Depleted India keen to keep Zimbabwe down  Brisbane, Jan 19: Fresh from their landmark victory against Australia in their own den, India will miss the services of an injured Sachin Tendulkar as they go into the triangular one-day series match against minnows Zimbabwe tomorrow, hoping to join the world champions atop the points table.  The visitors are down to their last fit man but Zimbabwe does not hold any terror to them in tomorrow's floodlit match at the Gabba.  Though Tendulkar has been ruled out for the match due to an ankle injury, the Indians were unlikely to risk either Virender Sehwag or Ajit Agarkar against the Zimbabweans as all three are under physio Andrew Leipus' attention and in various stages of mend.  It leaves captain Sourav Ganguly with narrow choices and forces his hand on Sanjay Bangar or Parthiv Patel, the two players who figure last in his scheme of things in the present series.  The Indians were in the second position on the table with 12 points from three outings and will be keen to garner the maximum six points to catch up with Australia who have 18 points from four matches. Zimbabwe are yet to open their account having lost all the three matches by huge margins. (Agencies) Published: Monday, January 19, 2004  Back to Index
