That is a fine comeback by Australia. They really pulled things back after Sachin Tendulkar got out. The Indians were looking set to get close to 300 when he was batting but after he got out, the Indians lost their way completely and fell a good 20 runs short of the total that they should have actually achieved. All credit to the Australians. They bowled and fielded extremely well towards the end of the innings. However, with the pitch slowing down, a score of 258 is not going to be a cakewalk. We have an exciting run chase in store. Do join us in 30 minutes to catch all the action...

Adam Gilchrist is next, he also played his last international match today. "Thank You very much for this acknowledgement. Its probably going on too long(the farewell). Well done india..they outplayed us. Thanks to my family, and friends, and fans all over the world. And finally, to Ricky and the team and the support staff, it''s been a magic ride, its not been a fairytale ending but it''s been a fairytale career. Thank you so much."

Brad Hogg says that it was always a great feeling to play for Australia. He had spent a few matches warming the benches in this series but donning the baggy green in itself is a great feeling. He treasures all the moments he has spent with the team both on and off the field.

Here''s Ponting:" All credit to the Indians. Our level of cricket over the last week has dropped off. Thats disappointing. We''ve stumbled at the last turn again, can''t take anything from India again. We''ve probably played our worst cricket over the last week. There are no excuses for that."

On Praveen Kumar: He looks quite deceptive, he''s a bit skiddy, he moves the ball both ways, he''s one of the bowlers to look out for in the coming seasons.

And now the winning captain, Dhoni: "It was the building stage of my team. There were a few doubts if this team can do well in Austalia. The bowlers did well but the way we improved our batting.was great. The way sachin gave us a start was great. It can''t get better than this, beating them(Australia) in two finals. With their batting line there were a few concerns with all of them not scoring."
