Indian bowlers clueless against Ponting and Clarke

In the fourth and final cricket test at Adelaide, hosts Australia were 257 for 3 in the first innings against India, Ricky Ponting on 112 and Skipper Michael Clarke on 91 were at the crease.Spearhead pacer Zaheer Khan struck early for India, bagging swashbuckling opener David Warner leg before on 8. Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin then claimed Shaun Marsh and Ed Cowan in quick succession.Earlier, Aussie Skipper Michael Clarke won the toss and elected to bat. Team India has made two changes in their line up. Medium pacer Vinay Kumar has been replaced by R. Ashwin, while Wriddhiman Saha has been included in place of MS Dhoni, who was banned by the ICC for one match for a slow over rate at Perth. Virender Sehwag is leading the Indian side today.Australia have already clinched the series, with victory in the first three tests.
