5th November 2009
Australia's hopes of taking a series lead in the 5th ODI have been dented by the withdrawal through injury of fast bowler Peter Siddle, and all rounder Moises Henriques.
Injuries have already cost the convicts the services of their first and second choice wicketkeepers, bowlers Brett Lee, Nat Bracken, and James Hopes, as well as batsmen Michael Clarke and Callum Ferguson.
The latest withdrawals mean that quick bowler Ben Hilfenhaus will start the game, along with either fellow paceman Clint McKay or spinner Jon Holland.
The unchanged Indians' batting line-up, which crumbled chasing 250 in the 4th ODI, again looks a bit short with slow bowlers Ravindra Jadeja and Harbhajan Singh set to come in at 7 and 8.
