DAY 2:Paine was a pain for india as he scored 92 and helped oz to get to a good total of 428.Zaheer got 5 wickets for the tenth time.Batsmen virender sehwag and
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.
DAY 5:India were never on track.It was eight down and a stunning partnership by ishant and VVS Laxman Helped India to get victory.
