Well there you go. That is all over for India. Right from the word go, they were up against a stiff Australian side but when they took the field, they had other opponents to face as well. On Day 1, Australia were 50 odd for 2 when Ponting was given not out by umpire Mark Benson. The Indians overcame that and had the Australians reeling at 134 for 6. Some time later, Symonds was adjudged not out by umpire Steve Bucknor, again a clear edge which only Bucknor was unaware of. Some more time later, the third umpire joined the party, a stumping appeal was turned down against Symonds with his foot on the line. He went onto score his career best score and with another decision going in favour of him, a stumping appeal not even referred to the third umpire by Bucknor. Then comes the Indian innings, Jaffer was bowled off a no ball but it went unnoticed. Then came the Aussie second innings, Hussey was caught behind but given not out. He was out lbw some time later but given not out. Then came the final innings. Rahul Dravid was given out caught behind when the ball was nowhere close to the bat, Ganguly was given out despite Clarke having grassed the catch twice and Dhoni and RP Singh were at the wrong end of marginal decisions. It might seem like a case of sour grapes but had so many decisons not gone against them then perhaps India would have ended up with a 200 run first innings lead. Decisions go wrong as to err is human but the consistency, obviousness and timing of the decisions was so much against India, that they cannot stop themselves from feeling unlucky. Australia retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as they cannot lose this series anymore and they had won the last edition. All India can do is take this match as an inspiration for them to come back hard at Australia in the forthcoming games. Before the third test begins, we have another tour match lined up starting on the 10th. Till then it is good bye and good night from all of us. Adios...

Anil Kumble in a post match chat with Harsha Bhogle, Sunil Gavaskar and Michael Slater was very humble not to go too much in detail about the terrible decision making. He just said that whatever happened was for everybody to see and that is some statement and great spirit by the Indian skipper.

Andrew Symonds is the Man of the Match for the 223 runs he scored(1 sensational ton and a handy 50 in the second innings) and 3 vital wickets he picked up.

Ricky Ponting''s team now equals the record held by Steve Waugh''s team. They have now won 16 games in a row and don''t forget, it was India which stood as a hurdle and broke the dream run back in 2001 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Aussies are over the moon, Ricky Ponting is jumping around in joy. Look at the celebrations, the crowd has erupted, huge round of applause buzzing around the SCG now. This would go down into the books as one of the most extraordinary wins ever in the history of Test cricket.

Clarke to Ishant, out Caught by Hussey!! Clarke tosses it up outside the off stump, Ishant comes on the frontfoot and looks to defend, the ball turns away, takes the edge and goes straight to Hussey, it is all over, what a turn around this has been Ishant c Hussey b Clarke 0(3)

70.5 Clarke to Ishant, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

70.4 Clarke to Ishant, no run, Clarke gives it a bit of air outside the off stump, Ishant comes on the frontfoot, shows the full face of the bat and defends it solidly

70.3 Clarke to Ishant, HAT TRICK BALL!!, no run, flighted delivery on the middle and leg, Ishant comes on the frontfoot and looks to defend, rapped on the pads but he was too far forward
Ishant Sharma is asking for a pair of gloves. He is carrying two right handed gloves by mistake. This seems like a ploy of wasting time. Irfan Pathan comes out with a pair of gloves, the Aussie fans are not loving this. The Indians are loving every bit of this.
Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties and this is certainly one of the examples.
Ishant Sharma, right handed bat, comes to the crease
Clarke to RP Singh, out Lbw!! Clarke bowls the arm ball this time, flattish delivery angling into the right hander, RP Singh comes on the frontfoot a long way and looks to defend, rapped on the pads, huge appeal and the finger goes up, that is a marginal call, height might be an issue there, this is absolutely dramatic RP Singh lbw b Clarke 0(1)

70.2 Clarke to RP Singh, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!
Rudra Pratap Singh, right handed bat, comes to the crease
Clarke to Harbhajan, out Caught by Hussey at 1st slip!! Clarke tosses it up on the stumps, the ball turns and bounces like a cobra, Harbhajan comes on the frontfoot and looks to defend, the ball takes the edge and it goes straight to Mr. Cricket in the slip cordon, is this a twist in the tale??? Harbhajan c Hussey b Clarke 7(14) [4s-1]

70.1 Clarke to Harbhajan, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
12 balls to go. In fact 16 minutes is what we are playing for. So may be 4 overs.
