This exercise will be a series of drills where in Indian T-90’s similar to American US M1 Abrams and BMP’s are joining Strykers in the war games.

“Earlier, I didn’t know the Indians had a mechanized force of this magnitude with so much of a rich tradition,” This is what Sgt Logan Anderson; An US Army officer had to say after a few drills.

“Since this unit of the Indian Army is mechanized and we are a Stryker unit, I am really looking forward to how we are going to maneuver together.”  An US Army officer from Stryker team said.

“This exercises are also to promote mutual trust and understanding through the exchange of tactics, techniques and procedures and associated logistics support. Exposure to highly technical-based weapons, equipment and systems would form part of the three-week-long effort,”

Chinese Border Region Claims

The above are some of the newspapers headlines related to tension building between INDIA and CHINA. These are a result of rise in

(a) Chinese claims of Indian Border Regions

(b) Incursions of Chinese soldiers on Indian border

Some believe that the incursions are a result of Border issues both the countries have not been able to solve since more than 40 years resulting in lack of proper demarcation. In the recent years there have been 13 rounds of talks regarding border, which have yielded no results. Though New Delhi have downplayed the incursion citing demarcations reasons and Beijing has declined direct comment.

Indian media and some military seniors reported rise in Chinese incursions. Indian Military protested the incursions and responded by reopening airbase near china border and landing a Military plane on a forward, remote high altitude air field demonstrating its ability to move its soldiers on the frontline.

However according to Experts and Think Tanks believe China’s aggression on Indian border is direct result of “Beijing’s nervousness over India’s rise.”

This was also seen when Beijing tried to scuttle India’s Civil Nuclear Deal, at the Nuclear Supplier’s Group Meeting indicating that china is not completely comfortable with India’s rise on the world stage. Analysts and experts believe that china is catching up to the idea that it has a competitor in Asia, coming in its way of becoming a world power. So all the incidents happening on the border including Ladakh are directly resulting from Chinese desire to be a dominant power of this region. China has also beefed up its military infrastructure closed to Indian borders.

An Indian Analyst recently announced in the press that china might attack india by 2012. All the recent developments indicate the China is increasingly nervous about india’s rise and doing deliberately everything it can, from scuttling Nuclear Deal, coming in the way of international financial organizations loan grants for Indian border state developments. India’s has to deal with china prudently to eliminate threats and continue to rise on the world’s economic stage.

India have to perform well to get back to the No. 1 spot in ICC Cricket rankings. They haven’t done well in last two major tournaments ( Twenty20 World Cup and Champions Trophy 2009 ). On the other hand, Australia have done well in ODI Series against England and also won the Champions Trophy 2009. India have now got better batting line up due to inclusion of Sehwag and Yuvraj.

Australia will play 7 ODI matches against India

India v Australia ODI Series will commence in India from October 25th, 2009 and end on Nov 11th, 2009.

Here on NiharsWorld, I will also provide India v Australia ODI Series Cricket Schedule and Match Timings.

There will be in total of 7 ODI’s (One Day Internationals) played between India and Australia. The 7 ODI’s will be completed on Nov 11th, 2009.

Australia are on a high after their successful ODI Series against England and a triumph in Champions Trophy 2009. India on the other hand are not in good form. They have failed in initial rounds in both T20 World cup and Champions Trophy 2009.

It will be interesting to see how India performs with their fast bowling department in very poor form.

The below India Team Squad for India v Australia ODI Series is for only first two ODI’s. Selectors will decide the squad for the rest of the ODI’s after completion of 2nd ODI.

India v Australia 7 Match ODI Series Team Squad

Hope India does well and rock against Australia in India v Australia 7 ODI Series.

The plus for India is that Yuvraj and Sehwag are back. That will for sure strengthen the batting.
