Australia’s injury problems increased further with the news of fast bowler Peter Siddle and all-rounder Moises Henriques also heading back home. Siddle has a side strain and has been ruled out of action for a week. Henriques, the hero of New South Wales’ win in the Champions League T20 has suffered a hamstring injury. The two players are going to be replaced with 23-year-old NSW quick Burt Cockley and Victorian all-rounder Andrew McDonald. Earlier it was expected that left arm fast bowler Dirk Nannes would be the replacement for Peter Siddle. India would thank its stars that Nannes hasn’t been named as the left armer has shown his red hot pace in the IPL quite often.
The visitors had leveled the 7-ODI Series in 2-2 at Mohali. The two replacement players are expected to be ready only by the 6th ODI at Guwahati. The fifth ODI is tomorrow at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Australia will most likely have Ben Hilfenhaus come back in the place of Peter Siddle.
