Story India hosts Australia for a five test series

[ashu2411]

Thanks for watching Zim and brett. On Day 2 India will be hoping some quick fire from Sachin and will look for a score around 320 in first inning.

Players are coming on the ground for Day 2 of first test match. First session is going to be very crucial for whole of the match. Clarke will bowl the first over of the day.

 

[ashu2411]

An early breakthrough for Australia just as they have hoped. Clarke gets Harbhajan in the very first over and India losses its eighth wickets without adding any further to total.

As sachin runs out of partners he starts to play some aggressive shots in air and hits his only six of the inning

 

[ashu2411]

Sachin quickly takes India past 300 as he develops another short partnership with Zaheer.

 

[ashu2411]

Sachin completes his 150 with a beautiful cover drive off Gillespie as India gets all out at 311. Sachin was the last man to be dismissed as he tries to score quickly after Zaheer's wicket.

 

[ashu2411]

India made 311 due to a brave effort from Sachin Tendulkar. Mcgrath and Gillespie took 4 wickets each as Brett Lee and Shane Warne unfortunately fails to claim any wicket although Warne had some very close calls.

Here is the spider for Sachin and all the partnerships detail.

 

[ashu2411]

Australia is about to start their batting with 311 runs behind.

 

[ashu2411]

this finishes off the second day's play as Australia scored 219 for the loss of 5 wickets. Australia is still 92 runs behind with five wickets in hand.

I have auto played the Australian batting but all the bowling changes for India were done by me.

Here is the Australian scorecard at the end of Second day.

 

[ramesh1986]

Australia will take lead in first inning. Good story keep going.

 

[ramesh1986]

It looks strange that Ganguly took 2 wickets in his two overs. Looks like Ganguly will make to the next match not due to his batting but bowling.

 

[brettLee]

match is well balanced

 

[ramesh1986]

match is well balanced

I think Australia is much better as if they get 30-40 run lead, India is surely going to lose. Hope Australia atleast wins here because they are losing in most of the other stories
