Mighty Australian?s Crushed; Uphill Task as India Posts 613 in Delhi

“Old fashioned cricket” still works and India proved this when they crushed the Australian’s by 320 runs at Mohali.

Ricky Ponting stated before the start of the series that the Aussies were going to play a brand of cricket – “aggressive and new age”. Now at the halfway mark with the series standing at 1 – 0 to India, Ponting might have to eat his words.

India started strongly with both Virender Sehwag and Gautam Ghambir providing good starts, twice, and then the midddle order did the rest.

Sachin Tendulkar became the highest run scorer in Test cricket and Sourav Ganguly crossed the 7000 runs mark scoring a century along the way.

Mahendra Dhoni’s contribution was invaluable, his two half centuries helped put the game out of the Aussies reach and earned him man-of- the-match.

When it was India’s turn to bowl a new hero they found in debutant Amit Mishra. He became the sixth Indian to take five wickets on debut.

The Australian batting failed, twice, in a beauty of a track. The pressure of 469 runs in the 1st innings was mammoth. The Indian bolwers did their job and kept a tight leash throughout. The shot selection of some of the Aussie batsmen left a lot to be desired.

The tables have turned. It’s Australia’s turn to come up with the answer which eluded them in this match and get the formula right for the next two Tests.

Wow!!!!. What a performance from the Indian batsmen. Double centuries from opener Gautam Ghambir 206 and VVS Laxman 200 helped their team reach a mammoth score of 613 for 7.

The Australian bowling has failed once again to dismiss the batting team as the Indians made a declaration of 613 for seven. Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson both got beaten all over the Feroz Shah Kotla ground for over 100 runs each, with Johnson picking up 3 wickets in the process.

The Indians are doing what they are famous for on their home turf. We are entering the 3rd day of the Third Test and the Aussies are desperate to save or if a miracle happen actually win this one.

I am a sports reporter that started last 2006. I succeeded in getting that job and went on to become the sports news anchor on the evening news here in Trinidad and Tobago. My love and passion is all about cricket..When not following cricket, I follow my second favorite sport which is football. I?ve had the great pleasure of personally interviewing former Indian Captain Rahul Dravid, former Sri Lankan Captain Mahela Jayawardene , and our very own World Record Holder, Brian Lara.
