| 4.3 Munaf Patel to Marsh, out Lbw!! Good line and length bowling will always fetch you a wicket and Munaf Patel has done just that. Tight line on middle, Marsh looks to whip it, misses the line of the ball and the ball would have crashed into middle and leg, a much needed wicket for India, that will surely lift their sagging morale. Marsh lbw b Munaf Patel 6(14) <4s-1> |
24/1 |
| 18.6 Harbhajan to Watson, out Caught by Sehwag!!Nicely tossed up outside off, Watson goes for a mighty slog sweep, top edges it and Veeru takes a simple catch at 1st slip, the crowd are up on their feet, no big celebration from the Indians though. Watson c Sehwag b Harbhajan 49(49) <4s-10> |
85/2 |
| 20.4 Harbhajan to Ponting, out Caught by Gambhir!! Grips and spins back in from middle, Ponting gets an inside edge onto the pad, the ball lobs to the fielder at leg slip, are India back into this? Ponting c Gambhir b Harbhajan 27(57) <4s-3> |
90/3 |
| 36.3 Raina to White, out Lbw!! That was dead! Raina is bowling it quicker and fired that one in, White shuffles across, went to clip it away, missed it altogether, trapped plumb in front, Asoka has an easy decision to make, too late in the day for India? White lbw b Raina 25(48) |

| 10.4 Johnson to Jadeja, FOUR!!, catch dropped!! Spits up from the corridor of uncertainty, Jadeja fishes at it and gets a thick outside edge to 1st slip, that was dying on White and it carried to him too, he has put it down, India could have been six down... |
32/5 |
| 40.5 Johnson to Jadeja, FOUR!!, And this time Jadeja looks to hit out and is lucky to survive, blasts it towards mid off, the ball was dying on mid off, catch dropped!! tough chance as that was hit really hard! |
121/7 |
| 46.6 Bollinger to Praveen Kumar, no ball, FOUR!! Maiden FIFTY for PK! A high full toss, over waist height, Praveen Kumar uses the pace on that as he manouvers that behind point |
166/8 |
|
| 0.4 Johnson to Sehwag, out Bowled!! And Sehwag goes back now, Johnson enjoys the last laugh, fired in full and comes back in a bit, Sehwag is half-forward trying to defend it tentatively, went right through the defenses and the ball goes crashing into the stumps, India lose a big wicket. Sehwag b Johnson 6(4) <6s-1> |
7/1 |
| 0.6 Johnson to Gambhir, out Bowled!! Johnson keeps it really full and Gambhir plays a completely wrong shot, looks to flick it, head falling all over the place and he misses it completely, some swing in the air and off the surface, the off stump goes cartwheeling, Dream start for the comeback man and Australia, India lose their Delhites! Gambhir b Johnson 0(2) |
7/2 |
| 5.1 Bollinger to Tendulkar, out Caught&Bowled!! Bollinger lands it on a length spot and draws Tendulkar forward, playing through the line fails to keep it down, went straight towards the bowler who shows great reflexes on the followthrough, that stuck and Bollinger is pleasantly surprised with it, the Aussies are all over the moon, India in disarray after losing the batting giant. Tendulkar c and b Bollinger 10(17) <4s-2> |
23/3 |
| 7.6 Bollinger to Yuvraj, out Bowled!! Freakiest dismissal of the series, infact for a long long time now, Yuvraj looked to whip that on the leg side and is struck on the pad, he looked to kick it wide of the stumps but ended up deflecting it onto the stumps, this is a gift for Bollinger and Australia, Christmas comes early for them, what a dismissal! Yuvraj b Bollinger 6(16) <4s-1> |
24/4 |
| 8.6 Johnson to Raina, out Caught by Hauritz at mid on!! Tame dismissal for Raina now, this is a horrendous start for the Indians, something they would not want in their nightmares even and this is reality, Johnson picks up another as Raina tried to clip him away, chipped straight to mid on, all the dismissals have looked so casual and tame. Poor cricket! Raina c Hauritz b Johnson 0(5) |
27/5 |
| 30.1 Bollinger to Dhoni, out Lbw!! Dead duck on that occasion, Bollinger starts off with a fullish ball on the stumps, Dhoni goes back to work it away, rapped on the pads and that is plumb, Dhoni will have to take the long walk back now, Bollinger strikes gold with his first ball of the second spell. Dhoni lbw b Bollinger 24(77) <4s-1> |
75/6 |
| 30.3 Bollinger to Harbhajan, out Bowled!! Nothing special with that delivery, angled across as Harbhajan looks to run it down, gets a big inside edge and drags it back onto the stumps, second consecutive duck for Harbhajan. Harbhajan b Bollinger 0(2) |
75/7 |
| 44.1 Bollinger to Jadeja, out Caught by White!! That's his fifer! back of a length delivery on off, Jadeja looks to pull, is slightly late on the shot, gets it high on the bat and it spoons up to mid wicket where White completes the simple catch, good fighting knock! Jadeja c White b Bollinger 57(103) <4s-6> |
149/8 |
| 47.4 Watson to Nehra, out Bowled!! That's the way! Bowls it on a good length on the stumps, Nehra backs away and goes for the ugly swipe across the line, misses completely and the middle stump takes a beating! Nehra b Watson 4(12) |
170/9 |
| 47.6 Watson to Munaf Patel, out Bowled!! That's that! A full delivery on off stump, he backs away to late cut but doesn't connect as the off stump is uprooted! Why was he looking for the single anyway? We'll never know! Munaf Patel b Watson 0(2) |
170/10 |
|
| 0.2 Johnson to Sehwag, SIX!!, And take that, he goes Bang bang right from the word go! Sprayed wide outside off and Sehwag smacks it without moving his feet at all, crashed over covers for a big six, gets off the mark in grand style! |
6/0 |
| 43.1 McKay to Praveen Kumar, SIX!! Stand and delivery! Overpitched on the stumps, Praveen Kumar makes a little room and launches it straight down the ground, super hit! |
