Australia skipper Ricky Ponting is expecting a stern examination from India during the upcoming seven-match one-day international series, starting in Vadodara on October 25.

India, second behind Australia in the ICC’s 50-over rankings, come into the series in poor form having crashed out of the recent ICC Champions Trophy at the group stage. Australia, in contrast, made a successful defence of the competition to maintain their stranglehold of the global 50-over events. A rejuvenated Ponting, who revealed he has not touched a cricket bat in 10 days, left Sydney airport for India on Monday evening for a grueling schedule of seven games in 19 days. “They’ll be particularly hard to beat in India – they always are,” Ponting said.
