Fixures of Australia tour of India, 2007/08
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.
