The cat and mouse game continues in the India v Australia series when Australia made a strong comeback in the 4th ODI to draw level the series at 2-2. With 4 more games to go, it surely appears the series is set to provide a fascinating finish.
Australia’s total of 250 (White 62, Ponting 52; Nehra 3-37) was enough to beat India (Tendulkar 40, Watson 3-29; Bollinger 3-38) by 24 runs in Delhi.
With both these teams going neck in neck for the top spot in ICC world ODI ranking, its going to be a battle of nerves in the games ahead. With a depleted bowling attack, Australia would, at no cost, be prepared to give up its #1 position to India as was evident in this game. India at times appears too rusty. If the heroics of Yuvraj go missing, the team struggles. The youngsters- Kohli, Raina, Jadeja are not proving their worth on the big stage. One or two guys can’t win a game everyday. The entire team needs to come good.
As it’s rightly said, ‘A team is as good as its weakest player’, Indian youngsters should start to perform in pressure situations. If not, the glory would remain, as has always been- a distant dream.
