Australia's New look cricket side!!!
September 24th 2008 04:26
I know there will be folks in India who will be looking at the Australian cricket team and wondering just who half of them are. This will be the first time the Australian team are in India without the likes of McGrath, Warne, Langer and Gilchrist and some of you will be thinking with so many new faces in the side will they have the same All conquoring auror that has seen sides capitulate psychologically before the series has started.
Personally I think the Australia is ripe for the picking particularly away from home and without the talented Andrew Symonds in the squad. The batting will still have Matthew Hayden, Michael Clarke, Michael 'Mr Cricket' Hussey and Ricky Ponting (with a point to prove as his record in India is dreadful) but the once menacing bowling attack looks vulnerable.
Sure they still have Brett Lee and the ever reliable Stuart Clark. But I think there are still questions over whether Mitchell Johnston is test material and there are four debutant bowlers in the squad including two new spinners - Jason Krejza and Bryce McGain - McGain is particularly interesting in that he is 36 years old (Australia's oldest debutant since Bob Holland back in the mid 80's)
All in all it should be an entralling series in India with many names probably being involved in their last India v Australia contest. In recent times the competition has been fierce and I think Sachin Tendulkar is right on the money when he says that this is now the biggest rivalry in international cricket
