Michael Clarke wins the toss and Australia will bat. Clarke is bright about the weather, his fitness and everything else. “We are looking towards the 2015 World Cup and it is hard to be here without Ricky Ponting.. I hope he’s sitting at home and watching.” Shane Watson isn’t playing - he’s being eased in as 12th man.
Mahela is banking on the generally good chasing record in Hobart. Sri Lanka have gone in with an unchanged side.

Perera to Forrest, FOUR, in the middle of all the dots, he's played some outrageously powerful strokes, just like this one. Thisara drops short, Forrest leans back and whacks it over midwicket for four. *That's yet another fifty for the new man. *

Perera to Forrest, no run, pitched up on the leg stump, but Forrest can't encash the freebie. He works it straight to the leg side.

Perera to Clarke, 1 run, fuller ball on the stumps, Clarke gets the side wide of mid on.
26.1
Perera to Clarke, FOUR, Ravi Shastri's voice trembles with excitement on air as Clarke plays a cracking pull without bothering to go back after getting the front foot out. Comprehensively thumped.

This is interesting now. **Australia have taken the batting Powerplay early.* This could be immense fun. Kulasekara comes on.

*"What a difference a year makes, the last time Australia played a ODI in Hobart Shaun Marsh top scored with 110, while our bowling attack consisted of Bollinger, Tait, Watson, Hauritz and Steve Smith." It is the season of change Big Fish. India have only one bowler - Zaheer Khan - from their World Cup final squad, playing in this series. And he too is missing more than he plays.

Perera to Forrest, 1 run, Forrest has his first 100 in the one-day format, at all levels. And he's chuffed! Short of a length outside off, he defends to the off side with soft hands and prances away. He was pumping his fist even as he was getting there, his eyes popping in joy and a yell of "Yes!" He jumps and skips. That's the first century of the CB series
