Hi all,
On the eve of the biggest day in the cricketing calender, here's a view of how the Tigers match up with the Kangaroos as per the points secured in our own unique little contest ...
Team Australia has 3881 points in all, while Team India has secured 3707 points in all, just a measly 174 points between the two giants.
Man for Man now (considering the XI most likely to play tommorrow) .. Let's compare the top 7 for the points earned with the willow
1. Adam Gilchrist - 315 vs Sachin Tendulkar - 510
2. Matthew Hayden - 240 vs Virendra Sehwag - 195
3. Ricky Ponting - 195 vs Saurav Ganguly - 300
4. Darren Lehmann - 210 vs Mohd. Kaif - 90
5. Andrew Symonds - 255 vs Rahul Dravid - 165
6. Michael Bevan - 75 vs Yuvraj Singh - 195
7. Ian Harvey - 60 vs Dinesh Mongia - 30
As you can see it is fairly evenly matched, with the Indians holding the slight edge, but one must not forget that Bichel and Hogg are no mugs with the bat and also Mongia has not got too much time in the middle to improve his score in our contest !!!
As for the four specialist bowlers either side,
1. Glenn McGrath - 396 vs Javagal Srinath - 320
2. Brett Lee - 262 vs Zaheer Khan - 266
3. Andy Bichel - 360 vs Ashish Nehra - 276
4. Brad Hogg - 174 vs Harbhajan Singh - 174
Couldn't get any closer I suppose .. with the fifth bowler being a cause of concern for both the sides !!!
With the batting and the bowling firing quite evenly for both the sides, all I can say is this is no David vs Goliath ... it is definitely the World Champion vs the Number 1 Contender !!!
Best of Luck India !!!
