Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly will get one last chance to dent the Australian pride when they take on the World Champions in a do-or-die second final of the triangular series in Sydney on Sunday.Failing to come good after a promising start to the ODI series almost a month back, the visitors would be hoping for some miraculous turnaround to beat the Aussies at the SCG. But it would be an uphill task against a rampaging Australian side, who seemed to have overcome the Test blues and have now beaten the visitors in four of the last five one-day matches. Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, however, would not be looking beyond the eleven who did duty at Melbourne to turn the corner against Australia. Ganguly will repose his trust in the same batsmen and bowlers who looked listless and flat in the first final in which the tourists were thrashed by seven wickets yesterday. He would rather back those men who gave his team such a competitive streak through the summer than develop cold feet in this crucial match for the visitors. India has a long line of worry in the batting front where but for VVS Laxman, the rest have largely blown hot-and-cold in the one-day series. India's brightest days in the tri-series have been when Laxman was at crease. Otherwise, the rest have struggled to live up to their form in the stupendous Test series. in-depth coverage > India in Australia 2003-04 > |
