00:50With all the latest tech, make bigger things happen.
00:52The Australian Government's Future Made in Australia plan will create well-paid jobs
01:00and a stronger economy by making more things right across our country.
01:04That's a future made in Australia.
01:07Authorised by the Australian Government, Canberra.
01:20What a catch! Unbelievable!
01:26Hello Australia, welcome to the Sydney Cricket Ground.
01:29VB Series second final, Australia 1-0 up in this three-match series.
01:34It's a sellout here at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
01:37Australia taking on India, it's been popular right throughout the summer.
01:41Games between these two countries and today is no exception.
01:47There you go Clive, you all happy?
01:48Yeah, I'm ready.
01:49Good luck mate.
01:50Heads.
01:53Heels.
01:54We'll have a bat mate, thanks.
01:56Ricky, looks a very good pitch here.
01:58It does, looks very, very good.
02:00Yeah, it looks nice and hard on top and very flat so it should play pretty well early.
02:04Good pitch, the outfield will be lightening fast, a bit of cloud cover
02:08so we should see some swing from the Indian new ball bowlers.
02:11There's Gilchrist on strike, a wonderful record, a strike rate of 94.12.
02:16Highest score this year of 172.
02:22His partner, Matthew Hayden, I thought struggled a little bit in Melbourne for his 50, but did the job.
02:28Strike rate of 77, an average of 41.
02:35Too straight and put away, the outfield's fast, it could almost go for four,
02:38it's just a push, it's racing away, Gilchrist away with another boundary,
02:42just a gentle push off leg stump.
02:45Here's a no swing on that occasion from Petani,
02:48starting the ball around about leg stump to Gilchrist, hoping it'll swing away.
02:53Just angled down the leg side, that's exactly where you want them.
02:57Early on, there's a left hand, that's just something on about leg stump,
03:00working away through the onside.
03:03Seam was nice, but there was no swing.
03:13Gone for it, and it's four.
03:15It was in the air, the man at mid-wicket was fraction square,
03:20the bowler shouldn't be too troubled by that.
03:23That's Matthew Hayden.
03:25I don't think the bowler was too worried either, Bill,
03:27he gave him the glare like you wouldn't believe after this shot.
03:32It wasn't a bad delivery, saw him coming, banged it in short, wide of outside of stump.
03:37Hayden was good enough to smash it away, but look at that.
03:40You think you're going to do that to me too often, look out.
03:46Bad ball, four leg bys.
03:50Oh, just wide, he's gone there twice.
04:00The man stayed at square leg, another five or six metres to his right,
04:04it's catchable.
04:06First the pull shot, that one was just mistimed.
04:10This one certainly wasn't out of the middle.
04:12Matthew Hayden was trying to hit that more wide mid-on,
04:16just forward of square leg.
04:18Once again, it's the sort of shot you can play when you've got the first final in the bag.
04:32It's controlled, it's four, waited for it, hit it straight to the carpet, beautifully played.
04:40It seems to be the line that the Indians want to bowl to these two,
04:44out about leg stump.
04:47I don't think it's a bad line for Gilchrist, I'm not so sure for Matthew Hayden.
04:50Balazs is certainly pitching the ball around about leg stump.
04:58Safe.
05:01It's very, very fast, it's four more.
05:04Six overs gone, nine off the over, none for 42.
05:17That's three, that's four.
05:19Warriors off drive.
05:22Adam Gilchrist, one of the best timers of the ball in world cricket.
05:26You give him a half-volley, he'll put you away.
05:29That's not a bad delivery from Irfan Pathan, that is just an excellent cricket shot.
05:34It's not a genuine half-volley, it's probably three or four centimetres wide of off stump.
05:40That's the margin for error when you're bowling to Gilchrist.
05:44Well, it's over the top.
05:47You can put him anywhere and those go for four.
05:50Straight down the ground, straight over the top of Middolf's head.
05:54And so another boundary to Adam Gilchrist.
05:57He's second now, is it?
05:59Two to Gilchrist and four to Hayden.
06:06Oh, and that one lobs into the gap.
06:10It'll go all the way to, this is a lightning-fast outfield.
06:14So frustrating for the bowlers.
06:18Murali Karthik at mid-wicket.
06:19A little too square, a little bit too left of screen for mine
06:22because Gilchrist loves to prey on that gap at mid-wicket rather than square leg.
06:27So he can move that man a little further forward and you might get that miss hit.
06:30He's pulling that from outside off stump.
06:32It's a cramped pull shot.
06:35Still gets it through the gap and over the ropes.
06:39Remarkable bat speed.
06:41Naira is now aware of it, as if he wasn't before.
06:50That's in the air. This has got to be out.
06:52He couldn't drop it, could he? No, it catches it.
06:54They needed that absolutely desperately.
06:57And I don't think Gilchrist's going to be very happy with that,
07:00the way he played that over.
07:02He's hit two or three in the air into areas very close to Fieldsman
07:07and that there was a miss hit pull shot.
07:09And the Indians have broken through, much to the delight of all the Indians here.
07:15Good bowling, Ashish Naira.
07:17Good length, the pull shot wasn't really on.
07:20Gilchrist will still go for it, we know that, but he's forced the issue
07:23and they've got the catch.
07:25Gilchrist chastised himself earlier in the over for the miss hitting nearly produced.
07:31One for 62.
07:34That one just short outside off stump and didn't quite bounce as much.
07:38He was trying to really get underneath it and heave it away, wasn't he?
07:42Just seemed to hit the bat just a little bit before he was ready for it,
07:46so that's going to be taking the catch.
07:49Oh, what a shot. He's hit that one over the top, way down the ground for six.
07:55You just can't stop this bloke.
07:59Hayden has just lost Gilchrist.
08:01You'd have thought he'd go into his shell just for a little while
08:04and what does he do? He smashes a straight six.
08:08He said plenty this week in the press.
08:11He thinks the Indians are intimidated by the fast bowlers now.
08:15He's keen to dominate today, he said it, he quoted it
08:19and he's following it up here at the SCG.
08:22How massive is that?
08:25Anguli in the foreground. Foreground, no answers.
08:30The Australians have been right on to him.
08:33That's out, caught behind. Yes, he's got him.
08:36That was a huge nick. That's not a great shot from Ponting.
08:39He was trying to hit that up onto the Doug Walters stand.
08:43Right across the line, it was a very big deflection.
08:46It was nicely taken as well, so that's a big wicket.
08:50Ricky Ponting was very obvious in what he was trying to do.
08:54It's just nine balls long, but his defence was very aggressive.
08:57His running was fantastic and now he was looking for a boundary.
09:00Tatan produced the perfect delivery, a slider outside off.
09:04Ponting looking to go down the ground or even to mid-on.
09:07The Indians fancy themselves.
09:0911.2 overs, 2 for 73 now, but the Aussies not looking to pull back at all.
09:18Damien Martin under a bit of pressure here to face the music now.
09:23He won't have anything to do with that wide delivery.
09:26Here's some signal wide.
09:34Winning this battle, he goes down again.
09:36Wanders down the pitch towards him.
09:422 for 83.
09:492 for 84, 13 overs bowled.
09:51Run rate 6.46, but Tatan is going to continue.
09:58Oh, that's a lovely shot.
10:00Onto the back foot and he's caressed that one through the offside field for 4.
10:05I'll tell you more about it now. Ian Chappell and Richie Beck.
10:10Thanks, Tony.
10:12Well, the bowlers are going to feel a little aggrieved on this ground
10:16because virtually anything that's hit into the gap is going to go for 4.
10:20He's unbelievably quick.
10:30The trouble is if he just misses the length by, well, not very much,
10:34that's what happens.
10:37Well, if you've been watching since the start of play,
10:40you won't have seen anything better than that.
10:42It was a longish half-volley, but so beautifully played.
10:47Perhaps it wasn't even as long a half-volley as I thought.
10:53Gosh, it was a good shot.
10:58Beautiful placement. That brings up the 50 in grand style.
11:03Gilchrist has gone.
11:05That's a superb performance from Matthew Hayden.
11:09Been a bit of eyeballing going on out there, but no conversation
11:13between the bowlers and Hayden.
11:16He's given a few of them a long, hard look
11:19and a bit of treatment with the bat.
11:23Well, he's got a long way to go.
11:26He's got a long way to go.
11:28He's given a few of them a long, hard look
11:30and a bit of treatment with the bat.
11:33Goes all the way. It's a beauty.
11:35He's a tremendous striker.
11:37The ball up into the first tier.
11:39Got it on the up.
11:41Matthew Hayden at his best.
11:43Power and timing.
11:46A new set-up, Bill. Full and outside off.
11:48Or add-off. Not.
11:50On leg.
11:51Drifts beautifully.
11:53Outside leg.
11:54Set-up, Bill. Full and outside off.
11:56Or add-off. Not.
11:57On leg.
11:59Drifts beautifully.
12:00Outside leg.
12:01Set-up, Bill. Full and outside off.
12:03Or add-off. Not.
12:05On leg.
12:07Drifts beautifully.
12:08Outside leg.
12:11And onto the middle of Matthew Hayden's massive blade.
12:15In the first tier.
12:18It's a better one.
12:19That's a very, very big one.
12:22It's gone.
12:23That's beautiful use of the feet.
12:26Superb batting by Matthew Hayden.
12:29Been tied down by Kartik.
12:32All of a sudden he hits one for two and then a massive six.
12:36Didn't take him long to get it right.
12:38The second attempt at the straight bat shot.
12:46Disappears.
12:57Sorry.
12:59It's fine.
13:00It's four.
13:04Juraj swept it.
13:05I don't think he was going to get it.
13:07It was there at 45 degrees.
13:09It was a bottom edge.
13:10Laced away for four.
13:12This is a big reason why it is a 300 wicket.
13:15Australia know they need these runs.
13:17This is a basic bottom edge.
13:19Bottom edge miss hit.
13:24Races away.
13:25Gets it from outside off.
13:26Bottom edge.
13:27Past the man at short fine leg.
13:30And doesn't make up one centimetre on it.
13:39That's into the gap.
13:40That's running away down towards the boundary.
13:42That's another good shot.
13:44So Damien Martin playing that cut shot very well.
13:48The timing was impeccable.
13:50Placement was perfect.
13:53Martin's going okay out there today.
13:54He's looked good from the time he came out.
13:57Hardly a false stroke.
13:59And yet he's allowed Matthew Hayden most of the strike.
14:05That's a super shot.
14:08We'll go Tony.
14:09Go.
14:11We'll go.
14:12Right.
14:13Two for 180.
14:14Martin on strike.
14:16Oh that's just wide of gully.
14:19Well it's back at point really.
14:20Martin down the pitch.
14:22Opening the face of the bat there a little bit.
14:25Just to get it away.
14:26Down square to the wicket.
14:28Yuvraj went after it but couldn't make it.
14:34It wasn't a bad effort.
14:35He picked it up late I'd say.
14:37First movement was a little late.
14:40But there's a good stroke from Martin.
14:44He's playing very sensibly.
14:45He'll now try to push a single to give Hayden the strike.
14:53He's got that to third man.
14:55So they'll get one comfortably.
14:58Right.
14:59So Hayden facing again on 99.
15:0294 deliveries.
15:05And the field.
15:06It'll be interesting to see what they do with the field here.
15:09There's no one at mid wicket.
15:11Which is where he plays that cool shot.
15:13Although the square leg is just moving around in that direction now.
15:17Mid on goes back.
15:18Left the sweeper back on the offside.
15:27Oh great shot.
15:28That's it.
15:29Beautifully played through the offside field.
15:32Matthew Hayden has made his fourth one day international century.
15:36He's third against India.
15:38He's second in the series.
15:40Both against India.
15:41And he's very well played.
15:43He's third against India.
15:44He's second in the series.
15:46Both against India.
15:47And he's very first at the SCG.
15:52I don't think any of his other centuries will be better than this one today.
15:58In the circumstances.
15:59Second final.
16:00Australia having won the first one.
16:03And away to a good start with Gilchrist.
16:05Then Gilchrist and Ponting gone.
16:09A sea of people.
16:11And a sea of Australian flags.
16:21That's in the air.
16:22It's so wide of the fieldsman.
16:23It's going to be four.
16:26Yes that's well played.
16:29And that's a wonderful shot.
16:30On the replay.
16:32Just watch the way Hayden is short of the ball.
16:35He's beaten in the flight.
16:37And then he gives himself room.
16:39And just chips it away.
16:42Over extra cover.
16:44Beautifully done.
16:54This time he's beaten mid-on Damian Martin.
16:59150 pucks.
17:00It comes up.
17:02With yet another boundary.
17:05It's alright to have mid-on and mid-off up.
17:09But when one of them is Ashish Nehra.
17:12You've got a problem.
17:13Because he is not a good fielder.
17:16A good fielder would have stopped that.
17:18He didn't even get close.
17:23That's well hit.
17:24But there's a man there.
17:26And he's hung on to it.
17:27Damian Martin will consider himself a little unlucky.
17:31He's hit it straight to Badani in the deep.
17:34He's not all that happy with maybe a word or two he got.
17:37After he played the shot.
17:39But that catch ends a fine innings for Damian Martin.
17:44Badani.
17:46Seemed to hang back a little bit for a second.
17:50And then he.
17:51Came back.
17:53And then he.
17:54Came back a little bit for a second.
17:56And then he.
17:57In the end he had to dive.
17:59It's a well taken catch.
18:03So Damian Martin is on the way.
18:07Well caught by Badani.
18:10And it's now 3 for 230.
18:20A lovely shot.
18:22It was not a half volley.
18:24That was just an excellent cricket shot on the rise from Hayden.
18:29That's boundary number 11.
18:31For himself.
18:32To go with his three sixes.
18:36Magnificent shot.
18:37Terrific timing.
18:40Ashish Nehra.
18:42Just giving up on that one.
18:44Matthew Hayden apologising there.
18:46I think he was watching the ball.
18:48Not concentrating.
18:50On where the bowler was.
18:55Got him.
18:56Big noise.
18:57Well I certainly heard something.
19:00But Rudy Kurtzen didn't.
19:02And what's more.
19:03The bowler heard something as well.
19:06And picked up.
19:08The ball.
19:10And.
19:12Picked up.
19:13Damian Martin caught in the deep.
19:15And I reckon he's a little unlucky not to have Matthew Hayden to go with it.
19:23The baton was appealing to the umpire.
19:26He wasn't just charging down.
19:28And expecting it to be given out.
19:30There's certainly a noise there.
19:34Dravid.
19:35Immediately tossed it in the air.
19:41Certainly a noise.
19:43Dravid.
19:44Was immediate.
19:45In throwing it in the air.
19:47The appeal from Bataan.
19:48Was also.
19:50Immediate.
19:58Big edge on that one.
20:00That'll be four.
20:01That's a perfect edge.
20:02Particularly when you've just come in.
20:08And the bowler.
20:10Showing his frustration there.
20:12Went for the Yorker.
20:15Andrew Symons was attempting to belt it through the covers.
20:19Just got a thick edge on it.
20:21And it turned out to be the perfect spot.
20:28Oh he's knocked him over.
20:30Well Matthew Hayden's played.
20:32Just about every shot in the book today.
20:35And tried the last one.
20:36The reverse sweep.
20:37Absolutely no success at all.
20:42Well he battled so well up to that point.
20:44And it seemed that he was probably getting a bit tired I think.
20:47Because the concentration had gone a little.
20:49He had a couple of big slogs in the previous over.
20:52Missed those.
20:54And you rarely see him attempt the reverse sweep.
20:58And that's probably why.
21:00Hayden has gone for a century.
21:02Australia 4 for 248.
21:08He goes over the top of them.
21:10It's well played from Michael Clarke.
21:13Got a bit of width.
21:14Didn't worry about keeping it down.
21:20Well the bowler can look.
21:23A little frustrated.
21:24But he really only has himself to blame there.
21:27Too much width.
21:29For Michael Clarke.
21:33Not even.
21:35Not even.
21:36A field as athletic as Yuvraj.
21:39Can do anything about that one.
21:54Well he's got that one fine.
21:56That's a superb over.
21:58From Clarke.
21:59And for Australia.
22:014 for 261.
22:05Lovely.
22:06This time it's Simons.
22:08Pick a ball from Tendulkar.
22:10And just use the pace nicely.
22:18Well we saw.
22:20In that TVS Cup final.
22:22It was Michael Clarke.
22:24Who finished off the Australian innings beautifully.
22:27Right.
22:28Murali Kaitek.
22:29Left arm orthodox.
22:31He's bowling over the wicket.
22:33Well that smashed into the gap on the offside as well.
22:36A little bit short.
22:38Well I think we're about to see something.
22:41Extraordinary here.
22:42We've already seen Simons.
22:44Together with Gilchrist play.
22:47A magnificent partnership.
22:51There have been 5 boundaries now.
22:53On the last 9 balls.
22:55And so.
22:57These two.
22:58Are ready to cut loose.
22:59Scored 300s in a week in this VB series.
23:02It's just been a summer of form reversals.
23:05India coming out here.
23:07Nothing much expected of them.
23:09Having it all over the Australians.
23:11Who had bowling injuries.
23:13Then getting injuries themselves.
23:17Oh he's hit that.
23:18Short arm jabbed all the way.
23:20Away she goes.
23:23Just short.
23:25That is a power shot.
23:26There's no doubt about that.
23:28Real short arm jab.
23:30Brave too.
23:32Gives his stumps up.
23:34To the most informed Indian bowler.
23:36Backs himself.
23:38To find the boundary.
23:40Slap.
23:44VVS Laxman's.
23:46Taken about 12 catches in this series as well.
23:49And they've dried up in the last couple of games.
23:53They're getting nothing.
23:55They're getting nothing in the field now the Indians.
24:01Oh he's hit that for four as well.
24:04And that's the 50 partnership.
24:06Just using the speed of the ball there.
24:08Flicking it away.
24:09Boy Andrew Symons is playing as well as I have ever seen him play.
24:1447.
24:16From 25.
24:17Is this partnership.
24:21Between Symons and Clark.
24:22We've hardly noticed them come to the crease.
24:24Symons is 28.
24:26Clark 20.
24:27Off 11.
24:32It doesn't matter whether it's spin.
24:34Pace.
24:35In form.
24:36Out of form.
24:37Part time.
24:39Or strike bowler.
24:41They're disappearing.
24:48Well played.
24:49That's a very good shot.
24:50Four runs.
24:53He's smashed one.
24:54Full.
24:55And over mid wicket.
24:59And he's been giving the stumps.
25:02Up to Naira.
25:03This time he covers his stumps.
25:05And plays the short ball.
25:07Just as effectively.
25:08Andrew Symons.
25:11Symons on strike.
25:13And he's got it.
25:15And he's got it.
25:17And he's got it.
25:19And he's got it.
25:20And he's got it.
25:23Well there goes the short run again.
25:24He's pulled it away.
25:25It's going over the top.
25:26Yes it's going all the way.
25:29Way over the top of the fieldsman down there now.
25:31He was off the line a little bit.
25:33Understandably so.
25:34It's a long boundary down there.
25:36Boy he's strong.
25:41The sinking feeling.
25:43For Verdani.
25:44Symons muscles it.
25:46Straight over him.
25:47And he knows.
25:48About now.
25:49That I've been done in the air.
25:50I was just getting a little clever.
25:51I was coming in to try and cut down the twos and the threes.
25:55And he's found the hole just behind me.
25:58Unlucky.
26:05That went away on the onside net.
26:06Go for four as well.
26:08It's going to take some stopping this.
26:09Oh well played.
26:11Desperate stuff by Verdani down on the boundary.
26:15Andrew Symons.
26:16Andrew Symons.
26:19He's now got 48.
26:23Of 30 deliveries.
26:31Just so strong.
26:33Angled in at the body.
26:34Bellagio decides to follow Symons who's backing away.
26:37But does it too short.
26:40And Verdani.
26:42Puts it all on the line.
26:44Possibly stupidly.
26:47Notice the man on the right of screen coming in to pitch it there.
26:49Right out at mid wicket.
26:50He's now on the rope.
26:51He's forgotten about coming in for twos.
26:55Oh he's hit that.
26:56Straight and hard.
26:57And over the top.
26:59Only about six inches.
27:01But well.
27:03It wasn't much more than six or seven foot above the ground.
27:07Right off the middle of the bat.
27:08He went like a rocket.
27:11Great shot selection.
27:13Tendulkar looking to ball seam up.
27:14Just gets it in the slot.
27:16Rather than a little fuller.
27:18Mid-offs on the.
27:21Mid-on and mid-off are both very square.
27:24Straight down the ground.
27:25So Symons decides.
27:27Straight over the bowlers.
27:28McGough.
27:30Oh he's hit that in the air.
27:31That's going for six as well.
27:33That's a great shot.
27:34Inside out.
27:35He's smashed him over the top of cover.
27:38What a magnificent shot.
27:40Andrew Symons is certainly entertaining the full house.
27:44Here at the SCG.
27:46So much for the simple action going to help him.
27:49Again right in the slot.
27:50It's middle stump.
27:51It's great line.
27:52But he's got his length a little wrong.
27:54And that's magnificent stroke play.
27:56Seen Brett Lee hit one over there.
28:01That's the highest total on this ground.
28:05In one million internationals.
28:08So tremendous effort here.
28:10Look at that shot.
28:11Right off the middle of the bat.
28:12Boy didn't it fly away.
28:15Hole 347.
28:16It's now top of the list.
28:18Here at the SCG.
28:21Australia versus India.
28:23It's been fantastic entertainment.
28:26There can be no doubt about that.
28:27This is the last over.
28:31He's bowled him.
28:32Clean bowled him.
28:33Well.
28:34There'll certainly be a lesson in this.
28:37For Ashish Nehra.
28:39Up in the block hole is what you've got to do.
28:42More often than not.
28:43When batsmen.
28:45Like Andrew Simons are out there.
28:47Flaying it to every corner of the ground.
28:49It's been a superb cameo innings.
28:52Held it across the scene too.
28:54Did Ashish Nehra.
28:56And the crowd thoroughly enjoyed.
28:58Andrew Simons.
29:0039 deliveries at the crease.
29:03One of them was to get out.
29:0566.
29:06Five for 347.
29:08Five balls to go.
29:14I suppose if there's a.
29:16Batting side in the world that could get these.
29:18It's going to be India.
29:20They've got as good a batting side as anyone else.
29:22Oh.
29:23Bottom edge for.
29:25Trying to smash it to Matt Wicket.
29:27Doing the right thing.
29:29Absolutely.
29:30Trying to smash it out the ground.
29:34And you're not afraid of getting out.
29:36That often happens.
29:39Across the seam again.
29:41But the length is short.
29:43It's too short.
29:45So it got Caddick to flying the shot.
29:48Not just defending.
29:51And he got all the luck.
29:54359 is the highest score ever.
29:56By Australia in a one day international.
29:58They've got two balls now.
30:00To better that.
30:02353 posted.
30:08Oh he's hit that for four.
30:10That's very well played.
30:11Just one bounce and over the rope.
30:14Again.
30:16The ball just short of the length.
30:18Able to get underneath it.
30:20Heave it over the top of the infield.
30:24Pure timing.
30:26This man's been sitting in the dressing room.
30:28For 49 overs.
30:30And he comes out and does that.
30:38Indian heads go down.
30:39Australian supporters.
30:41Arms go up.
30:43As he's played well all season.
30:45Simon Caddix.
30:47That's why he's got this opportunity.
30:49Right.
30:51Nice ball.
30:56I'll come back to the second.
30:59And that equals.
31:01The World Cup.
31:03Record of 359.
31:05And on their feet.
31:07This packed house out the area.
31:09The ASEG who have been.
31:11Entertained superbly.
31:13By this very strong Australian batting line-up.
31:16Some gems really.
31:18Wilquist initially.
31:20Hayden 126.
31:22Martin.
31:24Fantastic 67.
31:26Simon's an unbelievable 66.
31:29And Michael Clarke a little cameo.

34:35Oh my.
34:36Have you ever betrayed your country?

34:40Would you lie for me George?
34:42If you needed my-
34:43Would you kill for me?
34:59Welcome to all our international viewers.
35:02Back to the SCG.
35:04Welcome back.
35:06In fact, if you were here for the scintillating start to this
35:10match where the Australians scored 5 for 359 in the second
35:16final of this best of three series.
35:18Brilliant performance.
35:20360 to win for India.
35:22And the asking rate, even before a ball has been thrown,
35:25is 7.2.
35:27So, India, if they don't score a runner ball,
35:30are going to get behind the rate required.
35:35Sehwag and Tendulkar.
35:37Two opening batsmen for India.
35:39They're going to be followed by Laxman, Dravid, Ganguly,
35:42Yuvraj Singh and Badani.
35:44So it's quite a line-up for India.
35:47And it's going to be a very close game.
35:50359 for the Australians.
35:57First ball of the run chase.
35:59360 to win for India.
36:05And what a nice start.
36:0760 to win for India.
36:09And the asking rate, even before a ball has been thrown,
36:12is 7.2.
36:14So, India, if they don't score a runner ball,
36:17are going to get behind the rate required.
36:19Sixth first ball.
36:22It wasn't all that bad a ball.
36:24It was a roundabout leg stump.
36:26But I think it might indicate the intentions of the Indian batsmen.
36:31Very good evening to you, Ian Chapman.
36:33Evening, Rich. And hello to all our viewers.
36:35Well, that's got the run rate where it needs to be for the first over.
36:39Here's Lee.
36:45Well, Tendulkar has got to do something to Brett Lee.
36:48And the best time to do it is early.
36:50Get out the bowler and make him think about what he's got to do.
37:00Oh, great shot.
37:02Absolutely beautiful stroke.
37:07Just straight enough.
37:09I think on the replay you'll find that it was only about middle and leg.
37:18Well, this is about the line that they bowled in Melbourne,
37:21but not the length.
37:23They were bowling short on that line,
37:25getting the ball up into the ribcage area.
37:33Savag's on strike and
37:37in that World Cup we're talking about he made 82.
37:40He top scored in the World Cup final for India.
37:48That's what happens when you give him a bit of room,
37:51although it wasn't so much that they gave him room.
37:54He took it.
37:59I think we're in for an entertaining chase.
38:08It's almost as though he predicted
38:10that that was going to be the short one at him.
38:14He wasn't quite right with his prediction.
38:18He'll take the result every time.
38:26What do you think of that?
38:28That is one of the great catches you will ever see.
38:34Savag has gone.
38:36It was a pretty good shot.
38:39It worked out that the man was up inside the field restriction area
38:44and he was going to work the ball down to deep fine leg,
38:47take advantage of it and pick up a boundary
38:50and Brett Lee has taken a blinder.
38:55He'll be asking for a slot in the slips now after that one
38:59because that is a reaction catch.
39:03Boy, his reactions were very good
39:05and it stuck right in the middle.
39:07Savag will be shaking his head as he walks back after that.
39:14It's one for 22.
39:17Now there are two men at deep fine leg,
39:21one at deep backward for Vivius Laxman.
39:28They're asking for it on the basis
39:31that it flicked the bat on the way through
39:33as he was ducking.
39:36It's one for 23.
39:41It was only the helmet
39:43that flicked the bat.
39:52It flicked the top of the helmet.
39:54The glove wasn't that far away.
40:00Well, no one will get that gook, Chris, after it.
40:06It's gone to four leg buys.
40:14Lee hasn't bowled much
40:16outside the off stump,
40:18giving Tendulkar a deal of width.
40:24That run was taken full advantage of.
40:29Good shot from Tendulkar.
40:31For me, the big test is going to be
40:34when Lee bowled short to Tendulkar
40:37to see what he's going to do.
40:39If he's going to take it on
40:40or if he's going to be tentative
40:43as he was in Melbourne.
40:50Oh, that outfield is fast.
40:53There'll be a problem here even for Simons.
40:56Got away from him as he got closer to the boundary.
41:00The ball was beating him.
41:02One for 36.
41:11That'll go for four.
41:13It was inside edge, I think, on the pad.
41:18Sounded as though there were two noises.
41:21Been given runs.
41:29Australia will still be happy
41:32that they've brought five leg up.
41:35So, back the batsmen out for 12
41:37to a brilliant catch from Brett Lee.
41:39Gillespie, the bowler.
41:41Tendulkar, 20 from 29.
41:43And Laxman, 5 from 6.
41:45Bill Laurie's in the comm box now
41:47and with him, Ian Healy.
41:49Thank you, Richard.
41:54That's four.
41:56That's what's needed.
41:58Made 200 not out in the test match
42:00at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
42:02The great batsman finding a little bit of touch here.
42:04But his partner, Sabo,
42:06who looked in great nick,
42:08has been able to catch the season.
42:10Certainly the reflex catch of the season
42:12by Brett Lee.
42:14They're going.
42:16That's the pull shot.
42:18Before.
42:20He hasn't been able to
42:22produce something to counteract
42:24the short pitch bowling
42:26since Perth.
42:28Until now.
42:34Shot straight to cover.
42:36Brett Lee.
42:38Back in form with the ball.
42:40But this was a great catch.
42:42You don't see many fieldsmen at Leggoe.
42:45Gone!
42:47Straight down the throat of Brett Lee
42:49and he's got two.
42:51Lee at Leggoe.
42:53Gillespie, the bowler.
42:55Tendulkar whipped off his pad.
42:57Straight down the throat of Leggoe.
42:59And all of a sudden it's 2 for 49.
43:01Very few more frustrating ways
43:03to get out.
43:05Easy runs on the pads of Tendulkar.
43:07He looks around.
43:09No, he's headed straight to the man.
43:11Finer than he wanted to get it.
43:13Gillespie will take it
43:15even though it was a pretty average delivery.
43:17Was it a plan?
43:19Was he trying it on purpose?
43:21Only those two men will know.
43:23Tendulkar, out.
43:252 for 49.
43:27I'd love to know
43:29whether that was a plan or not.
43:31Gutsy plan if you're trying to bowl there
43:33to Tendulkar.
43:35As mentioned.
43:37We've got the Sauer wicket.
43:39Worth a dash once again.
43:41It's paid off.
43:43Laxman's been pretty quiet
43:45even though he scored 5 from 6 deliveries.
43:47No big shots and flourishes
43:49from him just yet.
43:51Oh!
43:53Good Yorker.
43:55Well played by Laxman.
43:57Asking a question for the catch.
43:59Is it a replay of the one at the MCG?
44:01They're saying bump ball
44:03or is it out?
44:05They think it's out, the Australians.
44:07Wow!
44:09This would be an interesting one.
44:11It was Hayden at the MCG.
44:13They think they got him.
44:15Well worth a shout.
44:17Rudy Kurtzen was taken by surprise.
44:19Did it hit the ground first?
44:21It did.
44:23That's out.
44:253 catches for Brett Lee.
44:28Let's have another look.
44:30What do you think at home?
44:32It's an interesting one.
44:34Oh, it's out.
44:36The backspin on the ball
44:38coming off the bat.
44:40Watch the ball.
44:42Just scooped backspinner
44:44up to Brett Lee.
44:46Good presence of mind
44:48to ask the question.
44:50He's had a little bit of a think
44:52and they're not with the full appeal.
44:54And that's VVS Laxman.
44:57Song Thao for the 3rd umpire.
44:59Here it's coming.
45:01They're walking to the scoreboard.
45:03Brett Lee's saying give me 3.
45:05A hat-trick of catches.
45:07Spin, spin, spin, spin.
45:09Out!
45:15The light blue section of the crowd
45:17a lot quieter than the yellow.
45:20They can't believe it.
45:22An innocuous little bump ball
45:24sees Laxman walking to the pavilion.
45:27Good delivery by Brett Lee.
45:29Very attempted yorker.
45:31Laxman caught out.
45:33Hayden thought it was a chance.
45:35The umpire does the right thing.
45:37They appealed.
45:40Looked for a moment as if Rudy Kurtzenmaier
45:42had said not out.
45:44Let's read his lips.
45:49It's 3 for 49.
45:52One or two years of patience
45:54to go with the young players as well.
45:56Badani, Yuvraj,
45:58Pathan, Kartik, Balaji,
46:00Nehra, Zahir Khan,
46:02Pardev Patel.
46:04A little bit of patience now
46:06might see a very successful 10 years.
46:09Here's a half a chance if he gets it.
46:11Whoa!
46:14Good night!
46:16Very successful 10 years.
46:19Here's a half a chance if he gets it.
46:21Whoa!
46:23Good night!
46:24Good night, sir.
46:26Brilliant fielding.
46:28He was in that type of mood.
46:30He hit the first ball for six.
46:32He played well.
46:34It was a pretty good shot.
46:36Finally it was up and he went bang
46:38and Lee went wham.
46:40Tremendous catch in the right hand.
46:42That's superb cricket by Brett Lee.
46:44If you're going to glance
46:46you've got to keep the ball down.
46:48This time straight down his throat.
46:50He's beaten everyone with that shot.
46:52It was a cry of catch.
46:54It was beautifully timed.
47:00Good straight hit.
47:03Not a big back lift
47:05but a good follow through.
47:13Tom Parker, the groundsman,
47:15has got this pitch just right for this game.
47:21He's got one right through.
47:23That was the slower ball
47:25and that will delight Brett Lee.
47:27He doesn't get too many wickets with the slower one.
47:29He generally gets them with the Thunderbolt.
47:31That's an excellent change of pace.
47:36Twelve wickets in the series now for Brett Lee.
47:38That one's come out of the back of the hand.
47:40Flicked the pad and on to leg stump.
47:44Brett Lee having a very good night.
47:47Started it with some excellent fielding.
47:49Now he's doing it with the ball.
47:51India, 8 for 1, 23.
47:54It was a handy first three dismissals
47:56for the Australians.
47:58Two openers and Lakshman.
48:00Here's Gillespie.
48:02And that's through.
48:04And that will be four.
48:06It's nicely timed.
48:08Rewi Kartik, his second boundary.
48:19I saw him play as a night watchman
48:21in his test debut.
48:25Got the opportunity to go up the order.
48:27Grabbed it and played pretty well.
48:34And now through cover.
48:36An exhibition here
48:38from Rewi Kartik.
48:44That's his favoured side of the field,
48:46the offside.
48:49Just guiding that one through the covers.
48:52Not trying to hit it too hard.
48:54Realising that you've only got to get it
48:56into the gap with this fast outfield.
49:00Go back to that World Cup final.
49:02Brilliant century in the World Cup final.
49:05And then followed it up
49:07with terrific performances
49:09in the Test Series.
49:12And then
49:14a scintillating 80-odd
49:16in the first final at the MCG
49:18in 2014.
49:21Inside edge.
49:23Oh, brilliantly taken.
49:25Adam Gilchrist.
49:27That's a superb catch
49:29to all but finish the match.
49:31That's an inside edge.
49:33Gilchrist would be going the wrong way.
49:35Transferred the weight back to the right
49:37and took a superb catch.
49:40Brad Williams
49:42had one drop earlier
49:44and that's a terrific effort
49:46once again
49:48but the offside
49:50has got to go back and down.
49:52Not an easy thing to do.
49:54Kadek is out for 23
49:56and it's nine for 136.
49:59You're going to your right.
50:01You're pushing off the left leg.
50:03That's where you get all the impetus from.
50:07He had the
50:09weight balanced beautifully
50:11to push off.
50:13Good effort going sideways and down.
50:14That's over mid-off.
50:16That's a beautiful hit
50:18from Balaji.
50:20It's all right.
50:22Ashley Schneider is the man on strike.
50:24First ball he faces.
50:26Over mid-off for four.
50:30Now it's away on the onside.
50:32Henry Simons won't track it down
50:34even with his pace.
50:39It's unbelievably quick, the ground.
50:41That was, I think, off the toe of the bat
50:44and yet it still raced to the boundary.
50:49Normally you'd be thinking
50:51that'd be lucky to get out of the circle.
51:11Now this one is even bigger.
51:14That will not impress
51:16Jason Gillespie at all.
51:18It will certainly impress
51:20Ashley Schneider.
51:22He's gone
51:24two fours
51:26and now a six off Gillespie's over.
51:28Nine for 151.
51:34It was completely bamboozled.
51:36And that'll do it.
51:37Quite fittingly, Brad Williams
51:39is the man
51:41to end this series
51:43and to give Australia the win
51:45in the VB Series finals.
51:4715 wickets for Brad Williams.
51:49Comprehensive win
51:51by some 208 runs here
51:53for the Australians
51:55who have been superb.
51:58Yes, from the time
52:00they got a hint of the bounce
52:02at the wacker
52:04they've been
52:05really started to give India
52:07some problems.
52:09Once they had the sniff of supremacy
52:11at the wacker
52:13they followed it up
52:15with two very, very good performances
52:17in the finals.
52:19Once again, he has been true
52:21to his word, Ricky Potting.
52:23Two comprehensive wins
52:25for the Australians
52:27in the two finals.
52:29Sighs were very well matched
52:31right throughout the summer
52:33for Australia.
52:35They just lifted their performance.
52:37Just found an extra gear
52:39and unfortunately for our Indian supporters
52:41India couldn't match it.
52:43Damien Martin there back in form tonight
52:45in his first half century
52:47and he'll be a delighted man.
52:49Michael Clarke there
52:5133 from a 20 balls face
52:53so he certainly contributed.
52:55But Brad Williams there,
52:57I thought he had an excellent VB Series
52:59leading wicket taker for Australia
53:01with 15 wickets.
53:03Adam Gilchrist
53:05some 440 runs for him.
53:07It's been a good win
53:09by the Australians.
53:11A little disappointing I suppose
53:13for the Indians who
53:15haven't played as well as they would have liked
53:17obviously in these two matches
53:19but certainly have given Australia
53:21excellent competition
53:23right throughout the summer.
53:25Yes, Sourav Ganguly
53:27talked about how they
53:29really needed to put in
53:31a good performance in this one
53:33so that they could go home
53:35disappointed
53:37with this
53:39succumbing to the Australian side.
53:41They fought them pretty well
53:43for quite a while
53:45but in the end
53:47the Australians
53:49once they got the upper hand
53:51they made the most of it.
