Swamy army on day 2 completely took control over the Aussies with both batting and bowling at the MCG.
Zaheer continued his best form that he gained on 2nd session of day 1. He completely outplayed the Australian lower order batsmen by getting out of Haddin and Siddle.
But Pattinson showed some resistance for about fifty balls but Ashwin took the responsibility to clean up the Australian tail with a score of 333 on first innings.
Indian openers came to bat. Sehwag started off in his own typical style but Gambhir walked to pavilion by nipping one back to Haddin of Hilfenhaus bowling after scoring only three runs.
Few words were exchanged in the middle between Pattinson and Sehwag just after Pattinson tried to hit Sehwag with his elbow while going for a run.
Dravid and Sehwag batted brilliantly but Sehwag got bowled of an inside edge of Pattinson's delivery after scoring a good fifty. Sehwag crossed 8000 runs in tests during his en route to sixty five.
Then the little master came to bat with huge roaring and expectation. Sachin and Dravid both scored fifties. Sachin scored more quickly than Dravid.
Siddle bowled Sachin at last over of the day for seventy three. Yet again Sachin failed to score his hundredth ton. Ishant walked into middle as the night watchman.
On day 3, India must take a lead of at least 200. but Aussies should toiled hard to bowled out India soon.
