The 2nd Test Match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy-2010 is likely to bear a result,unfortunately for India,it might be another tough fight to chase the Target.
In its first Innings in this Bangalore Test,Sachin Tendulkar crafted a brilliant Innings scoring his 6th Double Century(214),with able support provided by Murali Vijay's 139 which helped India erase its deficit;however India couldn't get many quick runs since the post-lunch Sessions yesterday,though the 4th day started on a somewhat promising note,with Sachin reaching his 200,scoring a couple of boundaries and Dhoni picking a few singles,the moment Sachin was bowled;India lost its momentum.
Considering that Dhoni was the only recognised Batsman left after Sachin's dismissal,he along with along with the Tail-enders should have gone for quick runs,as there's no question of Partnership building or Consolidation then,instead both struggled due to the variable bounce and sudden reverse swing with the result being that India scored only 8 runs in its last 9 overs,losing 4 wickets and the last 6 overs produced just 1 run,damn!India scores 495,managing to get a slender lead of 17 runs.Now,these 6 overs may cost Team India,a chance of an easy win.
The Indian bowlers then did well to pick 7 wickets restricting them to 198at the end of the 4th day.
If India went for some quick runs in the last overs,India may not have the need to chase a big target,if we clean the Tail by tomorrow's first hour itself;or at-least if Dhoni took a bolder decision of declaring the innings 5 overs earlier,when he found that Batting wasn't that easy on the pitch;then India could have dismissed Australia today itself.
Now we can't say what the Tail-enders of Australia might go for tomorrow morning.I hope,we get a good result-oriented match!
