Australian skipper Ricky Ponting won the toss and elected to bat in the fourth (4th) CB Series match at the MCG, Melbourne.
The lead-up has been less than ideal for India, who endured two wash-outs in Brisbane following their nine-wicket Twenty20 loss. Australia, on the other hand, enjoyed a 128-run thrashing of Sri Lanka in Sydney on Friday.
India have fielded an unchanged side. There was some news of Sreesanth being a doubtful starter, but he seems to have recovered just in time.
Australia left Brad Hogg out and included Stuart Clark for his first outing of the series. James Hopes was also ruled out with hamstring tightness, which allowed Brad Haddin to return to the batting line-up.
India's Playing Eleven:
Mahinndar Singh Dhoni (Captain,W/K), Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, S Sreesanth, Ishant Sharma.
Australia's Playing Eleven:
Ricky Ponting (Captain), Adam Gilchrist(WK), Matthew Hayden, Brad Haddin, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Michael Hussey, Brett Lee, Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark, Mitchell Johnson.
