Clarke's Triple century agonizes India

3rd day of the 2nd Test and the marvelous batting from MJ Clarke continues. He is well accompanied by Hussey at the other end. The partnership continued to 3rd day as Clarke completed his triple century and Hussey also got his century. Indian bowlers hopelessly see this pair devastating their spells and also demoralize Indian batsman as the lead keeps growing. India seem to be in trouble as they prepare for their defeat . The least they can do is expect a draw but their poor batting performance and marvelous bowling form of Australian bowlers sure seem to be a great hindrance.

India:           191/10
