India vs Australia 2007 2nd ODI Kochi

we're ready for the toss the two captains are out here including the match referee chris broad i think ms dhoni has the coin go ahead it's a tale india of one it's a tale in india one now what have you decided we'll [Applause] support definitely what do you think of the surface i think it has been undercover for a long time you know it has been raining in coaching for the last i think more than 15 days so whatever it will do it will do in the morning and i think later on i of course it will get a bit slow but i think we will look to exploit the condition first off and of course we have uh spinners you know and ramesh both of them they are playing you got a bit of a tight corner the other night uh your ballers need to pull up their socks i guess in this one i think one of the worrying factors what was the death over you know the last few was i think we started off pretty well and we couldn't capitalize on that so definitely that's the area we need to work on any team changes well rabinotapa comes in place of star of ganguly and in place of our piecing have a good one thank you adam you'll be batting first on this track um your thoughts uh yeah it looks like a nice wicket um maybe a fraction of moisture in there at the moment but the sun's out and it's dried out a lot even since we've been here this morning no ricky ponting but you'll be pretty proud of how you how your bench players have come to the party and they've been really very good for australia yeah with that those injuries comes opportunity and the guys have taken it in the form of brad hadden uh james hopes came in really well so um yeah we feel like we've got a good depth in our squad and hopefully those guys can continue to perform and how do you look at the new game rules uh do you think that they'll help the game or is it too early a call i do think it'll make it a little bit more intriguing i think the power players have already proven that uh certainly as a captain you've got more to think about and i think it's it's given the spectators something to follow if you like when they're following the game and the ebbs and flows so yeah a lot more pressure on as a captain so i'll be happy when ricky comes back all the best thanks mate news from the center out here is that india won the toss and elected to bowl first all right india winning the toss and electing to feel first you're happy with the teams well the indian side again has got very strong batting a lot of depth but the real change for me is harbhajan singh coming in to team up with the off spinner power and that's because they think the uh the pitch is going to take a lot of turn and interestingly for australia we predicted uh adam gilchrist uh would not be capped in this game ricky ponting's still out so that's uh the wicket keepers at the helm but uh both sides look very strong on paper and one of the toughest decisions maybe one of the tougher decisions to make as a captain is it's been under the covers the pitch because it's been raining throughout you you reckon dhoni has made the right decision to bowl first i can understand why he's gone the way he has but i'm surprised the way he's gone why he's gone that way simply because they've been playing so well india batting first i'm talking about 2020 cricket here but uh they've been playing well batting first but as i say i can understand why they've elected to chase in a way maybe adam gilchrist will be pleased because australia invariably would want to use want to bat first yeah i i tell you it was one of those tosses where adam gilchrist looked relieved to have lost it and sometimes as a captain i think that's the case right we'll have to see wait and wait and see as to what happens in this particular game it's india taking on australia let's go ahead and join the first session of play so there's zahir khan with the ball of blade he's been tremendous in tremendous form didn't play the 2020s but he's back you can get the ball to move some freshness in the wicked there's a little bit of moisture in it for the indians hoping to exploit that moisture they're going to have to keep the ball up if you want to exploit moisture and the ball coming slow off the track deviating off the scene you've got to enough there's going to be a lot of that today let's see huge crowd yeah gilly if you're going to worry about every one of those you'd be in trouble you don't get through this game just a little bit of movement behind there they haven't covered up the uh the signboards either there then but that's an interesting one i think that's what it might be cover up the signboards you can actually see through the one boundary where you can see there's about uh 25 yards in from the normal boundary they've squeezed this ground by about 20 so they've had to put up a fake side speed if i could put it that way and you can see through it and that's what uh gilchrist was on about so they've now we've now got three side screens one behind the other and he's ready to go [Applause] well that gave you an indication the ball coming off slightly slower also the two batsmen will be feeling their way around the first couple of overs getting a feel of things to see how it all is going to come after pitching that's going to be important this monday international displayed a lot of domestic cricket now that's gone through it's a wide plus one so australia are away they've got two [Applause] but this is a big one from india's perspective well volds are here khan genuine edge second failure for adam gilchrist this is a way to get left-handers out plays it hard sachin tendulkar doesn't make mistakes with those nice regulation slip catch zahir khan strikes first blood for india adam gilchrist for a zero australia three for one adam gilchrist back in the pavilion brad hodge in now must be a little bit of pressure on him as well didn't get runs in the previous game srishan with the ball three wickets for him in the last game the local boy a lot of anticipation from him a lot of expectations i'll be very interested uh matthew hayden likes to get on the front foot but he does plant that big foot down the crease and not easy to change once you've started to go forward and if it swings in there could be an lbw up here well it's only a bad you called it barry but down the lake side already got a wicket and a couple of edges there's their batting uh to come michael clark in great form uh simon's all want to stamp his authority on this series and then the youngsters hadn't in hopes that's a look at the australian dressing room [Applause] that's the trophy that's what they're playing for [Applause] strategy working at the moment for india great bowling francis it really is intelligent bowling he knows the ball is swinging he knows that they're two slips there he knows it that we could keep it he draws his man like a moth to the light little edge emma stoney does the rest it did carry and brad hodge also for the second time fails for australia he's out for three what a start for india eight foot two australia eight for two we're into the fourth over michael clark 130 in the last game almost not out he was run out of the last ball of the 50th over but this is a terrific beginning a local lad has his first wicket in fact this is the first time a kerala cricketer is playing in his home ground for india so it's a proud moment for him srishan in good move from dhoni two steps in a gully now he's getting the ball to move and he's hitting the right spots at the moment those celebrations after srishan just got hit twice terrific that's a good shot that's true that'll be for the first boundary of the innings and it's 16 for two that's going to stay hit beautiful straight drive by matthew hayden very definite foot forward and that should give a lot of confidence oh that's a hallmark that's a trademark shot of matthew hayden coming hard at the bowler imposing himself big step forward full flow of the bat all the weight going into the shot so five over the stadium twenty one for two three chance with the ball hayden has gotten through that is a delightful stroke didn't try and overheat it he normally spanks it hard but that's four more to australia they're getting some momentum now just wonder how long the swing is gonna last because that one was floated up there and what are you saying here aaron nothing very isn't it oh that's true as well that's well played that'll trickle through for another boundary it's not as slow as we expected [Music] great shot was charging the bowler inside can't reduce the length but matthew hayden was good enough to put it away well matthew hayden in the build-up to this game we see the beautiful pull shot walking at the bowler the bowler tries to adjust by banging the ball in there's not a lot of pace and bounce in this pitch [Music] let's call quickly could be tight or directed would have been very very close and he calls straight away he's already out of his crease excellent pick up and throw bobby was home anyway been the head coach at the qriket academy center of excellence for a couple of years before taking on this role [Applause] that it's a very nice crowd just free unmoved very good delivery it's been a slow start from australia 46 for two just the four extras so far three of them have been wides and clark advances hits over the top first ball sensational shot all the way for four brings up the 50 to australia i think it was good anticipation most bowlers with the first delivery of the smell were bowler full of length and michael clark was quick to seize an opportunity charging down the pitch and the chest clears the man mark gotham can beat admit on sticking a lot of rain this outfield will be just the two brings out the 50 partnership in the air over the infield otapa will get there willie just manages to stop it three runs to the australians [Applause] it can't get better than this [Applause] steve bucknell is signal wide but he can still be out stumped and that's what's happened the skipper downey pulls off a brilliant stumping down leg side battan down the left side and clark over balancing tries to get his foot back oh that's close [Music] clark's walk so he's got to go michael clark 27 australia 67 for three well an interesting situation as developed michael clark thought he was out he was given out by the leg empire so he started to walk out and then the replay showed that it wasn't such a clear decision in the air it was touch and go and so he's waiting hoping that the decision could be uh turned in his favor is now signal for the third empire reflect odd decision well michael court clark walking off thought he was dismissed now the umpires called for the third umpire i think because of some communication from the australian dressing rooms let's have a close look at this falls out tries to get his foot back he's just short of the line there is the bale lifted looks so very tight though i think it'd still be given out but uh it uh did appear as if the leg empire was uh completely in control but that replay showed us that it was uh nothing to choose between the two whether to give that one out or not out the back leg was on the line and the line belongs to the umpire as they say we all wait out is the call from the third empire as well [Applause] so the wicked has to be credited to ms dhoni really was a fantastic take down the lakeside simons is the new man in range of experiences class oh that's a good one for me and almost a first ball dismissal matthew hayden is still out there he's lost michael clark going to see brilliant stumbling from ms dhoni oh that's age general before bottom edged in fact that's where he was looking at uh andrew simon but four runs all the same i don't think so inconsistent bounce from this end hey simon's got done first ball by bataan with the lack of bounce there but that's what happens when you don't have a third man which is a very very well a very fine third man saves a lot of boundaries in one day cricket again and maybe this time a little deliberate maybe he was crafty after all oh he's crafty don't worry about that i still think he's been beaten by the line but he may have just manipulated his wrists at the last minute and i think he has so that's an excellent shot i don't know what that really needs to think about his fields there there's a man at third or four slip he's not going to get a catch there as we see on the left of the screen he's not saving runs he's better off at first slip or having a fine third man and maybe a gully in place this time the more authentic one that's been slammed through the covers for four it's 83 for three despite the three fours last over they know that andrew simons is still finding his feet back in this form of the game and he goes over the top all the way for six months to hit there from simon's just showing the power i don't think he even middled that muscled it all the way so simon throws it back on to aberdeen that's what he's capable of now take a look at this for a shot there's a long one in position and he's taken that fielder on he's gone just over him so he's he's getting some confidence oh gosh didn't know much about that that turn well there's no pace to work with so as a batsman you've got to make your own whether you're sweeping or coming down using your feet and driving that's what he's going to do not for the meat of the bat but into the crowd magnificent hit brings on the 100 it's three for three oh he's such an exciting player andrew simons end of the 22nd over australia 103 for three so simon's advancing testing it his own strength did not middle that at all but as we talked about the power with simon's always got enough of it to reach the boundary [Music] that's it but he's got it fine and he probably will get a boundary yes he does so that's a welcome boundary for hidden well for one you don't have to push hard for twos and threes in this hot conditions with simon hayden just getting enough on that and the run's been okay we thought it'd be a little bit slower with the outfield and the rain that we've had in the last few [Music] well days a difficult one to get you're pulling from over the wicket on a turning track so many ifs in that appeal around the wicket now and hayden is gone over the top big hit it says 50 with this majestic hit for six [Applause] and that's a 50 for matthew hayden yeah another one an international cricket he liked the line of that harbingen coming over the wicket on leg stump helps it on its way nice and controlled he knows it's going all the way from the moment it leaves the bat superb shot he's really a gifted cricketer [Applause] starts off with a leggy and andrew simon starts off his little battle with sachin with a ferocious pull shot for a four [Applause] yeah very tough to come on when you haven't bowled for quite some time and such and just dragging everyone down very slow wicked there's a bit of turn there but the ball just sits up for andrew simons [Applause] the indisputed it will vanish gothic at point with fielding uh can be difficult on a soggy outfield with the ball at times has traveled and damp is just stopped midway through the flight it's a bit of a worry for india isn't it i've had them eight foot two they had them for four in the first game and both times the australians have wriggled off the hook and that must be a little bit of concern for uh doni big hit massive brilliantly done matthew hayden at his very best these boundaries are way too small for these guys [Applause] big bats stand and deliver matthew hayden does it again set himself gave himself a little bit of room by just shimming down the leg side [Applause] it really had to be a good one to get rid of matthew ms tony pulls one out the hat matthew hayden's got it apart this is a little bit of reverse swing watch this just angle in nicely bold straight through the gate beautiful yorker from baton he's happy hayden's on his way and drinks have been brought onto the field as matthew hayden departs 160 for [Music] four it away for one zaya khan is the laboring after the ball he gets there eventually andrew simons is now 51 163 for four [Applause] [Music] but india got to get another wicket here brad hadden is the new man at the crease slipped and a forward short leg for harvey johnson he likes the spinners man mid wicket will just watch the ball sail over it's the toe end of the bed as you can see from the reaction i've had it but it's gone the distance well he took the filter on out there cleared his head but only just so brad hadn't backing himself in i think he was trying to hit it a little bit further behind square not quite out of the middle on a good delivery good follow-up from harbhajan singh however it's going to cost him two more runs great effort he likes to play the spinners and he likes to play next side brad had it oh great delivery it's gone through everything that'll be runs for more for australia as signal buys there was turn there was extra bit of bounce there's always going to be a difficulty for donnie yeah perfect offspin bowling really hit the rough through the gate very difficult for dhoni as well extra bounce out of the rough beat the batter and the keeper and he's put it away quite easily too much time on a slow pitch when you pull it short of a length it's easy pickings for henry simons that that boundary comes with 200 for australia yeah big gap at mid wicket andrew simons would have a few areas mapped out where he'd like to score and on that occasion hit it for four and now showing that it's not all about power a delicate little shot a little bit of room outside off stump and just glided it down third man four more runs to andrew simons looking dangerous back to back boundaries nine runs of the first three balls well anticipated he expected the quicker delivery again and created the width andrew silence not getting too close to the delivery that's with the wind and it's gone many a mile fantastic striker of the cricket ball and it stayed hit from the moment it left the bat 50 partnership as well for haddon and and shiva was right on the money hitting with the wind that's gone fine away from the fielders airplane will give it a momentarily chase using the base of that yorker very cleverly done there by now he's having a good match coming in playing very effective cricket risk-free cricket but very effective indeed slices it away from the point fielder that part will uh rush away to the boundary that boundary coming just at the right time for the aussies just that hint of room it's not the easiest thing to do to keep hitting the block hole beautifully done very deliberate open the face of the bad beating that field up at point getting four runs so there's the aussie support one in seventy seven thousand one in a billion that's a very strong hit sachin tendulkar in the end had no hope such a muscular massive hitter andrew simons just muscled his way through hey this has got to be a mishit it hit the bottom of the bat with the inside half and yet it went to fend for four on a on a slow outfield you respect his reputation because he can lift the tempo anytime that's a very good shot very good straight drive from hen that boundary also raises australia's 250. well if we told you that this is a slow outfield it stands cancer it certainly is not a slow outfield just take a look at that again on the rise and where the weight on the back foot he's still managed to get that with a long on-fielder who didn't have any chance to move [Applause] but what they're doing the aussies are standing outside the crews are actually attacking and taking it on the up attacking the bowling hatton again a phenomenal 48 not out just 46 84 of 78 simon so you can imagine obviously slow wickets don't really bother them slow delivery kevin was looking to pop it somewhere over a big big defense srisan once again eyeballing the batsman on his way back he'll meet andrew simons gives him a bit of company he's appealing for a run-out this is turning out to be just a little bit nasty out there really certainly dhoni has gone and sort of uh stabilized the situation that's well done tony the empire obviously not wanting to give an audio in fact the ball would probably be dead by the time srishan reached back there [Applause] could have been another twister for sure thank goodness uh for his sake that ms dhoni came in and got settled the situation and will come back uh very fiscally for the second one it's 50 for it no claps forehead but it's been that kind of innings really nobody has really kept a mark on his progress there you go well played exceedingly well played rameez you don't get to 50 and 48 and go pretty much unnoticed it's been risk-free cricket and that is probably going to find the fence again this fight gotham come here so things are going very right for australia at the moment well he had got uh full control of that slow delivery and put it away off the back foot through the offside plenty of sawdust yeah i don't think he was trying to place that breadhead he was giving it everything another slow ball s3 but hadn't hit gets it low on the bat still goes for four so good timing again so brad had 20 second boundary for the australians and the bats these days are so big you don't have to hit it in the middle hit it somewhere powerful man going for the block hole missing four well three cents got to work something out here maybe needs to bowl some yorkers not give you anything for having to get onto it just gets on the leg and he's got away with that as well simon's in the air will it be caught involved three santas under it and he's taken it the home boys and listen to the crowd a few words on the way out oh there's some action out there i think simon's might have got to send off this will add a little bit of spice when uh well if he gets to bet simon's might get to bowl but he has got a wicket last couple of hours simon's again trying to smash it at the park a little bit slower than he anticipated well disguised takes the catch and then throws the ball higher than from where it came down is he happy yes he is fifth wicket is down for australia whoopsie daisy bye bye andrew we'll see you later 268 for five have you seen the bowling barry yeah i think they uh panicked in the middle a little bit again that lost 35 to 50 overs again it's cost him a few honestly put away hopes off the mark queensland connection have done it for australia this time 1875 and uh simon's 87. well he loves to charge and hit back over the bowler's head brad hammy gets done there but he's going to get away with it will it go all the way for four it has no dive so brad hadn't has a smile there he knows he's got away with four runs there yeah done in the flight and a little bit of spin watch this just turns a bit he's got such a big edge to his bat it just flies away feel the no chance it's out here again balls full and gets onto it as he got onto a well enough before all the way and it has she's lack of communication in the field there he felt like he didn't actually middle that ball both fielders just let it go round for four you're right you've got a call somebody should have dobbed you because there's two fielders are close and i reckon the wrong one died if round dived and uh if and bataan died but uh i think abhijon was a man bonus for hadn't there any slog sweeps again that's gone miles into the second tier he's in tremendous form get their arms up there superb shot i reckon that's a 10. that's an absolute monster he's just put everything into it and it's hit off the middle we said what happens off the edge well this is what happens when it hits the middle that's gone miles reckon if you were in that second tier you wouldn't think you'd be getting a catch and they nearly did so zahir khan now coming around the wicket yorkers he'll be striving for and he's pulled a wide he's gonna have to bowl it again indian's not happy he was walking around the crease and he did move quite a long way to the offside and that was uh here phone followed him but it was still quarter wide there's a two batsman going hard to get the breakthrough and that is superb shot we've seen some power from hadden and this is just superb timing improvised 295 for five such a great shot isn't it coming around the wicket knows that zahir khan is gonna bowl full gets under it no one's there a client leg paul runs all the way [Music] takes an easy catch the sixth wicket is down for the australians through sam picks up his third wicket again against the australians but for james hopes nothing wrong with that yeah very tough when you come in played well in the last game the slower delivery and very very hard to stop your shot just chipped it in the air nice easy comfortable catch you like those even at fielding practice you'll like those so james hypes has got to def got to depart he's out for four 297 for six yep another leg spinner head minds up it's two four quickly pushing the two they'll only get the one so a lot of variety here from sri san 300 up the australians would be very very happy with that so one ball to go so last ball now bret lee what can he do and to wide and it's going to go for four should never assume anything in cricket no i just did and we've got another ball to go and that was a real why striving for the orca [Music] geez good luck hitting that berry yeah paul cricket [Music] so what this should be the last ball barry another just the single there i don't think they would have gone back for two there so australia after 50 overs finish up with 306 and it's that man on screen brad had 87 off 89 balls there's a standing captain adam gilchrist with the injury to ricky ponting he'd be happy with the runs but brad hadn't in consecutive innings barry has been very very impressive superb he really has played well you don't get your opportunities too often in the australian side and brad hadn't has taken his it's a golden opportunity he's been presented and he's played quite beautifully 87 not out and listening 69 in bangalore so he's made every post a winner australia 306 for six they got 308 in bangalore and they squeezed out of the danger zone again they were eight for two and they've put themselves to 306 for six mainly through the queensland connection hayden got 75. simon's got 90 brad hadn't got 87 not out and the bowlers have struggled it started right barry winning the toss getting some early wickets of gilchrist and hodge with swing but matthew hayden batted beautifully it was tough but he made sure he built a partnership with clark and andrew simons who come in with not a lot of form was brilliant with 87 of 83 balls and brad hadn't 87 off 69 balls consecutive 50s for him in this competition to get that score up to 306 disappointing 21 extras and the partnerships well clark and hayden was handy but the simon's hayden was excellent and then andrew simons and brad had once they got together he felt like the game really started to go away from the indians there we go the opening has come out big applause from this big crowd tendulkar and gautam gambia it is the left right combination there will be plenty of support from the home side this man's got to come good he's out early in the last match and bangalore sachin tendulkar that's the target india need 307 to win from the 50 overs at 6.14 runs per over it's good afternoon shiver and good afternoon to all of our viewers around the world wherever you may be yes looking forward to an exciting run chase sensational player over the years and he's still got a lot of good cricket ahead of him and there's some reasonable stats there nearly 15 and a half thousand runs at 44 41 hundreds for at least so he's getting on a little bit but he's also got a very good record at one day level [Music] here we go ball number one from lee [Applause] the swing could be a wide yes it is a little swing though on that occasion you'll be disappointed with the wide but it'd be heartened by the swing bret lee india this morning got the ball swinging around but didn't last very long only six or seven over so australia got to make the most of this early swing it's a good take from adam gilchrist as well that could have gone away but good hands from gilchrist great delivery again the corridor of uncertainty feet not moving [Music] this is much better more convincing a little more authority on that shot i'll bring up the boundary and give the young man a little bit of confidence full of delivery from mitchell johnson watch his bottom hand come into play here bang good batting wasn't a bad delivery probably just outside off stump and he's got it over mid on that's through the gap hasn't been turned too well we'll get off the mark huge road from the crowd tendulkar picks up two i only got two for this shot but everything was perfect pretty much except for the time he hit it hit the ball straight into the ground which took the pace off the ball it must feel slightly cooler there on top it's the hottest part of the day and he's both him what a delivery he's got this begin taking ability johnson this one has come back a long way and gartham dumbie has to go success again early for mitchell johnson good start to the series for him nice and confidence adam gilchrist said he's bowling well and he is just came back into the left hand and took the old top of off stump and he is ecstatic mitchell johnson just about the perfect delivery top of off stump and gambia has to go seven india 11 for one robin uttapa comes in at number three made a big remark just before the series gets the outside edge hasn't carried to get risk but we'll get a boundary and get off the mark in an unconvincing manner [Applause] adam gilchrist got a horrible bounce after the edge but all the same ultra power off the mark doesn't matter how you get off the mark sometimes off the toe of the bat and went straight down into sandy spot really got him in the face adam gilchrist no mouth guard this worked a bit very nicely very fine back-to-back boundaries the first one unconvincing this one very convincing there's the fire two deliveries faced two fours on that occasion wasn't a great delivery for mitchell johnson down the left side fine legs very square because mitchell johnson would have been told to bowl on the stumps or outside off stump a bit dave got from the empire and he's called it a white johnson isn't happy a corridor of uncertainty that smashed away just a little bit of weight on that occasion and utapa [Applause] just looks a little bit flat to me at the moment not really charging in and wide half volley and uttapa square drive he's been impressive already only face the eight deliveries three fours and again it's gone in the air this is a quick out drill might just have enough to get to the fence lens the over the boundary it's 29 for one that's woken the crowd up two consecutive fours front foot drives from uttar park this time on the up it was in the air but the best thing was right in the gap not exactly where he wanted it and brett lee knew just a little bit too much width outside off stump that's right he was too far outside off stump last over so adam gilchrist is saying that's bowl stump to stump for a while oh and he's hammered him over straight down the ground off the front foot it wasn't full at all what's the part just straying onto the front foot and went bang six runs and for the moment he is living up to his promise fighting fire with fire perfect example easily the best shot of the match so far we've been a bit of a surprise for lee nobody's done this to him i don't remember anybody doing this to him for the full shot and it's gone many a mile it's a no ball as well is it a front foot no ball is it a free hit it's definitely a free hit steve buckner just about to signal but what about the shot brett lee looking to intimidate sessions to dawk and at those stage did he try and keep that on the ground he was always going for six and it was right out of the middle of the bat went a long way over the boundary and now we've got a free hit so just to remind everyone he can be out run out that's the only way he can be dismissed so basically it is a free hit [Applause] well for the first time in india it's a free hit and what's gonna happen tendulkar the man on strike and the balls lost they'll have to wait for a while they can't find the ball they come out essentia balls just into the center the australian captain who's not playing today so he's not allowed to change the field field has to stay the same here he comes free hit he cleared his front leg but lee was up to it right into the block all well hats off to the bowler there brett lee went for the yorker and executed it very well there goes clears the front leg and i was just too well bowled from bret lee sachin when he saw where it was he just tried to glide it down maybe wide of third man for four and there on the left side four more runs session sendoka the crowd loving it [Applause] what a shot to bring up india's 50 it was almost into the block hole till the magic of tendulkar came out right into the block hole and what our player is that's why he's one of the best easily puts it away to the boundary look at the wrist work generates a great deal of power and the placement is good enough great start for india after the early loss of gambia it's been great entertainment 39 the partnership of just 24 balls you know they've got to come together as a group and lead the younger players johnson again tendulkar pushes through it gets through the field just settled for two michael clark just jumping over the ball end of the eighth over india 53 for one clark's first ball punch back all the way brilliant shot hasn't gone all the way uttabas doesn't let clark settle he's on his merry way 29 or 15 balls well that's the way he plays he gets onto the front foot he attacks he's very aggressive very sure of what he wants to do is no confusion in his mind the wobbly scene that's the cross seam but just water this what a terrific shot oh he opens up and he's out hitting on the up andrew simons takes a neat catch at a catching cover stuart clark strikes in his first over and the little masters on his way well that's a huge blow for india's chances now that was the strategically placed andrew simon's square of the wicket now that's been known to be a little bit of a problem area for tendulkar he plays on the up finds that fielder didn't get too much power behind it either and clark very very quick on the reflexes that's a big blow big wicket a bigger part in simon's so it's 58 for two tendulkar gone for 16. so clark into yuvraj singh singh looked very very confident straight away so successful either for the australians 58 for two oh another big shot over the top he is a beautiful timer of the ball all the why what a shot that is the belligerence of youth or the uninhibitedness of his stroke play now magnificent there's nothing wrong with that that is pretty much risk-free cricket terrific ricketing shot great position great follow-through of the bat take a look at that a slower delivery picked it up well and played it out of the park mitch johnson knows it too look at him oh what a way to start [Laughter] free hit on no warm-ups at the bowling christ worries for adam gilchrist oh this is going to be a worry goodness me that is that's harsh it's a free hit you raj he goes and he goes well over mid on all the way for six he's in good six hitting form at the moment really guilford is not happy about the no ball he's questioning he's questioning it i'm sure not happy at all well he's obviously seen it on the screen adam gilchrist it seemed like a harsh call and you've already seen well he's done the right thing free hit hasn't tried to overhit the ball hopes striving for a yorker couldn't quite get it right hopes again onto the page you've raj beautiful timing brett lee's out there to do the mopping up [Music] so hayden are catching cover as hopes runs in again good length and that's out on his way aaron hull you've been talking about how uvraj has to watch his hands on this slower pitch here in coaching and he finds himself on the way massive wicket for the australians well it gives me a feeling of deja vu i've seen this happen so often that he comes down hard on deliveries and on a slower track a slower delivery this is what can happen there he is he couldn't quite control it couldn't manage the down part of his bed and straight into hayden's hands so well great positioning for that fielder yuvraj has gone for 10 india now 79.3 well many crisis for india and if you want one man coming in in the middle of a crisis like this it's real driver been a superb player over a number of years now but i think the main thing on his mind will be is to stop the wicked flow and start to build a partnership there's been flashes of brilliance in this indian inning so far but not collectively an average of 40 1200s best of 153 8150s so he knows how to score runs so james hopes comes in a wickedness first over and a good start hitting the deck hard three big blows for india they desperately need a partnership now it's all on uthapa and dravid moro he's got to be there for the long haul that's gone through andrew simons with a dive but he couldn't do anything about it raul drove it is off the mark with a four signature shot too from dravid just easing it away through the gap on the off side just a little bit of width from uh hope's playing attempt from andrew simons you can see there just that width unusual stance very closed off stance for tougher gets a long way across he's gone across the line of that one and given by the umpire took a long time to come but in the end great result for australia uthappa was playing across the line early on as well this time there is a good result for australia not so good for otapa closed-door stance he gets his foot a long way across he's always susceptible to the lbw would have seen the leg stump there both gilchrist and clark went up straight away they knew and i think you'll find this one's hitting watch how the foot goes the front foot goes such a long way across closes himself off and then he tries to play it away on the on side you can see there the legs dump exposed up goes gilchrist up goes the umpire's finger the top has got to go very entertaining 41 87 for four [Music] the onus is now on the captain really to uh turn it around for his team m estonia is out there his partner israel draw it who is still uh young at the trees only six australia experimenting with all those new kinds of field positions for uh different batsmen and that is where they've been successful oh that's a delicate shot from raul drama but he's got plenty of class and there was class written all over that shot that'll relieve some nerves that's a beauty it really is a trademark shot from raw driver just using the angle of the bat races away for four i think the overs from now until 35 are going to be quite crucial they need a partnership in india and these are the two experienced players to do it and if they're still there at over 34 35 then they'll have a harder ball to work with this is going to get very soft very quickly this ball on this type of surface oh they've thrown down the stumps they're asking a question the third empire's referral is required by the umpire ambassador butner is not sure australians look pretty pleased with what has happened out there raul drove it caught napping he certainly was i think he thought it was going to go the other end he was only just ambling away and adam gilchrist opted to go for the non-strikers in it's much easier to go that in and roll drive it in the air and i tell you what it might have just got there that's going to be very very close and oh much he won't do that again that was too close for comfort he's in not out is the call and i'm sure uh raul david would now uh breathe a sigh of relief almost a corner raul charlotte what thinking from adam gilchrist he was sharp on his feet quickly realized that raul drove it was just ambling across for that single there's the old watch dance and then the x-men grip there's that pull shot he finds the gap there's a feeler there who gets across very quickly can't be easy running around on those fringe areas of the ground where the ground is still muddy and still waterlogged certain areas strong bottom and grip really shovels it with that bottom hand and you've got to be careful on tracks like this because it's not coming on and if you tend to shovel with your bottom hand then you've got the bat angled and it's uh usually presented catch to middle for court and bolt by getting you in this kind of frame of mind four down 95 on the board last recognized all-rounder really button can back but not for a longer period of time so this partnership really is the last real hope for india and they need a massive effort from them a little confused tony on how to really tackle this he's a cool customer he's biting his time getting settled can't afford to take too many risks at this stage well the important thing from india's point of view is they have a lot of movers as you can see on your screen 31 hours after this and dhoni is the kind of player if you can play himself in can be dangerous even can look at 8900 snow in the last 7 or 8 hours it's just about one good partnership didn't quite get hold of it but singles singles have got to be the order of the day you've got to get in three singles and over maybe a two and you're in business because then that [Music] staves the way the pressure from you great opportunity for another one here might not be the triple hundred 331 was one of them we'll come back to that that is a brilliant hit four to relieve some pressure made it look very simple wasn't a half volley good aggression from raul robert just under 130k is the last deliberate was hit on the up was in the air but hit hard enough to pass the bowler pretty quickly and race away to the fence much needed boundary for india also brings up the hundred he's gonna get a couple there he's gonna be content with just one it's very difficult as an umpire to give leg before when somebody like michael clark gets so wide of the crease look how far across his front leg goes and from the angle the ball's got to turn it's got to turn if it carries on with an angle it's not on this place yes it does have to straighten uh pretty much perceptibly for the empire to be interested split that fine he's going to press for two drop it he's gonna get it as well so five of the over it's 108 for four well i was privileged to be there watching that 183 against sri lanka they were chasing stunning enemies that was that's going to be a white plus one short ball and that's been clubbed before didn't quite imagine he'd get so much power on that one not only power but tremendous placement as well welcome boundary marginally shorter length the pitch is slow as i mentioned so it gives the batsman enough time a little more time than normal to be able to pick a spot and tony does them there's good sensible batting following the boundary i think he just gets into position very quickly sometimes now like this shot he's just making plays for himself with drawing the left-hander is googly which is very effective which turns radically and right across the right-hander short ball and that's been dispatched and that is six that is a big hit welcome to the ball increase right on this is the period of play that india will have to cash in michael clark and hawke pulling together we've got to get a lot of runs in this period short delivery asking for the punishment that it got dropped bring his bottom hand into play to get the elevation and the distance and that is the just pulling it down red hog short drop it ready in position and waiting just hoisted it over but wicked a bit of a repair job being done by these two 129 for four you've got to feel that india's lost one wicket too many that's the pressure now that's the one that holds up that's a flatter delivery it's coming slow off the track just take a look if there's a puff of dust there not really but their ball is turning that's gone through four welcome runs from india's perspective buys signal not wide mind you buys it's down the leg side though but very close obviously well gilchrist moved a long way he may have looked at the deviation off the bed it does move a long way it passes well between his legs just stayed a little low well you've got to question that call why wasn't that why anyway four runs all the same [Music] he's gone for it and what a hit has he held on he has it's an even better catch taken there mitchell johnson now it looked like headed into the stands fell down in and look at the way mitchell johnson has latched on to that he found himself a position and just inches from the boundary this is a very difficult catch take a look well was in the air for a long long time he got the elevation not the distance marginally shot but look at that he had to keep his eye one eye on the boundary line and watch the ball till the very end magnificent take what a wicket look at the joy and hog space he knows it's an important wicket travis the man dismissed he's gone for 31 india they've lost their fifth wicket to 136. well the new man in israel bataan india has lost their fifth a vital breakthrough from red hog drive it back in the pavilion oh yes when he's played it fine he wants to but he's going to have to settle for one great cricket there by the australians to dismiss jarvan what a great catch always next to the boundary shiva is impossible today now this was certainly at one stage headed for a six now take a look at him look at the balance he knew exactly where the rope was very commendable indeed he's grown in confidence after picking up the weekend to draw with red hog look at this perfect delivery just a little bit of curb and then dipping just coming turn in bounce good take by kill chris was quick to get the wheels off oh the turn was he there maybe just about him definitely worth going upstairs to the third empire well yes you can say that but close but he was in troubling the batsman has he got his man maybe in fact outside of stomp it's 137 for five gives it a real rip this one pitching in the foot marks and the impact marginally outside the right of box top top work now for the indians but still plenty of potential there at the back when ms dhoni is still there bataan plenty of stroke play there they just need to build a partnership doing a good job michael clark barry they haven't played the spin as well at all remember you you expect people from the subcontinent they've always played the spinners so well but there's a little bit of turnout there something you wouldn't expect in a one-day game and you're right michael clark's done a pretty good job now brad hogg has joined him the spin twins are on well he does have a test best bowling figures of six for nine michael clark in india much my disappointment he must drinks after that because he's never going to beat that he is never going to beat that how many blokes would have six for nine in the test history and michael clinton's got it in the one series like he debuted 151 on debut been impressed by their fielding positions brought on by adam gilchrist or indecision run out is on and a backhand flick on the stumps michael clark's confident steve buckner asked for the third umpire i thought firstly barry direct hit the time was gone but it was pretty handy workbook right fantastic work by clark because he had to go the wrong way then flick it with the back of the hand and uh it's not easy to know exactly where their stumps are big indecision here watch michael clock he has to go left here quite a long way doesn't know where the stumps is and then just flicks it on oh well out baton's gone long way out no wonder mark o'clock was celebrating not only can he bowl but he can feel as well yet mark war would call that the backhand panther and bataan is on his way indecision there wasn't that between dhoni and batan and it's cost him his wicket yeah i don't know what he was thinking of dhoni had the caller was in front of the wicket and he set off and then stopped so he's left his partner for dead because baton knew that it was always going to be tight michael clark picks it up on the high volley and flicks it back that's great work baton going 139 for six [Music] always pretty competitive aren't they barry yeah they hate getting out to each other they really do have a job with a bit of work to do here but he is a good striker of the ball it's all falling apart for india oh yes plenty of turn not easy when you first come in he set off dhoni knowing that it was going to be tight he knew it was to the left hand and look at this from clock what work that is it really is some slick work from michael clark yeah indoor cricket special there so clark three-dimensional cricket cricketer batball and in the field having time just to punch through the offside so he's off the mark now yeah out of the rough too i'll tell you what that wonderful drop catch by some people but not from us 141 for six an excellent job 4.4 overs number 19. it gets through he's over so quickly too that's what surprises you you look up and then suddenly he's got through five overs in absolutely no time at all and you've looked behind the run right haven't meant to use andrew simons as well so they've still got plenty up their sleeve the australians shorter ball full shot from doni just for the single he'll keep the strike 144 for six that's the run-rate story india still on the run rate they need a big partnership though oh yes another quick single there he's got a beautiful arm michael clarke thousand five hundred runs now in monday internationals for donating sweep shot from harvard and it's in the air will it be caught just picked up on the first bounce by brad hadden probably enjoying himself running around the outfield generally the wicked keeper for new south wales i've been in fantastic form with the bat here so far he got a little bit of a top edge he thought he was in business brad hadn't eventually had to opt out with a bounce you got to watch the bounce barry though haven't you and big slog here from dhoni he's gone all the way over mid wicket and that's what we're talking about the power from this man dangerous player first six for the innings they messed only he's not going to hold back watch him he swings himself off his feet it was never going anywhere else except out of the ground is this just done is this the start [Music] all right that's good betting not getting too emotional and caught up with it all gets himself off strike [Music] so michael clark just playing around with his field harvard and sing on strike you imagine he'll slog sweep or try and hit straight down the ground here so clark again and that's a stumping good work from gilchrist neat stuff and michael clarks good tours continuing now with the ball i'll tell you what that's brilliant that is brilliant there's a few words being uh exchanged here i don't know quite who's uh saying what to her habajar is not happy with what was said to him but he's on his way smart bit of wicket keeping from adam gilchrist and uh just shows the two captains can both do the same thing he's way out of his ground adam gilchrist knows that so does michael clark and india's slide further into a little bit of trouble harbhajan singh he's gone well stumped by gilchrist 154 for seven our ramish power comes to the crease didn't have a great day with the ball but he's got a big opportunity here plenty of time to back nearly 20 overs he's captains out there and well set tony 30 off 42 balls he just needs some support down the other end oh oh it's a punch down he's got a single always a good feeling getting off the mark first ball yeah fair cool very athletic bretley oh missed everything missed everything what's an eyeball that's already cost four [Music] so we're now got a free hit and that's hard work on adam gilchrist absolute brother so well over the line so now free hit for remiss power he bowled a previous no ball brett lee but backed up with a excellent yorker outside off stump that'd be not a bad option here just over the top ends up with a four just over the top off the bottom of the bat but uh just threw enough of the bat at it to get it over the top that's put away into the gap will it travel the distance yes it does [Applause] six again change the ball change the tactics harder ball and that's disappeared over cover it's going to be tough call for the indian team cleaned him up it was a quicker delivery clearly late in getting around that one yeah just skidded on and short of a length power looking to go towards that mid wicket area takes leg stump so powers innings comes to an end starting to look promising there made 17 off 18 deliveries india now 179 for eight azir khan is the new man in stretching himself when it uh appears to be just a little bit dirty during the middle patch of the innings dhoni will once again cause a khan for two will feel it by heading i think he's made a safe attempt indian batting collapse they lost early wickets and could never recover from that jolt that should be taken not a good shot from didn't read the spin on that one from hawk he can smile he was aiming to put it away over midwicket it was the other one caught it point he's gone north wicket forced brad hogg gets his second at the back of the hand top edge going for the big one can't be blamed for that hog's pretty happy isn't he hasn't played a lot of cricket of late so he gets his second wickets are here calm gone for three india now 190 for nine shree sand the hometown hero [Applause] just 24 years of age a good start to his career that was a problem effort fantastic commitment in the deep just a single michael clark the fielder come on george come on didn't take the single mind to sing dhoni he thought there was a boundary in it again there is a man in the deep get the fence i certainly got some power and aggression once he middles the ball generally goes all the way before so some reward here very much better connection will be just wired to the fielder just taken the single i went high for a moment brad hadn't would have thought i'm going to get to this not used to running too much in the hatfield normally got the gloves on it's about making the most of the opportunities probably got a game through ricky ponting's injury will be 50 for miners his first 50 as indian captain will be hoping he gets many more it's 210th tonight [Music] low facilitation boundaries just the two fours and a six plenty of singles taken by dhoni there's still a hint of that he might explode though doni isn't it he's really sized it up swinging hard he's just not getting him right in the areas that he wants we're doing good favours as this series goes on that's got to be a very optimistic show for lbw quite rightly been selected for australia for those performances dany has a big slot will refuse the single didn't like how much he got in that one well if you talk about corridor of uncertainty there's a huge amount of bulls in that area just on off stump around that five to seven yard period anthony's traveling and maybe three sam doesn't know right at the moment that was well struck by dhoni oh it's gone straight there with hit him before he even reacted get a good shot of it here oh i know the helmets were brought in to protect batsman's head so i don't think they were brought in for that sort of occasion it's gone over and it stays just over long on it's a flat six for my interesting only his second six of the innings well he's been wanting to do this for a while he finally got one in the right area where he could get some elevation and if he even half middles the ball he's gonna hit sixers on most grounds around the world such as his power catches the goal and that's the end extra bit of bounce and trying to look to hit it too hard the edge flies in the air nicely taken by brad hodge that brings the end of this match it's been australia all the way actually good catch but brad hodge he didn't get a lot with the bat hasn't had the field too much and then right near the end of the day he's had to react like that and took it safely it was the wrongin from hogg dhoni gave himself room i don't think he read the wrong and brad hodge diving forward nice safe hands and for a change brad hogg's got a smile on his face and he's bowl well as well three wickets so australia win by 84 runs a terrific win for australia beating india by 84 runs india never really getting off towards the target that
