Day 2 of the 2nd Test in the Sydney stadium, the crowd witnessed the magnificence of Australian batting that set them apart. Truly, it was awe inspiring batting from Clarke and Ponting. They were able to create wonderful partnership and set a good lead in the match. Ponting made his century after almost two years while Clarke was unbeaten at 251. Hussey too, made a half century and is still batting .
The Australian batsman frustrated the Indian bowlers throughout the day. Today was the first day of this series when bowlers were unable to take plentiful of wicket, instead, they got a beating. The only wicket, that of Ponting, came from Sharma. But the damage was done and Australians are in a position where the possibilities of a defeat is very less. It seems as if only a miracle can save Indian team now.
