Hope you have had loads of fun following our coverage for this series opener. This series promises to be a real humdinger, don't you dare miss out on a single bit of action. Until we meet next time for the second ODI, it's me - Shirshendu Roy alongwith my co-commentators, Mayank Wadhi and Srivathsa, wishing you good luck. Adios...
Mike Hussey, the Man of the Match: Not sure whether I made it look easy. It was a good pitch to bat on and the outfield is really quick. The conditions are generally good for batting in India, the crowd was superb, it was enjoyable.
Ponting: I'm quite happy with our performance and I congratulate India for their fighting efforts, unfortunately for them, they couldn't cross the line. I asked Siddle to stay calm, that worked.
Dhoni: We lost too many wickets in the batting powerplay, thanks to Bhajji and Praveen, we fought back and came this close. I think we can do a lot better on the bowling front and the batsmen should contribute more too. There will be ups and downs in a 7 match ODI series, that is what you expect when the top two teams are playing at this level.
Cut-throat competition in the field comes to an end finally. The Australians have prevailed in this closely fought battle. The Indians had lost all their hopes when they were seven down and it took some mind-boggling batting from Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar to bring India to sniffing distance from victory. 84 runs stand between the duo left Australia gasping for breath and it was never over and finally the last delivery decided the fate of this contest. Well, friends, this indeed has been a rivetting contest and if these are signs to go by, we are all in for a fascinating ODI series. The start has been eventful, let's see how the rest goes. Till you wait for the presentation to begin, keep racking your brains to find out what the turning point was? Praveen Kumar missing out on a boundary ball off the very first delivery of the last over or was it Harbhajan Singh's dismissal? Keep thinking!
