Well Australia Pwned W.Indies in 2nd ODI to a 2-0 series Lead, by winning by 8 Wickets with 141 Balls remaining. It really seems West Indies are worse than pakistan.

I don't think Australia should change there side. But if they need to maybe give Hauritz a rest and bring in Ryan Harris. Shaun Marsh is a questionable opener atm, i never really rated him at the start. But if He fails next game Australia should give another opener a chance for such as give Michael Klinger a shot, the man has been impress for years and if he suceeds well, He is always a great spare player to use for test just incase injures/poor form.

Michael Klinger has played 75 ODD 2589 runs h/s 133* average 39.22, 6/100 and 17/50

I guess W/Indies havent really improved that much over the Years. There is pretty crap despite Roach(he will be a long term indies player) and Miller spin was pretty good.

-----------------

aswell 1st Vs 2nd in Test Match. India Vs South Africa.

all i can say is wow!!. South Africa drew series with England last test series, South Africa look somewhat poor in that series they should of really won it 3-1 despite the 2 draws.

But India had a not that great Test series with Bangladesh winning 2-0 tho. But India doesn't look like a test team. They are more of an ODI/2020 side. But India in Test Level isn't a good one in some quite time. Still has some quality players. but they totally got destoryed by South Africa.

I expected this end to have a result, but a Close result.

I expect Mishra, Saha, Vijay to be dropped. (sharma didn't get any wickets, But i rate him for the side. He is a good bowler.) While Mishra has been giving 8 Test is failling with his 28 wickets for 39.07.

Vijay the guy only has played 35 first Class game and averages 53.21. But for Test he is average 37.83 with only 1/50.

while Wriddhiman Saha played 25 1st class 1292 runs H/s 159 average 34.91. very unsure as to why he got called. His ODD stats are much better than his 1st class. Maybe they could of use him for a ODi instead of a Test.

i say there is 3 choices to pick from the droppings of Saha and Vijay.

1. Uday Kaul (the guy is a Wkeeper) but he has played 35 1st class games 2210 runs 167 h/s average 49.11.

2. Cheteshwar Pujara 46 1st class 3603 runs H/S 302* average 57.19 (I am surprised India has called him up for game so far, very good stats there)

3. Ajinkya Rahane 36 1st class 3437 runs, H/S 265* average 63.64 another Top Stats.

Mishra had his chances, i say move on and find someone else.

Irfan Pathan and Praveen Kumar bought back could Help. Kumar has played a Test game for India. But he has a nice average for it. While Pathan was a pretty handy bowler.

If they want new Blood these 2 bowlers could help

Vinay Kumar - Right arm medium - 54 1st class - 202/4888 average 24.19 - 10/5w 2/10w

Ranadeb Bose - Right arm Med/Fast - 80 games - 300/7195 average 23.98 - 24/5w - 6/10w

while S.africa if they wanted to swap anyone. Probably Parnell for that de wet. i didn't de wet in the england series. But Africa should just keep same side for next game
--------------

while in more surprising news USA Defeated Scotland in 20/20 by 6 wickets and 5 balls remaining. This is Great News for USA as scotland has been developing into hitting the big leagues of International Cricket.

Perhaps it's just Australia are back to their old levels of pwnage. Regardless, doesn't matter who we play, West Indies aren't gonna win any matches.

Never heard of Michael Klinger, but he doesn't sound too bad. We have the opportunity to give people a chance now, so why not take it and put him, and rest one of the regular players like you said.

well Haddin and Watson are getting rested.

Tim Paine is filling in for Keeper. I am very happy with Paine getting back in the side as i felt his dropping was wrong.

15 ODI games 447 runs, H/S 111 Average 31.92, 1/50 3/50.

But Adam Voges for Watson, i don't really like this move as i don't rate Voges at all. Klinger could of been used but then Australia would be stumped for a 5th bowler they could of used David Hussey as he can bowl a couple overs than bring Clarke/White for a few overs.

Voges 8 ODI 191 Runs H/S 72 average 38.20, with the ball he is 1/142 average 142. Eco 6.76 a over

The squad for 3rd/4th ODI games: Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine (wk), Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Clarke, Cameron White, Michael Hussey, Adam Voges, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris, Nathan Hauritz, Clint McKay, Doug Bollinger.
