Don't think you can drop Siddle, Hilfy or Pattinson on form.

Woah, just saw the wickets of Tendulkar and Dravid. 2 brilliant balls that have now changed the game for the Aussies.

Up to the DRS we go!


...Oh wait

Pattinson robbed of a pretty plum lbw. On first glance I thought it was going down leg, however the replay shows it was pretty plum.

Hilfenhaus 5 fa! Removes Sharma who was fishing at a full* one outside off stump, comfortably taken by Haddin.

Pattinson! Robbed of an LBW, thought he had Kahn caught off the thigh pad, but finally takes a deserved wicket. Top of off, India now 9 down.

If the Aussies aren't careful here, they might gift Ashwin a 50.

And that's Lunch, Siddle removes Ashwin.

What a brilliant morning session for the aussies.

Great effort by the bowlers.

Yadav doing the damage in the top order, both Warner and Cowan gone cheaply. India starting to break back into this test.

Why shoulder arms to a ball? perplexing

2nd Innings collapse..seems to be becoming a trend.

Hussey for another duck tbh.

Nah, these are the conditions that bring the best out of Hussey.

Hussey smashes a boundary off the edge through the slips legs.

Hussey and Ponting, the 'old guard' so to speak.

I think we are set for a batting masterclass from this partnership.

Great fightback from Huss and Punter here.

Two guys under pressure to deliver and they're rescuing the innings...for now.

Ponting brings up his 50

As does Hussey.

Looks good atm but a few quick wickets and it all changes around.

100 partnership from Hussey and Ponting. Absolutely brilliant innings so far, they have swung the momentum of this test match.

If this turns into a match winning partnership, everyone in world cricket should have a good lol at India considering that with the DRS Punter would've been out for 15 :lol:

dn't worry, somehow I don't think that will happen.

Two batters out of double figures. Way to go, Australia. Haddin needs to go.

Hussey out for 89, Australia 197/9, lead by 248

Lead over 250. At least something to bowl at. Brilliant to even get to this stage considering the position we were in yesterday.

Australia all out for 240. Lead of 291.

A total of 290 has only been chased down successfully 3 times at the MCG. And hasn't been done since South Africa got 297 in 1953.

Should be able to get Gambhir early. Does not look at all comfortable

This is probably the worst Australian team since 1953 though...

Dravid now gone. 3/58. No team has chased 200 successfully at the MCG in the last 49 years.

BOWLED HIM. Middle peg. Kudos to the 3 pacemen with a wicket each. Once we get one of Laxman/Tendulkar we are sweet

Thats what we needed!! VVS Laxman gooone for 1
