Semi-Final Twenty20 (T20) Australia vs India: India versus Ponting Less Australia

In the second semifinal between India vs Australia will take place at Durban at IST 21:30. But Australia will play along with India without Ponting. Absence of Ponting, Gilchrist will lead the team. It’s a very bad news for Australian. During the match along with Pakistan, Ponting suffered a hamstring strain while batting during Australia’s six-wicket loss to Pakistan at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Tuesday night. Ponting’s injury, which did not allow him to field against Pakistan, comes ahead of Australia’s must-win clash against Sri Lanka in Cape Town on Thursday.

Ponting may not attend the 7matches’ series along with India form 29 September. Team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said Ponting have to rest two or three weeks. As the series durations are 19 Sep to 17 Oct, so Ponting hope that he could attend last two matches.

"Brad Haddin has been added to the touring squad and will take part in the Indian tour until such time as Ricky recovers. Although Ricky's injury is very disappointing it gives us an opportunity to recognise the outstanding performances of Brad Haddin domestically and in his limited opportunities for Australia in the past 12 months."

Pontinng’s absence would suffer Australia both Twenty20 and tour of India. Anyway, we hope that he will come round soon and will back to the team.

Rahul Dravid will Handover his Captaincy before Australia Tours!

When Indian cricket team is plying the World cup Twnty20 at the same time Rahul Dravid has declared to handover his captaincy to others. Dravid has known his wish to the board precedent Sarad Pawer. Dravid thinks that he has to knock down a great effect to his normal jobs. The board member will take decision on 18 September. Just before one week of Australia tour, is it a good decision for India team? Will it be well for whole the team? Australia is coming India after T20 championship which will start form 28 September.

Shah told Cricinfo the board would meet within the next two days to appoint the next captain. "We will take a decision very soon." Australia arrive in India on September 25 and the first of seven ODIs is in Bangalore four days later.

Dilip Vengsarkar, the chairman of selectors, said a decision would be taken on September 18, when the team for the Australia ODIs is to be picked.

Vengsarkar, who was in New Delhi watching the match between India A and South Africa A, appeared unaware of the news until told about it by journalists. Asked for his reaction, Vengsarkar said: "I can't even be shocked because [officially] I haven't heard anything."

Is Dravid handing over his captaincy to stop him from T20 world cup which is taking place in South Africa? Anyway, as he thinking that it is hampering his concentration for batting. I think it is a good decision.
