India-Australia match washed out

Covers on the pitch in Mumbai

The final one-day international between India and Australia was called off without a ball being bowled because of a waterlogged pitch in Mumbai.

The pitch for the seventh match in the series at the DY Patil Stadium was still too wet following torrential rain from Cyclone Phyan.

The umpires held two inspections but decided no play was possible.

World number one side Australia had already clinched the series by a taking a 4-2 lead on Sunday.

All-rounder Shane Watson and paceman Mitchell Johnson had left the tour before the match to avoid burn-out ahead of a busy winter schedule.

606: DEBATE
Should players be allowed to leave tours early?

The Australians face six Tests in eight weeks against West Indies and Pakistan, plus one-day and Twenty20 matches and a tour to New Zealand in early 2010.

The Australian season begins on 26 November with the first of three Tests against West Indies in Brisbane.

That series is set to finish on 20 December in Perth before the three-Test series against Pakistan begins with the traditional Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
