Australia in India too Close to Call
Fresh off the back of 2-1 ODI series
victory against England the Australia one-day side are gearing up for a
seven-game tour of India to kick start their summer.

Having won nine of their last 12 completed
games this Aussie team don’t exactly require Clarke, although he could be
useful against a rampant India ODI outfit.
Both teams are on form; separating India
and Australia in the cricket betting odds will be difficult for many punters. A developing Virat Kohli-led team has just
breezed past Zimbabwe and the team have lost just five ODIs all year.
Spinner, Amit Mishra, could force a way
back into the side and young Bhuvneshwar Kumar is developing nicely. The big
guns that were rested for Zimbabwe will return and fans can rely on MS Dhoni’s
experience – along with quality openers, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan – to
get the job done.
However, previous results suggest
Australia, who finished bottom of their Champions Trophy group, can get a
series victory against July’s title winners. Lehmann’s men beat India 4-2 when
last touring in 2009 and by the same result in 2007. They proved against
England how effective their top order can be on its day – something lost during
the Ashes – and Johnson’s return gives this seam attack some zip.
