Aussies expect 'more grit' in Indian ODI response

Megan Schutt expects "more grit" from India's batters when they return to Allan Border Field after Australia handed them a series-opening thrashing.

The Australian bowler took 5-19 in Thursday's one-sided ODI series opener in Brisbane as the tourists were dismissed for 100, before the hosts chased down the victory target inside 17 overs.

The tourists lost their last six wickets for 11 runs, but their top order also battled to show any authority in a meek start to the three-game series that continues on Sunday in Brisbane.

"A bit more grit I reckon," Schutt offered when asked what she's expecting from the Indians' Brisbane encore.

"They're going to come out a bit better after their first game in these conditions.

"We would have bowled first anyway ... to (win the toss and) bat first was a pretty courageous decision.

"So they'll come up with some plans. We'll have to adjust ours for even longer, and that's all part of 50-over cricket."

Veteran quick Schutt, 31, hinted she had been working on her repertoire after adding another milestone to her list with a maiden ODI five-wicket haul.

"I didn't feel that great out there ... I thought Kimmy G (Garth) was by far the better bowler and had the ball on a string," she said.

"That allowed me to try some things and I got the reward with some wickets.

"I'm trying to add some strings to my bow ... as long as the body holds up (I'll be OK)."

Australia is without injured captain Alyssa Healy (knee), who is with the squad and hopeful of featuring in their tour of New Zealand later this month.

First-gamer Georgia Voll shone in Healy's absence, pasting her first delivery in international cricket to the cover boundary and finishing 46 not out on Thursday.

Game two is in Brisbane on Sunday, with the third in Perth next Wednesday.
