2nd Test, Day 5(five) Highlights video played at Punjab C.A. Stadium, Mohali, October 17-21, 2008
Talk about anything, be it the batting, the bowling or fielding. Nothing was less than top class, ofcourse it always requires such a top class effort to beat a World Class team. There were contributions from everyone. Starts from the top of the order - Sehwag and Gambhir, solid batting from the middle order - Ganguly, Tendulkar and Dhoni and then a superb all round bowling and fielding effort with contributions from one and all.

India win by 320 runs to go one up in this 4 match Test series.
Scorecard

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the Man of the Match for his stupendous leadership on the field and not to forget, his wonderful knocks in both the innings of this Test. Now this is what you call, leading from the front and setting an example for one and all in the team.

Saurav Ganguly receives a special award as well. PCA greets him with a memento for this being his last test here. Ofcourse, we will see more of this elegant southpaw in the next two tests as the same squad has been retained.

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly are felicitated by the Punjab Cricket Association, India v Australia, 2nd Test, Mohali, 5th day, October 21, 2008

Sachin Tendulkar gets a special award for becoming the first person to accumulate 12,000 runs in Test cricket, in a process, he crossed Brian Lara's record of being the highest run getter in Tests. That record lasted for 2 years before it was broken by none other than the Master Blaster himself.

This is the biggest ever win in terms of runs for India. They beat their previous best which they sealed against South Africa in Kanpur back in 1996. They had mauled South Africa by 280 runs on that occasion.

The UEFA Champions League, which evolved from the European Champion Clubs' Cup, is a seasonal club football competition organized by UEFA since 1992 (or overall in its older format since 1955) for the most successful football clubs in Europe. The prize, the European Champion Clubs' Cup (more commonly known as the European Cup), is the most prestigious club trophy in the sport. The UEFA Champions League is separate from the UEFA Cup.

The tournament consists of several stages. In the present format it begins in mid-July with three preliminary knockout qualifying rounds. The 16 surviving teams join 16 seeded teams in a group stage. Eight group winners and eight runners-up enter the final knockout rounds, which end with the final match in May. Previously only the champions of their respective national league could participate in the competition; however, this was changed in 1997 to allow the runners-up of the stronger leagues to compete as well.

The title has been held by 21 different clubs, 12 of which have won the title more than once. The all-time record-holder is Real Madrid with their nine wins.

The current holders are Manchester United who beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties, 1-1 after extra time, in Moscow on 21 May 2008.

India vs Australia, 2nd Test, Day 4 Highlights video

Australia in India, 2008, India vs Australia,
2nd Test, Day 4(four) Highlights video played at Punjab C.A. Stadium, Mohali, October 17-21, 2008
Another day dominated by the Indians. First it was the batsmen who mauled the meek bowling of the Australians and just when the declaration was made, the bowlers then decided to jump into action. Harbhajan Singh and Ishant Sharma bowled inspiring spells to dent the Australians right from the beginning. Mishra bowled with a lot of heart and gave some anxious moments too where he missed the stumps by only a whisker. But just spare a thought for the duo of Clarke and Haddin who batted bravely and weathered the storm with a lot of courage. This is a well scripted partnership and the Australians would want them to continue in the same fashion for the bulk of the day tomorrow. It'll be a demanding job and the Indians will still be seated at the top.

2nd Test, Day 3(three) Highlights video played at Punjab C.A. Stadium, Mohali, October 17-21, 2008
Fantastic Day for India, barring the second session of course. They started the day by picking up three wickets in the first session. Then Australia came back well in the afternoon but could not stop India from bowling them out with the lead still over 200. They then decided to bat on and why not. Gambhir and Sehwag have just batted beautifully to ensure that the Indians not only score runs but score them quickly. They will look to continue in the same fashion tomorrow and the declaration will be the biggest question on everybody’s mind.
