Its the Indians versus the Aussies again. The World Cup defeats are history and with a depleted bowling attack Ricky Ponting will hope his batters are ready to chase down huge totals and his bowlers and fielders take every chance that comes their way

India vs Australia
Second ODI

Left-arm chinaman bowler Bradd Hogg was easily the pick of the Aussie bowlers in the one-dayer against India at Gwalior. He summoned his complete array of deliveries; looping the ball, turning it, varying the pace and slowed the run-rate down even as Sachin Tendulkar was looking to go after the bowling.

He was unlucky not to have got Tendulkar's wicket when he was on 94. The ball pitched on middle and hit him in line with the stumps. Umpire Neil Mallender of England turned down the appeal.
