I wouldn't be surprised that Australia win 90% of the games against both sides who played a very mediocre cricket in this ODI.Cricket is a game where even B'desh wins once in a while for me to keep 10% cushion in prediction

u never know which way the tide starts to turn...but yes Ausies are strong to beat!!
Our history tells us that whenever we had quality allrounders we won major tournaments - even outside India - 1983 ( england ) , 1985 ( aust ) , 2007 ( africa ) , besides 2011 ( ind). all rounders like kapil amarnath , binny , madanlal , ravi shastri , yuvraj etc. inspite of knowing this our selectors led by srikkanth who himself was a member of w c ( 1983 ) & mini series ( 1985 australia ) chose to keep pathan brothers out. todays win also had major contribution from two emerging all rounders -jadeja & ashwin

I agree giving IP chance, but YP is totally useless. Brute power alone is not enuf to succeed in cricket - u need to have some technique also! Even our indian bowlers know how to contain him with short pitch stuff after his 100 off 37 balls! If he doesn;t work on his technique and shot selection he will just be one of the IPL wonders only!
we sachin fans multiply all 2 digit scores of his by 10 & single digit scores , by 100 to arrive at the contribution of SRT. so today his 48 was worth 480 & the other day he actually scores 200- massive contributions from all angles

He is finished as opener.Ask him to bat @6 if India wants to save his career instead of Raina
