India tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 are in a better position
The Australian vice captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170, admitted on Tuesday that India had a slight edge in the ongoing Boxing Day Test; however, he was confident that his side would turn the game in their favour by putting pressure on the tourists in the opening session
on Day 3, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
At stumps on day 2, India was quite settled at 214 for 3 in reply to Australia’s first innings total of 333. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566 was yet to open his account.
The Indian team trail the hosts by 119 runs with seven wickets still remaining and it seems the tourists would quite easily knock down the remaining runs and set a big lead in their first innings on day 3. Haddin added that Australia would try their best
to unsettle the Indian line-up with the new ball in the first session on Wednesday.
"We've about 15 overs to the new ball. If we can build some pressure with some dot balls and put some good overs together, I think we can get into that middle order," said Haddin while speaking to media reporters at the post-day press conference at the MCG
on Tuesday.
"India might be a little bit in front of us in the game. But it's evenly poised tomorrow if we start this first session well," he further added..
The wicketkeeper batsman was happy that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 was dismissed in the last over of the day and was unable to reach a century.
"He (Siddle) did come through 5kms/hour quicker...His effort late in the day was good,” said Haddin. "He came back and showed a bit of character coming back after what happened to get Tendulkar late in the day. That was a big blow for us to get him," said
the Aussie wicketkeeper who had dropped http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379.
