5th ODI: India vs Australia at Vadodara

India won the toss and batted an an absolute road. Well, that's what it's supposed to be anyway.

So far, Australia have torn through the Indian batting line-up and India are in dire straits at 5/49.

Ganguly was run out in the first over after a terrible mix-up with Sachin Tendulkar and the very next ball, Rahul Dravid was plum in front to Brett Lee.

Yuvraj Singh tickled one to Adam Gilchrist off Mitch Johnson in the 4th over of the game, Robin Uthappa was given LBW ten minutes later to Johnson and now MS Dhoni edged one to Gilchrist about 2 mins ago. Johnson has 3/19.

India in massive trouble, Tendulkar has watched his partners drop like flies but more importantly he is still there on 23.

Adam Gilchrist has been involved in three of the five dismissals so far.

India XI: Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, Robin Uthappa, *+MS Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Murali Karthik, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh.

Australia XI: +Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, *Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, Brad Hodge, Andrew Symonds, Brad Hogg, James Hopes, Brett Lee, Nathan Bracken, Mitchell Johnson

No changes to either side from the fourth match. Brad Hodge still in the Australian side, must have a heap of nude pics of the selectors.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Mitchell Johnson with 3 early wickets and India is in huge trouble early!

India is 49-5 after 12 overs. Their only bright spot is that Tendulkar is still in there.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Good partnership from Tendulkar and Pathan so far. They haven't scored a ton of runs, but they've stuck around at least.

India 90-5 after 24 overs.
(Tendulkar 46*, Pathan 17*)
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Got him!! Tendulkar edges to Gilchrist and Brett Lee gets the breakthrough that Australia wanted.

6/92 after 25.3 overs.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Hogga!!!!! Brad Hogg strikes, getting rid of Harbhajan Singh who tried to slog but only hit as far as Bracken at mid-off.

7/105 after 27 overs. Drinks now being taken.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Nice job by Lee to get Tendulkar.

And now Hogg gets Harbhajan.

India 105-7 after 27, and they really needed that Tendulkar/Pathan partnership to last longer.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Mitchell Johnson gets Pathan for his fourth!

106-8


Will Hayden have any more luck batting on this pitch than India has had?
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Johnson gets his fifth. Gilchrist involved again as Murali Karthik is cramped and gives Gilchrist another catch.

First five wicket haul in ODI's for Mitchell Johnson.

7/109 in the 30th over.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Australia finish off India but not before an interesting 41-run stand between Zaheer Khan and RP Singh. Zaheer is out for 28 after edging to Gilchrist off Nathan Bracken.

That is Gilchrist's 6th catch of the innings and he was involved in the run-out of Sourav Ganguly in the very first over!

India all out for 148 after 39.4 overs. A very, very disappointing effort from them considering the pitch was batsman friendly.

Gilchrist also equalled the record for most dismissals in an innings.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

That last wicket was a tough one to get.

149, on the other hand, should not be tough to get.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Harbhajan Singh is opening the bowling for India.

Australia are 0/2 in the first over. Gilchrist turned the second ball behind square for two runs.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Hayden has done something to his calf and now has a runner.

0/19 after 3.5 overs.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Hayden is bowled by RP Singh for 29.

1/54 after 12.5 overs.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Gilchrist lets loose and hits Murali Karthik for 3 sixes off one over.

1/74 after 14 overs and Gilchrist has now raced to 42 runs off 44 balls.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

Gilchrist hits 3 sixes in the very next over.

Australia 74-1 after 14, they're already at the halfway point.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

103-1 after 20 overs

only 46 more needed


Yet another match in which India fail to put up any sort of fight.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara

And that's the end of that, a shockingly easy win for Australia.

Australia 149-1 after 25.5 overs. Gilchrist finished on 79 with Ponting on 39.


They won with 24.1 overs to spare!
They now lead the series 3-1, with two ODI's yet to come.
 
Re: 5th ODI: India v Australia at Vadodara
