Will Men in Blue trounce Kangaroos??????

After the first round exile from Champions Trophy 2009, the MEN in BLUE i.e. TEAM INDIA is all set to face KANGAROOS i.e. AUSTRALIA in the upcoming ODI series at home. INDO-AUS face off has its own charm.Its my guarantee that you will get a chance to watch exciting thrilling and cliffhanging cricket.I think this series will give ODI a direction as there were lots of talks regarding scrapping the ODIs.

Let's come to the team that has been selected for the series.Kudos to Sehwag and Yuvraj to make a comeback into the team after the injury.But the most stunning decision that the selectors had taken is DROPPING RAHUL DRAVID drom the series.He is the only cricketer who had performed reasonably well in the matches he got after getting selected in the ODI team.He played five matches and there he scored 180 runs at the average of 36.And moreover he did well as a fielder standing on his favourite area that is slips and took some spectacuar catches.I don't know whether this move was from Dhoni or from the selectors?I don't think Dhoni or the selectors have any answer to this question. OK whatever may be the team but I haven't ever thought that Dravid will be dropped until he announce his retirement. But this is not new. This had happened to many cricketing legends and Dravid had joined in their list.

Looking into the team, it has good combination of experience and youth.There will be huge expectations from Sehwag, Sachin and Yuvraj who will have to play the key role if Dhoni wants to add another series victory in his kitty.The bowling department would be led by Ashish Nehra followed by Ishant Sharma and Harbhajan Singh. As we all know Nehra is looking fantabulous since his comeback into the Indian team. There is a slight problem with the form of Ishant. If Ishant gets his form back against OZ then it would ensure our victory against Oz.If you compare these two teams I would say India has slight edge over them.Although they have Ponting, Hussey in their ranks but I am sure they will gonna miss Hayden, Gilchrist, McGrath and Warne ifor the big time as they used to play major role in the victory of OZ anywhere around the globe.So it's time for TEAM INDIA to pull up their socks and give cent percent on the field rather than giving cent percent off the field.I hope u all guys mean what I meant to say. If India can implement their strategies properly on the field and give their cent percent on the field then I don't think anybody can stop INDIA to regain its NUMERO UNO position..

CHEERS FOR TEAM INDIA......
