Day 4, 2nd Test Australia vs India at Sydney Review + Full Highlights

As expected day didn't turn up like that, Indian spinners were suppose to get turn and bounce of the trace to make life difficult for Australian batsmen. Jaques and Hayed see through new ball nicely and Jaques just fell when he was looking for another test fifty. Pointing got out on a beautiful doosra from Harbhajan and on his way to be the bunny of his which Pointing denied after first test match.

After that it was all Hussy and Hayden, both start making runs after a period where they look like getting out on Indian spinners. When nothing was happening, Kumble tried RP Singh but luck was not with them as a clear nick onto the leg side was denied by the umpire.

When Hayden finally got out after making his 29th test century while Australian score was 250, Clark lasted only one delivery and was caught on slip by Dravid off Kumble who was on hartick after that which Symonds see off thought that was a LBW shout.

At the end of day achievement from Indian bowler was the scoring rate of Australian batsmen i.e. 3.39 which is nowhere the liking of Australian from quite some time now and looks like a sign of being on back foot. Other sign which they shown is before half hour of closing time umpires offered light to Australian batsmen which they accepted, no idea why they did that?

I don't find any miracle tomorrow neither from Australia nor from India to push hard to win this one. Australians would be quite happy to go to Perth with a lead of 1-0 and try to win match on fast Perth wicket which I am sure would be tailor made for Australian fast bowlers and India.
