the lead-up, gave draw backers considerable heart.

Day 1, was eventually lost, without a ball bowled :

India 3.55

Aus 12.5

Draw 1.56


Much more rain, and Draw backers in clover.
