Two hours to go then gents. A very unsociable time for some of us - hope to stay awake for the first hour or so of the game.

India: Sony Sports - Sony Six Channel

Let's hope we win the toss and see Blessing and Bidza back in tandem, with a bit of Evans, restricting them to something gettable. Going to be an unbelievably tough challenge though. Not expecting much!

Thought several bottles of Castle would keep me awake. May have been a bad idea...

As an Australian who has to deal with about 90% of events on at crap times, I have no sympathy for people having to wake up early or stay up late to watch sport.

I just want to see us be competitive. None of this lose 5 for less than a 100 or their openers playing at a SR over 150 kind of thing.

Would be nice to just be competitive and tactical for a change.

Aussies bowling

Sean williams out

Nice to see Marumani back though. He should play patiently for a few overs get his eye in

No Blessing and no Williams. We are going to get fucked here!

On paper at least, our top 4 looks absolutely appalling.

No explanation for silliams being out.

I do remember Hougjton saying realistically he wanted to play Blessing from the 2nd ODI onwards and manage his injury

At least we bat down to number 10 if you include Richard Ngarava heroics against india and pakistan
Feel chakhabva and Burl might have to do a mopping up job

Hopefully lessons have been learned from batting first against India.

Not looking good though. First hour could be disastrous.
