Team India thrashed by Australia , Oz clinches Bonus Point...
Australia came up with full force today in the match as they won the game with 6 overs remaining.
Batting first Australia piled up decent total of 288 on the board but once again the men in blue failed to chase the target as excepted and it was Captain M.S Dhoni who top scored with 56 of 84 balls and looked in a good touch .
The star of the show was Hilfenhaus as he took a 5 wicket hawl in the match and was looking superb with his bowling. Pathan(3/61) was the most successful from the Blues but was also expensive. Although fielding looked good but it was poor bowling that gave aussies to reach a par score that was tough for out of form batting order of team india. Star player Michel Hussey(59) and new comer Peter Forrest(52) also seemed to be in a good touch as they scored half century apiece .Hilfenhaus playing his first one-day international after November 2009 looked in a great form and did an exceptional comeback replacing McCay. The dropped catch of Wade by Rohit Sharma at slip of the second ball of the match proved to be a costly affair for the Indians as the host got a great start and bundled out India in 44th over to at 178 runs and finished the match.
Except Dhoni no one showed any resistance to Oz bowling and threw their wickets away. Once again the middle order disappointed.
Its also the time for the youngsters to show their talent along with aggression on the field.
Now the Indians have to tighten their seat belts as they cannot take Lankan team easy because they defeated the Oz by 8 wickets in the previous match.
So best of Luck TEAM INDIA and play hard.
