Australia Triumphs, India bumped yet again - Cricket News Update
Sachin Tendulkar’s apocalyptic dismissal by Michael Clarke, Australian skipper, proved a landmark for the Aussies who won the second Test on the 4th by one innings and 68 runs. The Aussies are now leading the 4-match Test series by 2-0.
Tendulkar’s dismissal was not only seen as an omen for the team but also for himself, since he was just 20 runs away to complete his century of centuries in International cricket. Sachin was dismissed on Clarke’s virulent spin through an outside edge caught
by the slip, Hussey.
India once again fell prey to Australia’s acute bowling attack that was able to take 5 wickets in the second half of the game on day 4. Tendulkar got out on 80 marking http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s fall on 400.
To the media, after the match, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 remarked, "Getting Tendulkar out was a fluke I'd say. Nice to make some runs and most importantly, what a great victory on a really flat wicket. India played really well so a lot of credit has to go to our bowlers out
there today."
In reply, the foiled Indian captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 side.”
Star of the bowling side was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197 also sported brilliant bowling action by taking 2 wickets for 81.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 stood tall among his boys and the Indians as man-of-the-match for his triple century as well as taking out Tendulkar to churn his team’s way out to success. In the first half of the 4th day, Tendulkar appeared to be a threat to
the Aussies as he smashed his half century off 89 balls. However, in the second half, the Master Blaster failed to maintain his momentum, falling for what Clarke merely calls a ‘fluke’. After http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607, 3 more Indian wickets fell for just 15 runs, sweetly handing
over the victory to Australia.
Hilfenhaus’ two major wickets included Laxman at 66 and Dhoni at 2.
