Ravindra Jadeja has found a fair amount of criticism in the local newspapers for his inept running during the previous game but the lack of another allrounder means he should keep his place. His bowling has been handy so far, bar the last game where everyone but Harbhajan Singh bled runs, so that should work in his favour. Munaf Patel got one game and was awful, so he could well be replaced by Sudeep Tyagi; that is, if India choose to throw the youngster into the ring with the series on the line.
* The best bowling figures at the Nehru Stadium belong to Robin Singh, who took 5 for 22 here in 1997.
* Tendulkar more than doubled his run tally with his 175 and now sits just behind Michael Hussey with 265 for the series.
* After starting the series with two poor matches with the ball, Shane Watson is now the highest wicket-taker with eight at 24.12.
Australia (probable): Shane Watson, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting (capt.), Michael Hussey, Cameron White, Adam Voges, Graham Manou (wk), Andrew McDonald/Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Hauritz, Clint McKay, Doug Bollinger.
India(probable): Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Munaf Patel/Sudeep Tyagi, Ashish Nehra.
