Ricky Ponting has won the toss and chose to field first. Ponting said at the toss, “”Solid start in the first game, not spectacular, but this is a very different wicket. Some moisture around, and cloud cover, we expect to do well with the ball. Not often that you begin in conditions like these in India, so this is interesting.”
Aussies are going into this match with an unchanged side while New Zealand have replaced Jacob Oram with Jamie How.
Vettori said at the toss, “He would have liked to bat in any case”.
The New Zealand captain also reflected his thoughts on the earthquake back home and said the thoughts are with the people in Christchurch.
Australian squad includes Shane Watson, Brad Haddin, Ricky Ponting (Captain), Michael Clarke, David Hussey, Cameron White, Steve Smith, Mitchell Johnson, Jason Krejza, Brett Lee, and Shaun Tait.
Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum, Jesse Ryder, Ross Taylor, James Franklin, Scott Styris, Jamie How, Daniel Vettori (Captain), Nathan McCullum, Tim Southee, and Hamish Bennett.
