Sourav Ganguly out for duck in last test innings, Krezja leads Australian fightback

Breaking News! In a huge disappointment to millions of cricket fans across the country, Sourav Ganguly was out for a first-ball duck in the last test innings of his career. Everyone expected a good score from Ganguly in his last innings, but he miscued the shot off Jason Krezja and handed a catch to the bowler. With this Sourav Ganguly's illustrious test career came to an end. Sourav made 7,212 runs in 113 tests. He scored 16 centuries and 35 half-centuries.

Indian batsmen almost made a harakiri by throwing away their wickets to beleaguered Aussies and allowed them to come back to the match. Jason Krejza led the Australian fightback. Indian openers Virender Sehwag and Murali Vijay added 116 runs for the first wicket. However, Indians lost quick wickets at regular intervals to slump to 166/6. Sehwag was the top scorer with 92. Vijay made 41.

India were 198/6 when reports last received. Dhoni and Harbhajan were at the crease. For Australia, Krejza and Watson have taken 2 wickets each. Sachin was run out for just 12. India has a lead of 284-run lead over Australia now and will need to extend it to 350 to put pressure on the Australian batsmen in the fourth innings.
