India vs Australia 2nd ODI: Australian Batting Line up

The second ODI will take place on 2 October 2007. The first match has stopped due to heavy rain. I think Australian batting impressed the entire cricket fans especially the batting of Michael Clarke Although Australian faced a heavy batting downfall in the first time by but Michael Clarke helped team to overcome the bad situation and blow up the team as a score of 307.

After Sreesanth had left the innings rocking, it was Clarke and Haddin that rebuilt it, patiently at first and then with considerable flair and aggression. After taking 68 balls for his 50, Clarke cruised to three figures in just another 40 deliveries, playing some gorgeous shots off his pads in the process.

There was a stunning glance-on-the-walk against Irfan Pathan, and peachy on-drive off Zaheer before a dismal full toss from Ramesh Powar was swatted over the square-leg rope. Haddin's dismissal, stumped trying to give Yuvraj the mow, didn't stem the Clarke tide either, and another full toss from Powar was dismissed over midwicket to herald his patented helmet-badge-kissing celebration.

It is clear that Australia has a strong batting line up although they lost against India in the Twenty20 world cup.
