Advantage India as Aussies struggle with injury worries

Aussies claimed the first round of bragging rights, but injury worries have left skipper Ponting and coach Nielsen sulking before tomorrow's tIe. Here are the sour faces...




Ponting is livid over the fact that there were a few players missing when they landed in India for the ODI series due to their Champions League commitments. An angry skipper can be good news for his opposite number. Afterall, anger doesn't do wonders for clarity of thought.


The New South Wales Blues star may have been the toast of the Champions League, but he's hurting big-time in this ODI series against India.
Lee has had his share of heartaches over his decade-long career. Now, he's got a sore elbow to deal with in a
vital series.


The manner in which this excitingu00a0 Queenslander has used his willow, he can be counted as an all-rounder. An ankle injury can never be taken lightly and that's what Johnson has to cope with in this series. His pace bowling has been critical to Aus and there's a Test series against WI coming up.


Big James will miss the second one-dayer in Nagpur due to a hamstring strain which he sustained during Sunday's first one-dayer in Vadodara. Australia will miss his towering presence in their bowling line-up, his sharp fielding and big-hitting. At the moment, his surname is so apt.
