Australia looking a bit keen on India as they are giving rest to Lee for next ODI. India will be looking to take this as their advantage and will try to exploit this in their third encounter against Australia in League phases of CB Series. Lee holds a respectful place in Cricket World. The oppostion teams know that Lee attack is sharp as sharpen blade . The records too suppirt this sentance , this season he looked superb, taking 40 wickets in six tests and eight in the triangular ODI tournament so far.

He looks magnificient in Gabba and took Indian Top order quickly, but next three matches he only able to take one wicket which is the main worry for Australian Management and they decided to keep his precious strength for later CB Series and gave him a leave for the sunday game. Mitchell Johnson looks happy with this decision , he thinks that Australian decision is good, not only Lee will get his strength back but he will too might a get a chance to open bowling attack for Australian Team.

Dhoni thinks that Australian attack hadnt diminsh in Lee's absence . He said that Australia is good bowling side with or without Lee, they had the power to take any oppostion batsmen out. Dhoni knows very well that their last encounter might give them a bit mental strength and hold a edge due to their five-wicket victory against Australia in Melbourne.

Its difficult to tell which side the momentum is flowing but Dhoni has full onfidence over his team, he said that his young batsmen and bowlers are improving their oerformances very fast and such encounters are making them more stronfg then ever. He is a bit worry for Yuvraj Singh , He said that Yuvi is going from a bad time and will recover soon from it. Dhoni hadnt told what will be Indian team compostion for Sunday game , he said that the last decision will be taken on Sunday.

Australia biggest concern is their inning pace in middle order. Johnson the Australian Coach look a bit worry about this. He said that with 14 more overs to go, and score 3 for 171 we might had score big total but we lost the pace and ended for 228 only. We have to look that score just kick ticking plus keeping wicket in hand. He looked disappointed with Australian bad fielding too.

Injuries too looking to trouble Aussies with Michael Clarke remaining doubtful after suffering a rib injury which he got during Friday match. Johnson said that He's a little bit sore and tender still ,they might take David Hussey in his place who is in good touch. Stuart Clark may be playing in place of Lee.

Till now both teams hadnt opened their cards over the secltion of players and will be doing it on Sunday morning. So we can expect that Sunday ODI will be rocking one.

Team's compostion for Sunday match:
Australia (likely) 1 Adam Gilchrist, 2 Matthew Hayden, 3 Ricky Ponting, 4 Michael Clarke/David Hussey, 5 Michael Hussey, 6 Andrew Symonds, 7 James Hopes, 8 Brad Hogg, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Mitchell Johnson, 11 Nathan Bracken

India (likely) 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Rohit Sharma, 5 Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 6 Yuvraj Singh, 7 Robin Uthappa, 8 Irfan Pathan, 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Sreesanth, 11 Ishant Sharma
