Peter Siddle with a well earned carrierbest54 in the company of Pattinson extended the overnight score of Australia to a most deserving 262 on the unpredictable Kotla Pitch
on the second day morning.R.Aswin once again starred as a successful bowler with a 5 wicket haul once again in this series.
India in reply started on an encouraging note,with a century partnership between the openersVijay&Pujara both posting 50+ in the process until when Pujara became the first victim of Nathan Lyon for an individual score of 54,An unplayable turner from JLyon did the trick to the relief of the Australians.Pujara,usually a very good batsman who knows how to choose nalls like veteran Tendulkarwas decieved by Lyon on time.
Shortly afterwards,the disaster continued for India in the form of most unexpected Virat Kohli who became the successful victim of Lyon once again an unpredictable beautiful turner,Australians had a sigh of relief with the paltry score of 262 threatening them with a hard look.
Thereafter the falling of wickets continued like a procession ,this time a celebrating one or rather like a Tit for Tat to Aswin by Lyon.None of the leading batsmen of India found yet another 50 crumbling like cookies.
Sachin Tendulkar&RAJadeja for a while tried to keep the rhythm going on &on but the inevitable followed when the former was claimed by Lyon&the latter by Maxwell.Tendulkar was yet another LBW victim of Nathan Lyon the hero of the Day.
Thus the second day of the Final test ended on a none the too bad score of 266 for 8 just a lead of 4 runs over the Australian.
But a lead is always a lead& with B.Kumar,the most successful all rounder the wall Rahul Dravid ,in the so called Tail enders &unpredictable Sharma&Ojha yet to follow ,a reasonab;e extending on the 3rd Day can not be totally ruled out unless the famous morning dews play the trick for the Australians!
Any How three full days left anything is possible in this Test match.
After all,Cricket is a Glorious Game of Uncertainty!!
