Arch rivals meeting again one on one in 1st ODI today at Durban. Aussi will definitely try to take advantage of South African all rounder Kallis. For me Australian team is looking little bit down. They have to bring in some confidence inside team. Aussi Skipper itself looking not in good nick. His batting form definitely will be a worry for team. He must take a responsibility of making runs, while Hussy brothers & others will revolve along him.
Mitchell Johnson & David Hussy’s are in good nick. Aussi have brought one day specialties like Bracken & Hopes in team. Hope they will contribute to team’s success. Aussi’s are not finding good opening pair combination, like Gilly & Hayden. Michael Clarke is surly not looking comfortable in top order. So they must look for some specialist for opening slot.
Africans, must be happy with their Captain Smith is coming back from injury. Africans must be high on confidence after winning T20. They brought fresh players inside team, which will try to lift team’s moral and add exuberance. I personally like to see how Smith tackles Johnson rattling pace & bodyline stuff. This is going to be interesting battle. Spinners will play a crucial role. Johan Botha is in terrific form. He is not only bowling economical spells but taking wickets at crucial juncture. Unfortunately Aussi don’t have good quality spinner. They depend on part timers like Clarke, Hussy & might be North.
So don’t miss to watch 1st Day Night ODI starting at 12.30 GMT. Hopefully this match will go to wire.
