India Australia 2nd Test , Mohali, Australia staring @ defeat

Posted: 01 Oct 2010 11:57 AM PDT


In Mohali Australia were staring at defeat after losing their top five batsmen for just 10 runs on the fourth day of the second Test against India here on Monday.

Chasing a huge victory CPS.NYL29.201008151917.photo00.quicklook.default-245x162 target of 516 after the Indians declared their second innings at 314-3, Australia were struggling at 141-5 at stumps at the Punjab Cricket Association.

Michael Clarke however defied the Indian attack and was on 42 with six fours at close along with Brad Haddin (37), both having put on 83 runs for the sixth-wicket stand. Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, 28, started the Australian rot, sending back openers Matthew Hayden (29) and Simon Katich (20) in his sensational opening over before removing Michael Hussey (one) for his 299th Test scalp.

_45120804_sharma282b Hayden, who hit Zaheer Khan for two fours in an over, was trapped leg before while Katich lobbed one for Sachin Tendulkar to take a fine tumbling catch at short point.

Ricky Ponting (two) saw his off-stump uprooted by lanky paceman Ishant Sharma who claimed the Australian skipper for the fifth time in as many matches.

Sharma then returned to dismiss Shane Watson (two), who top-scored with 78 in Australia’s first innings total of 268, to reduce Australia to 58-5.

Needing 375 more runs with five wickets in hand, the number one side in the world will have to pray for a miracle if they are to stop India from going 1-0 up in the series for the Border-Gavaskar trophy.History is also against the visitors as the highest successful fourth innings chase is 418 achieved by the West Indies against Australia at St. John’s in the 2002-03 series.

Australian coach Tim Nielsen though believed his team could still pull off a win, declaring “the game is not lost yet.”  

“The whole day is left tomorrow and it’s a nice batting wicket. We just need to make sure we execute our skills better.

Pitch report: Ravi Shastri reckons the pitch will get lower and slower as the game progresses. There has been a lot of rain in the lead-up to the game – no clouds in sight now, mind you – and the pitch has slowed up a bit as a result. Daljit Singh, the curator, says it will not have the “usual Mohali pace and bounce, but it will improve as the game progresses”.

“Preparation has been great, guys are in great physical shape, and we had a good practice time. India v Aus is one of the great series of our times, hopefully this one is no different. Three quicks and Hauritz – Bollinger comes back straight from the Champs League.” Ponting

Dhoni admits he would have liked to bat too. “Players have done this (switching from T20 to ODIs to Tests) often recently.. We have had a couple of days of practice, we have made the best of it. Hope to keep the controversies away and play some good, hard cricket. Harbhajan is playing.”

Review

This out of the box comedy breaks the rules in Bollywood. A digital film, this one directed by Kunal Roy Kapoor and produced by Ramesh Sippy Entertainment, has no big stars and retains the cast of the play on which it is based.

"It gives young writers a hope that when they think of different ideas, they can actually make it into a film," says producer Ramesh Sippy.

"I am actually happy that sippy films is doing commercial films and small budeget documentaries also," says Konkona Sen Sharma.

The film deals with 10 contestants who line up for a chance to shake hands with President George W Bush with its comic take on India Shining, and many other sacred cows (shot of a buffalo), shot in mock documentary style, it’s a worthy send off to the outgoing President known for his unique contribution to the English language.

So here’s the last chance to hear those classic lines as The President is Coming releases in theatres on 28 November.

'Nirmohi Akhara' is a Hindu discipline. The Allahabad High court finally announced the mostly awaited Ayodhya Verdict yesterday, September 30, 2010. The verdict was quite unusual where one third of the land belongs to 'Nirmohi Akhara'.

People belonging to 'Nirmohi Akhara' are the devotees of God Ram and the name actually means 'Group Without Attachment'. They have denounced the worldly things are now completely into God worship.

Nirmohi Akhara said that the Ayodhya Ram temple land exists since ancient times even before the existence of the humans. The Ayodhya land is divided into three parts, one part is given to the Muslims and the other two portions are for the Hindus.

The Hindus had demolished the Babri Masjid in the year 1992 claiming that the place on which the Mosque stood belonged to the Hindus, as God Ram was born there. The riots had claimed lives of more than 2000 people there.
