India has won the toss and elected to field in the second ODI against Australia in Vishakhapattanam today. After the series-opener was washed out in Kochi, the three match -ODI series has now been reduced to a two-match affair. The weather is bright and sunny at the Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy ADA-VDCA Cricket Stadium today. Clarke leads the Australian squad after regular skipper Ricky Ponting, all-rounder Shane Watson and pacer Mitchell Johnson were rested from the series. Australia's fast bowling stocks have been thinned by injuries to Shaun Tait, Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle among others. Dhoni will lead a new-look Indian side in absence of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, while the bowling department will see the absence of speedster Zaheer Khan and spinners Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha.
