India vs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 – 2nd Test – Live Cricket Score and Match Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792, March 2, 2013. From being 63 for 4, the
tourists recovered to post 187 at tea, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933 reaching respective half-centuries.
The proceedings hardly began to plan after Clarke had opted to bat first on another turning Indian track. Speculation regarding the composition of their attack was finally put to rest after the Aussies handed debut to all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189, who replaced
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/XJ-Doherty-c2804.
With the track again being on the drier side, it was felt that the spinners will do the bulk of the damage. However, it was Kumar, who run through the top-order to give his side a perfect start in the game. The medium pacer, who went wicketless in his debut
Test last week, found the right sort of movement and accounted for the two openers, along with danger man http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558.
Warner was bowled by an inswinger, while his opening partner was caught in front of the stumps. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Phillip-Hughes-c2185 tried to counter the threat and they did that for about an hour before the former attempted a suicidal pull shot and was adjudged lbw.
With the ball now losing its shine, it was time for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 to assert his presence on the game. The off-spinner looked lively throughout his opening spell and was finally rewarded after Hughes was caught behind.
With the Aussie innings in disarray, it was again up to Clarke to steady the ship and the skipper did not disappoint. He got appreciable company from Wade, who was passed fit for the encounter despite suffering a minor cheek fracture. The two added an unbeaten
stand of over hundred which ensured that the team did not lose any more wickets in the second session. However, there is still plenty of work to be done as the tourists aim to level the series.
