2nd Test Australia vs India

West Indies 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
CH Gayle*	c †Haddin b Bollinger	26	43	23	4	1	113.04
	8.4 sharp catch from Haddin! Bollinger slips in a bouncer just outside off stump and Gayle goes after it, trying to uppercut it over the slips, but its too close to his body and he snicks it off the shoulder of the bat and Haddin leaps up to his right and plucks it from out of nowhere, it was travelling high and fast but he snapped it 39/2
AB Barath	c Hussey b Bollinger	3	20	14	0	0	21.42
	4.3 oh well held Hussey! Superb athletic catch at gully by Hussey, who throws himself horizontally to his left and intercepts a loose flash from Barath outside off stump, forced into that shot by the fuller and wide length but failed to keep it down 26/1
RR Sarwan	c Clarke b Johnson	28	72	46	4	0	60.86
	18.1 caught! full outside off, draws Sarwan into a drive who splices it in the air only as far as Clarke at point who takes a regulation catch 84/3
S Chanderpaul	c †Haddin b Watson	62	239	151	5	0	41.05
	62.3 another loose forward prod from Chanders to one pitching closer to off stump, there's a noise before Haddin collects, no reaction from the umpire and we have a review. For the second time involving Chanderpaul, several replays are reviewed and again Hotspot is inconclusive. Is it bat flipping pad? Australia don't look pleased. Second time Chanders has been involved in a caught-behind review. Ponting, who asked for the review, leads the celebrations when the outcome is OUT. Hotspot didn't show anything but the review works for the Australians this time. Chanders is gone for a fighting 62. The bowling change works and a dangerous stand is snapped. This one was far less convincing that the first appeal last session. Chanders shakes his head and walks off. Crucial breakthrough from Watson. 235/4
BP Nash	b Johnson	92	248	178	12	0	51.68
	124.1 bowled! good length delivery that sears into the wickets. Nash tries to cut a ball much too close to be cutable, the ball slips into the gap between bat and body and routs the batsman's stumps 451/10
DJ Bravo	b Hauritz	104	210	156	12	1	66.66
	73.2 clean bowled! A corker delivery from Hauritz. The ball pitches outside off and turns spectacularly into off stump, beating the bat on the way. 273/6
D Ramdin†	b Watson	4	3	3	1	0	133.33
	62.6 two in the over! Watson gets Ramdin with a loose shot to one outside off stump, he tries to push it from the crease off the back foot but gets an inner edge onto the stumps 239/5
DJG Sammy	lbw b Siddle	44	100	57	5	2	77.19
	85.1 full length ball, strikes Sammy directly in front of the stumps, hitting middle and leg. Looked absolutely plumb. An appeal from the Australians draws the umpire's finger. After discussing it with his partner, Sammy refers the decision. But it goes against him and Sammy is forced to trudge off the field. 336/7
SJ Benn	lbw b Hauritz	17	80	50	1	0	34.00
	103.1 tossed up and Benn comes forward and looks to defend, misses the bat and strikes the pad, a loud appeal and umpire Gould lifts his finger, a referral by Benn, given out, there was no inside edge and that was plumb. 380/8
KAJ Roach	c †Haddin b Johnson	2	6	6	0	0	33.33
	104.3 fuller delivery outside the off stump and Roach fends at the delivery from the crease, a loud appeal for a catch and given by umpire Rauf. Roach is not happy with the decision and they have no more referrals. Difficult to tell if there was an edge. 383/9
R Rampaul	not out	40	76	66	6	2	60.60

SR Watson	b Benn	96	191	148	16	0	64.86
	48.2 bowled! Watson rocks back to a quicker straight delivery, trying to pull it through the on side. Had he connected he probably would have brough up his century. Alas for the batsman he missed, playing over the top of it whilst the ball cannoned into the top of middle stump. 174/1
SM Katich	c Barath b Benn	80	219	171	4	1	46.78

	71.6 a mistimed pull shot, short ball and Ponting on the back foot pulls in the air, a miscued shot straight into the hands of Bravo at midwicket. A big wicket for West Indies. 233/3
MEK Hussey	c †Ramdin b Roach	41	168	126	2	0	32.53
	97.5 lovely delivery from Roach, back of a length and angled across, Hussey cuts and gets the edge to Ramdin, who takes the catch at comfortable height. It was a quick delivery and a good wicket for the hard working Roach. 312/4
MJ Clarke	c Sarwan b Benn	71	179	130	5	0	54.61
	114.4 caught! tossed full outside off, Clarke chases it, looking to drive it through the off side but he's much too late on it, he gets a thick top edge that provides a simple catch for the fielder at slip 370/6
MJ North	c Bravo b Benn	16	49	33	2	0	48.48

	125.6 this time Roach gets his short delivery right, a bouncer down the leg side and Hauritz goes for the hook and gets the edge to Ramdin behind the wicket. Roach picks up his third wicket. 418/8

DE Bollinger	run out (Benn/Roach)	0	19	4	0	0	0.00
	131.1 Roach to Haddin, back of a length delivery and Haddin pushes to mid-on, he calls Bollinger for the run and they are going back for the second run, the throw comes in from Benn to Roach, who collects the ball and gets rid of the stumps and Bollinger has a dive into crease but it is a bit too late. 439/10

	11.5 Hauritz to Gayle, run out! low full toss, driven back down the track into the stumps at the other end with Barath out of his ground, in between had Hauritz reached down and got his fingertips on the rolling ball, prompting an appeal which is referred to the third umpire who delivers the verdict 45/1

	45.5 lbw! caught on the crease and struck on the pad by a good length delivery that nips back in, a big shout from the Australians draws the finger from the umpire, the ball struck the batsman in the knee-roll and was probably going on to hit the top of middle or leg 133/3
BP Nash	b Watson	24	100	70	1	0	34.28
	67.4 bowled by a jaffer! beaten by a superb yorker that the batsman can't get down to in time, beating him into leg stump. Watson turned around to the umpire and it looked as if he was appealing for lbw, but that was unnecessary with the leg bail lying on the ground. 194/4
