india vs australia DAY 1 4th test

india vs australia DAY 1 4th test

one word. GENIUS WAS AT WORK. the entire day belonged to the little master , as he once again proved why he is the most dreaded batsman in the world. the hero of the sydney test , accumulated an unbeaten 124 in just two sessions . Sachin waited for 19 balls before opening his account as he wacked lee for a trademark sachin straight drive. he scored his 39th ton off a boundary after springing up to 98 from 92 .
The other stars of the day included sehwag and laxman, each piling half centuries before getting out to Lee. Lee and Johnson took two wickets each and Hogg picked Ganguly for 7 given out LBW , another dubious decision. India took the first day honours as Sachin and Dhoni look to consolidate the strong platform created. an interesting day in the offing
