India won 4th ODI Against Australia After Hard Work

When MS Dhoni won the toss of 4th ODI against Australia at Chandigarh in India then Dhoni's face was shining to won the match and decided bat first to prove that. And that was the result India won by eight(8) runs after real hard contest against Australia.

India were come back in the game largely by their spinners, Kartik and Harbhajan Singh, balled with maintaining superb line and length as well as got some important wickets of Hayden, Clarke and Hodge. They built the pressure on Hodge by denying him singles which kept Symonds away from the strike. Irfan Pathan was also difficult to get away and RP Singh's return after a miserable start was superb.

Earlier India started their batting quite sensibly not to loosing any wickets early. Though the runs did not came flourishingly but it was the base to go as close as 300 runs. Ganguly finished with 41 and Tendulkar made 79 who was initially looking out of place as the fast men swung the ball at will. He just could not lay bat on ball - Lee was especially threatening - but despite two close lbw shouts and a possible inside edge that was turned down by the umpire, Tendulkar did not give up. And in later Dhoni and Robin Uthappa came home with a bang. Finally they scored 291/4 to through a challenge for Australia.

To chase the target of 291 Australia started with swing of bat to make good use of power play and the did it well enough to chase it and gave Australia a terrific start as they raced to 106 for 1 from 15 overs. Hayden and Symonds both clinched their third consecutive fifty with good knocks. Hayden had built a solid base with 92 at a run a ball but the pressure began to mount when he departed. But Symonds was handling it quite sensibly. When Symonds bowled out by a dream delivery of RP Sing then the game was tougher for Asutralia. Before that Ponting was stumped by a full in length delivery of Pathan, slanting away from Ponting who leans forward to drive. The bat comes outside the line and the ball threads the bat and pad gap. Dhoni gathers and whips the bails off in flash. The line belongs to the umpire and he was out. Ponting stood there for a long time, unhappy at the verdict even as he walked up the stairs to reach the dressing room. It was a decision made by the third umpire.

Thats way India alive in seven match series by trailing 2-1 in four. MS Dhoni was judged as man of the match for his quick, important 50* from just 35 balls. The fifth game at Vadodara on Thursday.

Coming up India Vs Australia ODI, 2007/08

Just One and half a day to go to kick off hard rocking Australia tour of India. In this tour Australia will take part on seven ODI and one Twenty20 matches against recent world cup twenty20 champion, India.

On the eve of this tournament Australia already arrived in India and Ricky Ponting, the captain of Australia in his first press conference of the tour was all about pressure - pressure on India given their recent successes, the pressure of accommodating senior players into a settled side, the pressure of the one-day format, the on-field pressure typically exerted by the Australian style of cricket.

He(Ponting) told the press at a Bangalore hotel on Thursday that India definitely deserved twenty20 and they thoroughly deserve to come back as champions but that's finished now. "We've got to look at the seven games we have here in India and we know what we have to do to win on the subcontinent. If anything now, a bit of the pressure will come back on the Indians," He added.

India add their three most senior and master player, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly as well as India paceman Zaheer Khan also added to the squad who was promoted two rungs to the elite category in the Indian cricket board's new central contracts announced on Thursday.

So there was a question on the press that What impact would the return of India's three senior batsmen - Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly - have on the team and the series? "Three very good and experienced players coming back will obviously add a bit to the Indian team. But the one thing that stood out for all of us, looking at the Indian team throughout the Twenty20, was the amount of youthfulness they had in the team. It's been well-documented that they fielded well all tournament and I think it's a fresh outlook on the game. The thing for us is that we've play against those guys a lot [Dravid, Ganguly, Tendulkar] and we should know their strengths and weaknesses very well. If anything, it'll probably make it a lot easier for us to play India with those guys in the team." He(Ponting) said.

"India are the world Twenty20 champions, we're the test and the world 50-over champions and we've 50-over cricket coming up." He added.

He also said that if we can score 200 in a Twenty20 game why can't we score 400 in a 50-over game? and if we get some really good conditions here we'll see some good scores.

So there will be certainly a good cricket coming up.
