Australia tour of India

[al-Sagar]

two wicket less sessions for the aussies

[BANFAN]

Tendulkar needs a tripple. I think he will close his career after "Half Century of Centuries" in test cricket.

[BANFAN]

Vijay: "It was really special knock for me. I would like to dedicate this to my mom. It was a dream come true for me to play with Sachin. I was just focused on each ball and not try to think too far ahead. In that regard Sachin paaji helped me a lot.

It was hard to controll a laugh at the words.

[yaseer]

Tendulkar needs a triple. Probably the only thing he has not achieved yet.

India 491/7

India 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	M Vijay	c †Paine b Johnson	139	433	310	14	2	44.83
	100.3 139.5 kph, Australia get a wicket. Finally. Mitch breaks through. It was from round the stumps and it was the short-of-length delivery outside off stump. Vijay has a waft; he tries to force it through cover point and gets a thin nick. Madhu: "The 308 run stand is the 2nd highest 3rd wicket stand against Australia level with Viv Richards and Richie Richardson." What a partnership this has been for India. And a special day for Vijay who made his maiden ton today. 346/3
	V Sehwag	c Johnson b Hilfenhaus	30	39	28	4	1	107.14
	8.2 121.5 kph, Sehwag has holed out to deep square-leg! It was the slower bouncer and Sehwag, who was hit on the helmet in the previous delivery, went for the big pull shot. And he couldn't clear the deep square-leg fielder. Hilfenhaus roars! India have lost Sehwag. 37/1
	R Dravid	c North b Johnson	1	7	7	0	0	14.28
	9.6 143.0 kph, It will be the sixth time in the last year that Rahul has fallen to the left-arm seamer. It was all set up perfectly. Johnson hurled it full and outside off and Rahul went for his drive. Mistake. Edge and gone! Ponting leaps in joy. India wobbling. Enter SRT. 38/2
	SR Tendulkar	b George	214		363	22	2	58.95
	136.5 135.7 kph, And his marathon vigil ends. Peter George's first Test wicket. So many of you had predicted yesterday that it will be the new comer Peter George who will take SRT's wicket. It didn't happen immediately; it came off the 363rd ball that Tendulkar faced. What an innings this. This is how it ended: The ball was full and outside off, Tendulkar didn't move his feet, he just bent his knees and squatted for the square drive. The ball reversed in with the shiny side and he got a fatal inside edge. Fab knock ends. Tendulkar has propelled India towards 500 486/6
	CA Pujara	lbw b Johnson	4	3	3	1	0	133.33
	100.6 137.4 kph, That's a shooter! It has kept low and that lack of bounce has trapped Pujara. It's been given out lbw though I think it would have missed the leg stump. May be not. The replays say I am wrong; and that it would have hit the leg stump. It was delivered from wide of the crease round the stumps and it came in. It kept really low as it shot across towards a surprised Pujara who crouched and tried to get some bat in the way. He couldn't. The finger goes up. He looks at the umpire and slowly trudges off. A four and then he is gone. He waited for 6 hours to get to bat for India and he couldn't stay in for long. Cruel game and all that. Hawk Eye says it would have hit the leg stump. Ah! 350/4
	SK Raina	c Hilfenhaus b Clarke	32	62	43	5	0	74.41
	115.3 90.6 kph, Just before this delivery Ricky Ponting ( I can't confirm whether the bowler told him) brought the long-on inside the circle. Raina decides to take up the challenge. He rushed down the track for the big hit to long-on but he dragged it straight to mid-on where Hilfenhaus threaten to spill it but managed to hold on. 411/5
	MS Dhoni*†	not out	28		70	3	0	40.00
	Harbhajan Singh	c Ponting b Watson	4		4	1	0	100.00
	137.4 130.7 kph, Bat and pad! Done in by the reverse swing. It tailed in late, took the edge of the attempted flick, hit the pad and popped up to short midwicket. 491/7
	Z Khan	not out	0		2	0	0	0.00
	Extras	(b 6, lb 25, w 8)	39
	Total	(7 wickets; 138.2 overs)	491	(3.54 runs per over)

[Murad]

India all out for 495.

Lost the last 5 wickets for only 9 runs.

[shakibrulz]

shommannarthey!!

++++++

4th innings target has been set for 207. Whole day left. We will have a result. India has all the trump cards. If Sachin hits the winning runs then that would be the perfect ending for this test match. Com'on Johnson!!

[cricman]

Future of India sent in @ 3 Pujara

Check out his Domestic Record, only 22 years old, 3 triple Centuries and Average of 60+

[shakibrulz]

Pujara is the next big thing. Mark my words he'll be one of the legends of this era after Tendu/Dravid etc retires

[Nocturnal]

this is just what i write in my fb status:
Fascinating test series between two best team in the world. last test day 5......still not sure which way it will go!

enjoying it every second.
like this partnership : bijoy & pujara! future star making!

India 59/1 after 9 ov. 10 min before lunch!

[Nocturnal]

M.Bijoy gone for 37.
Ind 89/2 - need 118 runs with 8 wickets in hand.

[Nocturnal]

i wish aus can take few more quick wkt and make this test more interesting!

[Nocturnal]

19.4
Watson to Tendulkar, no run, 136.2 kph, shades of Adelaide! Tendulkar ducks into a short ball and gets hit on the shoulder by one that does not rise at all. Watson appeals, just like McGrath did in Adelaide, but Bowden says not out, unlike Harper did in 1999. Replays suggest the ball grazing the bails.

damn you billy! :p

[Nocturnal]

Ind - 125/2
Pujara - 56, Sachin - 12
Ind need 82 to win

[shakibrulz]

What an Innings on debut by Pujara - probably the best debut I've seen in a long while!

[simon]

Ind win by 7 wickets.
Congratulations,
I knew it will be hard time for the Aussies,they r not as good as they used to be,the ODI series in Eng, the Test & T20 series against Pak,they didn't look solid enough.
