Aussies on the verge of a victory against the Indians

Despite battling half centuries from Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh,Aussie hopes of a victory raised Articles India chances of winning the fourth and final test of the Border/ Gavaskar series were dented, setting the Aussies a getable target of 382 on the final day.

Shane Watson and debutant off-spinner  Jason Krejza each claimed 4 wickets to raise Australia’s hopes of claiming the victory they need to draw the series. Both Watson and Krejza triggered a collapse as India crashed from 0-116 just after lunch to 6-166 at tea.

The spinner that wasn’t good enough to get into the Aussie side in the first two matches, has become a star, taking his tenth of twelve wickets in the match, getting Ganguly in his last Test innings, for a first ball duck.

The Indians seems as if they want to give the Aussies a chance of winning this game.

The Indians are still favourites to win, but they have given the Canaries a very real sniff of levelling the series.
