Australia in India, 2008, India vs Australia,
2nd Test, Day 1 (one) Highlights video played at Punjab C.A. Stadium, Mohali, October 17-21, 2008
What an outstanding day of cricket it has been. Mohali couldn't have witnessed anything better with such major milestones being achieved. Sachin Tendulkar crossed Lara to become the highest run getter in Test cricket history and also became the first one to clock 12,000 Test runs. His good old mate Saurav Ganguly too achieved a landmark of reaching 7000 Test runs and became the 4th highest run getter in Tests for his country. Coming back to the game, this has been a superb day full of action.
The bat dominated the ball for the major part of the day today and it had to be, it was a good batting track and the Indian batsmen batted well to peg back the opponents. But then, Australia fought back hard to dismiss the set batsmen and it was game on again. That is when the legendary pair stepped into the middle and rose to the ocassion, superb hundred plus partnership brought back India into the contest again. However, the record smasher was out just at the brink of stumps but Saurav is still there in the middle. The Indians would want to bat as long as they possibly can to give themselves a big total to bowl with. Day 2 should bring a lot of intriguing cricket.
Toss India, who chose to bat first
