Mickey Arthur "M Clarke is going down to London for treatment [on back injury] and we'll make a decision on him later this week" Worrying..

I wouldn't be surprised if Clarke sits it out... he's always shown Tests to be his priority.

I actually think Australia have quite a good team, particularly in the bowling. McKay and Starc are fine one-day bowlers. There are weaknesses, but no more than any other team in my view...

Cheers Pete.

India 170/5 in the warm-up match after Starc dismissed Vijay and Kohli early. Karthik and Dhoni getting it together now though.

Sure, we'll miss Clarke but I still think we'll do well enough and should make the last 4.

Only England & Sri Lanka in our pool Breaker, I fancy both Antipodean sides to go through

Yeah, the Black Caps are looking very good.
You must be pleased with their recent ODI performances.

The trouble with supporting the Black Caps Breaker is that pretty much any time they do something good, you know that sometime soon they're going to blow it.

Ya thats true. NZ performance has improved a lot. Guptill is batting really well. Their bowling unit is also clicking at the right moment. Looking at India's performance in the first two warmup matches, side looks to be a balanced one...But as per the trend India's performance in the big tournament after IPL is just pathetic...I have my finger crossed. Before the NZ series I was wondering about Eng to be the favourites but their performance at home conditions is not really good. I hope they will bounce back...

Nice win, Kumar.

Geez... that was quick!

I was wondering a fight back even after 2 down but am very happy India won...

Big game on tonight. The pressure is already on both sides. Our bowling needs to finish the job it starts and we need more discipline from our batsmen after the dismal performance in the last warm-up match.
