ind-aus 2nd test match

hurrah for india.Realy, this match was not so thrilling,but you can say that any team could have one even in the last couple of hours of the game.Sachin,what a player,what a guy and what a master.A double ton in the first innings and a well played 50 runs in the second innings realy helped india win.Vijay was at his best scoring a ton in the first innings.Some good cameos by Sehwack[sehwag],Raina and Mahi[dhoni]helped india to get to a lead.In the second innings, Pujara,the debutant played a cracker and without him,we would not have been very comfortable.

Gautam gambhir came in made a big 70+ partnership.Sehwag played a cracker scoring 59 of 54.Gambhir went early for 25.

Day 3:It was a terrific performance by Rahul Dravid,mastero Sachin Tendulkar and Suresh Raina.All getting 75+ scores but unfortuneately no one got to a hundred, Sachin tried his best to get 98 runs.India were bold out for 405.

Day 4:After big stuff from watson,Australia were bold out for 192.India lost 4 wickets in no time which gave australia a chance.
