USUAL COLLAPSE MADE IT EASY FOR AUSTRALIA
Indian pair Gambhir and Sachin walked to the crease with lots of hope on them. They batted really well this morning, Gambhir added another fifteen runs under his name and got out off a leading edge from Siddle's bowling. Then Laxman joined with Sachin in the middle. This pair looked solid in defense and scoring in right deliveries. Both of them scored a fifty.
Sachin was in great touch, every one thought that this is the historical moment of 100th ton but Sachin missed again by edging a sharp turned one from Clarke's bowling to Hussey at first slip. He was got out just two overs before the new ball due. He got out at when he was at 80. Kohli walked to the middle to join Laxman but well settled Laxman got bowled by an unplayable little away swinger from Hilfenhaus of a new ball for 66. These two wickets paved the way for another Aussie victory.
Dhoni failed to carry on his good run from first innings, he got out by a caught and bowl by Hilfenhaus for 2. Kohli followed his captain to walk back to pavilion by suffering a lbw from Pattinson for 9. Then Zak and Ashwin joined to strike the Aussie bowling to all over the ground. They both scored 56 runs in partnership. Zak got out by giving a catch to marsh on a short ball from Siddle. He scored 35 from 36 balls.
Ashwin batted really well with accompany from Ishant. But Ishant also got out to a leg before wicket from lyon's delivery which spun back to him. Ashwin scored a fifty before getting out of a short ball Hilfenhaus who grabbed a another 5-wicket haul. Ashwin scored 62 which made India to get a total of 400. Ashwin is the second leading run scorer for India just behind Sachin.
India suffered a successive 6th overseas loss after losing to England 4-0 last year. India have lost to Australia successively for the second time at SCG.
