Battle of the Champs

I`m very Happy to follow up this job since my yesterday`s prediction was 100% successful :)

Today, the big match going to be between Australians and Indians!
Both the teams are more rely on their Batting, compared to their bowling skills. India has a strong long Batting line up as Gambhir, Kohli, Raina, Dhoni, Yuvraj and Rohit all are in form. No matter they lose wickets in particular intervals, they will go on with the crackers. I suspect a change in the openers of India, as he was so good with Australia, Shewag might come back to open up the innings.
In the other hand, their bowling is really a worry for them when the opponents are Australians. Last match, dhoni played 2 full time spinners and changed the game with that choice, but if he chose the same team today, then that will be a bad decision of him. Unlike England, Aussies can bat quite good against spin. Mr. Cricket, Michel hussey will keep the spin with ease, Watson,Warner also plays good comparatively against spin. We have seen number of occassions where Harbajan was not a mystery for Australians. Therefore india needs some spinner with the ability to confuse the batsman, as what Saeed Ajmal did when Aussies toured UAE. So the better pick today for india would be Ashwin as he will be handy with the bat as well.


 I expect Zaheer to play instead Dinda, as he doesn`t have that much experience against an experienced Aussie XI. Dhoni : Common buddy, how many more times you gonna back rohit? try Manoj tiwary as well :).

Now, Aussies, my favourites for this T20 tournament and all the time :). Their strength can be written in one word so far with their performances in this tournament. That is indeed `Watson`.

 He is in drastic form with the bowl and bat. when he comes to ball at any circumstances, that golden arm of him doing much charm in the ground. He took Irish captain in the first ball of the innings, and against WI, took Chris Gayle. Bailey is totally depend on his vice captain. He was named Man of the match in their both matches. Apart from him, David warner and Michael Hussey doing their job fantastically. the problem for aussies will arise if they lose the first 3 cheaply in the early overs. so far, their IPL heroes, Cameron white and Dan Christian didn`t find the form. They have to go numbers with the bat in order to win with a team like india. David hussy would be handy with his all round performances and he played well in IPL and knows the cons and pros of Indians. Bailey has to connect with the bat and their bowling has to improve alot. Inexperienced Pat Cummins is very expensive with the bowl. Christian and `Chinaman` Hogg still searching for lengths. Only Starc and Maxwell doing their job well. If they dont produce early blows to India, then you kno the rest of the story :).

As an Aussie fan, I would really like to see them winning. and that is possible with the first three buddies firing all over the ground. Hope for the best :)
