Given the manner of their dismissals, it would be fair to say that the
Australians ‘swept’ their way to self-destruction in the face of the Indian
spinners’ guile in the second Test.
Going into the morning session of the third day, Australia had a
slight upper hand with a 62-run lead and nine wickets in hand, promising an
exciting finish in front of a 20,000 plus Test loving crowd. The visitors
were expected to continue their aggressive approach they showed on Saturday
evening but overemphasis on the sweep shot brought about their dramatic
downfall as they lost nine wickets for 52 runs in 19.1 overs on a balmy
Sunday morning.
The collapse ensured another day three finish after the series opener in
Nagpur.
