Was this a useful practice Match? I think so. Both teams had a chance to bat twice. Virendra Sehwag could not score in both innings but that should be not be a worrying factor. He scores at the right time only. Gambhir scored some much needed runs in the 2nd innings, that will boost his confidence. Virat and Rohit both are eyeing that 6th man's spot and Virat's century might just clinch it for him but I feel Rohit can handle the short stuff better. All and all a good outing for the batsmen.
The same cant be said about the bowlers, I cant imagine how Mithun can take wickets. Umesh Yadav looks promising but he too went wicket less in the 2nd innings, this is a worry.
Zaheer and Ashwin looks like the wicket taking prospects and Ishant and Umesh would have to keep chipping away at the wickets
The Australian team is low on morale and players, if India can't beat them in this series then it never will
All and all a good practice match but the pitch was batsmen friendly
