AUSTRALIA - INDIA DAY 2
The day belonged to India as the visitors manged to pile up a mammoth total of 526. thanks to the spin twins . the duo added 107 runs for the 8th wicket. earlier , the maestro continued his flawless show ,piling another 39 runs to his overnight score. he ended his innings on 153, after a knee breaking bouncer from lethal lee. the bouncer slid to his inner left knee which required medical attention. Relentless sachin went after another bouncer , the very next ball, only to find the ball in Hogg's hands. The little master bid adieu to the Bradman land, his penultimate innings down under.
The departure of sachin , meant the tail was exposed to the destructive Australian pace. The turbanator has different ideas though. Harbhajan came out with all guns blazing and plundered the Australian attack. He scored a scintillating half century and was finally out for 63. the tail continued to wag and the Indians finished at 526. The final 21 overs belonged to the home side as they ended the day without any casualties. they were 62 for no loss , as the day came to a close. day 3 has a lot in store for both nations ,as the Australians look to close in on the Indian total and India look to equal the series with some quality bowling.
