India take on Australia in the first match of the tri nation cricket series tomorrow at Melbourne cricket ground.
The question of where to include Tendulkar hangs over India's selections, and a decision must also be made about whether to leave out a batsman to make room for Ravindra Jadeja. The likes of Irfan Pathan, Umesh Yadav and Vinay Kumar are in a duel for the final pace berth. In the Australian squad, having omitted Shaun marsh due to his dismal test form, the national selectors must choose who should partner David Warner at the top of the order. Matthew wade excelled at the top in the first t20 in Sydney, while Ponting, Clarke and Hussey have all taken the role in the past. Sri Lanka is the third team in the series.
