Uphill task as India posts 613 in Delhi; Krejza’s sensational eight-wicket haul debut
| by Veshma Bhimsingh | November 17, 2008
Wow!!!!. What a performance from the Indian batsmen. Double centuries from opener Gautam Ghambir 206 and VVS Laxman 200 helped their team reach a mammoth score of 613 for 7.
The Australian bowling has failed once again to dismiss the batting team as the Indians made a declaration of 613 for seven. Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson both got beaten all over the Feroz Shah Kotla ground for over 100 runs each, with Johnson picking up 3 wickets in the process.
The Indians are doing what they are famous for on their home turf. We are entering the 3rd day of the Third Test and the Aussies are desperate to save or if a miracle happen actually win this one.
Krejza’s sensational eight-wicket haul debut
Australia’s hope of leveling the series rose when debutant Jason Krejza hauled a record equalling eight-wickets which triggered a dramatic Indian collapse on the second afternoon of the fourth Test.
Australia held the advantage when Simon Katich followed up the sensational debut of Krejza with a brilliant unbeated knock of 92 as he along with Michael Hussy put on an unbroken 115-run third wicket stand finishing the day on 189 for two.
Krejza who had been ignored for the first three Tests, showed the mistake the Aussies had done with a dream spell in which he took five wickets for 16 runs to leave the Indians on 441 after being 404 for 5 at lunch.
Australia enter the third day still 252 runs short of India’s first innings total with 8 wickets in hand.
