India in trouble , Aussies on top


The See-Saw battle between India and Australia continues again as Australia are right back in the match by taking two quick wickets and now they are in the tail of Indian batting . India are facing tough time out there and this is really getting closer as still no one is sure who will win this match . India are once again crubling under pressure while Australia are creating more and more pressure on the Indians. After the fall of Dhoni's wicket the collapse stared for India . First it was M.Kaif who was needed at the wicket till the end and gave awy his wicket trying to convert 1's in 2's . He played a nice shot on the leg side and straighaway called for two runs but Clarke was quicker than Kaif and the throw was right on top of the stumps and Gilchrist reacted quickly and 3rd umpire was called again to give a close call. In the replays it was seen that Kaif's bat was just on the line and he was rulled out by the 3rd umpire . Indian fans were totally disappointed with that decision .

Suresh Raina was the new batsman for India but he rarely has been in such pressure situations while Yuvraj was on the no strikers end. Ponting was setting his field nicely and India were certainly ob the backfoot at the crucial stage of the match . Surprisingly Ponting was in the slips and was hoping for a catch in the slips as Watson was bowling superbly today . Watson bowled outside the offstump to Raina and he went for the drive on the offside but the ball got the outside edge of the bat and Ponting took the catch . Ponting's tactics really worked as he took the gamble of placing himself in the slips and now India have lost two batsmen in quick succession.

Even after losing 2 quick wickets , Yuvraj Singh was determined not to give up . He was fighting hard in such conditions and was scoring in singles and two's as boundaries were hard to comeby as Australia were really good in the field . he was fighting hard while India were losing wickets all of a sudden from the other end. Yuvi is playing nicely and is getting the scoreboard ticking along but Australia are still the favourites to win this match .
