India vs Australia, 5th ODI at Hyderabad, , Nov 05 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Hauritz you beauty! Hauritz with the deadly throw and PK is run out. It was referred to third umpire,. It was driven hard to left of long-off and they go for the second run. Hauritz fires it to the striker's end where PK is scampering hard. He reaches out with his bat and tries to slide it in. Perhaps, he should have tried to dive in. The ball rushes past him, reaches Manou who breaks the stumps with the bat just outside the line! Australianism prevails. They refused to fade away, refused to give an inch and India, despite a great knock from Sachin, fall short. Just like that last dismissal. What a game. Immense fun.

oh what nervous drama here. Tension killing everyone. IT was the length delivery that moved past Munaf to the keeper. But PK was charging down the track. Manou under-arms the throw but misses the stumps

goes for the big hit and drags it to right of midwicket. He was aiming for the long-on there. He is not happy with himself. Munaf back on strike

really full delivery and Munaf very calmly steers it to third man. Crowd go mad.

from round the stumps, back of length, skids in just outside off, Munaf stays adjacent to the line and steers it to third man. He will be on strike. Hope floats for Australia. They will reckon one good ball or even a nervous run out

backs outside leg stump, Bollinger follows him and it bounds off his pad to third man. Munaf has one ball left to face. Can Bollinger take him out? Can Munaf hang on?

moves outside leg, Bollinger fires in a yorker and it just about misses the off stump ... ooh .. Bollingger stares down the pitch

length delivery on the middle stump, steered to backward point and PK screams out NOOOO and Munaf, who had moved down the track, gets back in time

OMG! PK has hit a six over long-off! He moved outside leg stump and biffed it high over long-off. The stunned crowd suddenly find their voice.

And then they were two. Australia rock on. What a wonderful fighting performance from Oz. IT was the full delivery and Nehra chips it straight to long-on! The crowd fall silent as Nehra trudges off. In the middle, a cloud of yellow are in charge and celebrating in the huddle.

More drama Another run out almost but it has been a superb over ... lovely slower one, bouncing away, runs off the edge to point and again, almost another run out The throw comes in and Nehra is just short of the crease but it's not a direct hit. Panic has set in.

low full toss outside off stump, lashed out to third man and oh dear! almost another run out. Pressure. There was a slight fumble at third man and PK wants the second but Nehra, wisely, sends him back.

It looks like Chennai 1999 here folks. Exit SRT and the collapse begins. Jadeja is run out He was run out last game under similar pressure condition and he has succumbed again. It was pushed straight to cover and Jadjea sets for a non-existent single. PK does the obvious thing: sends him back but too late. The throw comes in to the bowler who takes out the stumps. Australian fielders erupt in joy

Drama. First a yorker then almost a run out. It was dug out to the off side, McKay rushes to his left, grabs the ball and fires in a throw at the striker's end., PK dives but the ball misses

goes for the pull, misses but will collect a leg bye

Sachin is gone, the crowd go silent before giving him a standing ovation. Tendulkar moved across the stumps, McKay, known for his slower one, bowled one from back of the hand and it bounced. Tendulkar tries to paddle-scoop it over short fine-leg but alas for him it goes straight up and the fielder takes a dolly. But spare a thought for Sachin. What a great knock this has been. He has entertained one and all with a fabulous innings and taken India close. Will the rest do the job or will it be Chennai 1999 all over again? Can Australia go for the kill?

full in length, moves in towards the pad, inside edge, runs just past square-leg .. no one there and Jadeja runs really hard and scampers home for the second run. The crowd love that effort.

almost a yorker, short of blockhole, flicked away from the middle stump line

short in length, on the middle and leg, turned towards midwicket for a single

in the zone outside off, tries to dab it to third man but misses

Full and outside off, Jadeja goes for the cover drive but gets a lucky fat edgee that takes the ball through the vacant slip region

Thwack! It was short of length delivery outside off and Jadeja square-cuts it superbly to point boundary. Tendulkar punches Jadeja's gloves
