India vs Australia 4th ODI Live Streaming

India won the toss and elected to field

Toss: India have won the toss and they will bowl first. Sehwag is fit to play but Gambhir isn’t. Dhoni didn’t see any point in risking him so fair enough. Virat Kohli gets a game.

One change for Australia. Adam Voges goes out and Shaun Marsh gets a game. That should a lot of you who were questioning Marsh’s exclusion from the previous game.

You can ask why Dhoni opted to field first in sound batting conditions. The dew factor no doubt. Better to err on the side of caution. But India should expect to chase a big score because the pitch is flat, as promised by the curator Daljit Singh.

Ricky Ponting: The Delhi pitch was tough for batting, the squad was inexperienced and depleted by injury, and in the interest of team balance Australia decided not to play specialist opener Shaun Marsh. They needed someone to partner Shane Watson at the top and Ponting took on the responsibility. It was only the second time he was opening in his 327-ODI career and he fought the conditions and batted with restraint to score his second half-century of the series. “I’m obviously the most experienced player in our side and to put one of the other guys up to open the innings I thought would have been more of a challenge for them than it would be for me,” Ponting said. He is likely to open again.

India’s latest setbacks occurred at the Feroz Shah Kotla, where Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag picked up injuries, making them doubtful starters for the Mohali game. Gambhir was struck on the neck by a full-blooded pull from Ponting while fielding at short leg and a yorker from Peter Siddle crashed into Sehwag’s foot. Only on the morning of the game will it be known whether either batsman will be fit to play.

Australia, meanwhile, had a third player from their original tour party flying home because of injury. James Hopes picked up a hamstring strain in the first one-dayer, remained with the squad longer than fellow casualties Brett Lee and Tim Paine, but hadn’t recovered quickly enough for him to be able to play the remaining ODIs. Clint McKay, the Victoria seamer, was the latest addition to the Australian squad after Moises Henriques and Graham Manou. Mitchell Johnson seems to be pulling through the series despite a sore ankle. Other national hopefuls might be watching tomorrow’s match thinking they might be next to receive a call from Andrew Hilditch.

India v Australia, 4th ODI, Mohali

India wait on Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir

When this seven-match ODI series is finished, it’s likely that what lingers in the memory the longest is not MS Dhoni’s century in Nagpur, or the consistency of Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting, but how the teams lost key players to injury after every contest and had to make do with thinning resources and last-minute reinforcements. Not one of the first three fixtures was contested by two full-strength elevens and both India and Australia are further depleted ahead of the fourth game at the PCA Stadium in Mohali.
