Watch cricket highlights: India vs Australia, the 1st ODI (to be) played at Vadodara on October 25, 2009.

Scoreline: Aus 292/8 Ponting 74, Mike Hussey 73 (54), Paine 50, Cameron White 51 | Ishanth 10-1-50-3
India lose by 4: Gambhir 68, Harbhajan 49 (31), Praveen Kumar 40 (32) Hauritz 9-1-34-1, Lee 6-28-1

Ishanth Sharma shows some semblance of a return despite the dropped pace; Ponting is a cut above his teammates in tough morning conditions; Hussey makes himself heard; Harbhajan makes up for his listless bowling with some stunning hits; Hauritz is the best spinner today; Praveen Kumar who’s been picked until now only in games where conditions suit the moving ball shows glimpses of what he could do with the bat in future (have seen him hit cleaner big ones than he did today); Lee inexplicably bowls just 6 overs; and Ravindra Jadeja justifies the reason he was played today – with Yuvraj still not fit there was no one else to pick. India don’t play 5 bowlers too often and the only other options available were bowlers. Which makes you wonder about the rationale behind dropping Yusuf from the squad and including Jadeja. If Yusuf’s recent run was the reason (not justifiable cos he’s hardly had a fair chance at the bowling), Uthappa would have been a better pick considering you want someone at 7 who’ll win you a game, not someone who at best will get you a pointless 30/40.

  41. gajanand

    fuck the _____________ and keep this site free of racist comments. india will win the series eventually at 4 games to 3.

  42. mmister big khan

    helle i always watch white screen on player place.why?what is problem?please keep orignal video addrress

    Did you reformat your system recently cos youve been a regular user here right. Maybe you changed your browser and it doesn’t have a flash player installed. you can download it free from Adobe

  43. paki or indian.doesnt matter as long as you dont show hatred towards each other.i think its fine.i hate people who say racist shit like.indians are loser,pakis are losers and stuff like that.cmon guys grow up.its ok to be passionate but dont try to offend others

  44. What an exciting match!! Though I’m indian i was supporting Australia cos Indian team is too arrogant.

    DW, Australia will come back even harder!

    Thanks for this admin!

  45. i am jack and you are jackass

  46. shut the f&ck up paki

  47. Abdul Qayyum Pakistani

    I was wishing india will sweep Aus but any way good luck india in the next.

  48. Congratzz India for being unchanged,,,lossing against Australia

  49. hei guys do not quarrel , just enjoy the game..

  50. I wonder how many of you who comment actually play cricket? Personally I’d like to see the same level of respect for the opponent that does still exist on the field, displayed by the fans – what’s with the ‘f**k you’ all the time?
    Come on people – this isn’t football! We are meant to be gentlemen…

  51. no racial slurs please nahin tho paki will be banned from intl crick for ever…

  52. love indian pussy

    indian`s hahaahah loser

  53. Cricket was invented as a contest between gentlemen back in the day, when sportsmanship and good manners and pure enjoyment of this great game were what mattered.

    It’s quite sickening to see the comments here, with all the morons showing their studity and rudeness.

    Of all the sports in the world, it’s cricket more than any other that should bring nations together.

    If you are so full of hate go kick your dog or slap your mother but don’t air your ignorance in public here.

    Anyway, what’s with Watson tossing down rubbish and trash time and time again at the end like that?

    Great, fun game which EVERYONE should have enjoyed and appreciated, even if your team didn’t win.

    Thanks tremendously to Admin, as always, who’s ever a trouper through all the tech problems!

  54. aesome match!!!!
    i knew aus will win the match no matter what
    thats why they are the number 1 team in the world

  55. great india become a big won

  56. Admin,

    Surprised that you allowed that comment by F*CK at the beginning to be posted. Ridiculous comments like those are in bad taste and take away from the wonderful spirit in which this site is run.

    Thanks for another great package! Top notch!

    Yeah, it’s tiring. But since I’m Indian, the way I looked at it is – the comment didn’t bother me in a racial or whatever way, so I let it be. Maybe I’ll be more wary in future – Admin

  57. We all know Australia is good team, but India could be better team. And as a Indian no matter what will always support India Team and of course they are the best.

  58. Yo… indians… go f*ck australia..
    east or west .. india is the best

  59. thanks, great work

  60. Aussie Hater

    Fcuk you Aussie. Comon india Fcuk the aussie pussy.

  61. i hope the australian can make the series 7-0 or 6-1 like they did with England
    GO GO GO AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  62. INDIA DI TEAM DE PAHEN DEYA FUDA CH MERA LUN YUVRAJ DI TE BHAJAN DI PAHEN NU CHAD KE BAKKI LALLU SALE

  63. o wao
    i was wxpecting intellectual views and all isee is paki and indian… wth?
    pak is not even playing……

    pakiz..need to shut up about india .. srsly guyz .. u were once the same country . .despite ur petty diffrences you should take each others back rather than taunt evey where.

    indians .. same thing .. u guyz put hell of a fight in that game .. and lets this keep aobut the game and nothing else .

  64. indian lost because of their fielding, everything else was great specially harbhajan….

  65. hahaha india

  66. M.DHONI SHOULD TAKE A RETIREMENT FROM CAPTAIN..Y.SINGH OR H.SINGH SHOULD BE INDIA CAPTAIN..I PREFERRED Y.SING IS GOOD FOR INDIA CAPTAIN..DHONI IS NOT A CAPTAIN UNTILL 2011 WIRLD CUP..HE IS A WK. ONLY…NO GOOD FOR CAPT.

  67. fu*k austrilia

  68. cheers Admin – good game. Glad it’s working now. The site being down had me chewing my nails.

    What was Watson doing at the end? All those pies outside off? Try some yorkers mate….but take nothing away from a very nicely wagging, Indian tail.

    lol at Hussey’s ‘woohoo’ when he hit that lovely straight six.

    If you just read the comments, you’d be confused and think 3 teams were playing – Oz, India and Pak. :) If you are a cricket fan, just enjoy the game. No need for nasty comments. We are all fans and enjoy a good contest. A good shot is a good shot – doesn’t matter who plays it.

    Thought Sharma and Hauritz bowled quite well.

    Should be a very good series based on that game.

    Hip Hip Hurrah! :)

  69. Harbhajan Singh was Fabulous even though India lost the match , but it was an interesting one.

  70. Satdeep Gill

    Harbhajan Singh nearly did it for India but never mind he is a bowler and has done what any of the other batsmen couldn’t do.

  71. Dear Admin:

    How about a bit more proactive moderation from you here?

    It’s your site and you can do it.

    The comments section shouldn’t be a dump for immature morons with no impulse control to toss their hate and ignorance and poor sportsmanship around.

    I believe most people come to this site to enjoy great cricket and have a little escape from the unpleasantness of a stressful world. So to log on and see all the garbage posts from these fools is slightly depressing, to put it mildly.

    Whatever you do or don’t do about it, the site is still awesome and you are a hero and a saint for editing all these matches and posting them for us to enjoy.

    A sincere thank you from me.

  72. What a great game and it bodes well for the series. India could have played better but so could have Australia. Batting powerplay was a killer for both teams (come on Australia, every single time!) and Australia cracked under a bit of pressure with their bowling at the end (good time to experiment going around the wicket in the 48th over, Siddle!).

    Good to see the game played in a better spirit than what some of the fools posting here would indicate.

    Awesome, as always, Admin.

  73. bad luck india

  74. Bad luck india but australia will win this series no doubt about it

  75. FUK U INDIANS

    FUK U INDIANS

    Alright, the last f*ck you was thrown at Aus and here’s one coming back. That’s it, no more fu*k yous in here – Admin

  76. please could you use a youube format

    Youtube deletes clips unreliably – sometimes after days other times within an hour
