India vs Australia, 3rd Match at Bengaluru, Oct 21 1996 - Ball by Ball Commentary

pierces the infield and India have sealed the most unlikely win! Full and into the pads, leans in again and gets it to square leg's left this time, past his outstretched left arm

saved at square leg. Yorker at middle, he tips over and flicks, but can't get a run

length at middle stump, gratefully tucks this to deep square

length at the stumps, shuffles and tucks it to fine leg

misfield at deep square and that's four! Short ofa length at his body, stays back in the crease and swipes in front of his thigh with great timing. Law runs to his left there, through the rubbish that the crowd has thrown in. Lunges low to his left but lets it through

once again, sits deep in the crease and gets the ball he's anticipating. Short of a length outside off, gently steers it to third man

a slip at fine leg and Srinath sprints back for the second. Oh pressure, pressure. Srinath sitting deep in the crease for the short ball, tucks it to fine leg - no intent to attack - and brings the required runs into single digits

full and into the pads. Leans in and clips it to fine leg

misses out on a juicy full toss. Nerves from the inexperienced bowler? Slower ball goes wrong and floats up at axing height for Srinath, who mistimes and can only get a single at deep square

short of a length into the body, watchfully nudged into the leg side

clears midwicket! That's a good shot from Srinath, who might have been expecting the back of a length ball based on McGrath's change-ups last over. Because he was quickly in position for the pull and he nailed the connection

short of a length outside off, gets back in the crease and flat-bats this to the deep midwicket fielder

short of a length and cramped him. Probably a better length. But this deflects into the off side off his pad and they have the run anyway

past the edge. Short of a length outside off, shapes to cut but that is quickly past him

low full toss at middle stump, flicked to deep midwicket

low full toss on middle stump, sensibly tucked to deep square leg

starts with a full toss outside off. Kumble extends the arms and slaps this past extra cover. Sweeper cover cleans up to his right

run out appeal. Length ball pushed to extra cover's left. He swoops down and hits the stumps direct at the striker's end. Srinath has made it. And another roar from the crowd as the green light glows

tucks it down to fine leg! Gillespie loses his radar, fires a full toss at his pads and Kumble merely has to get bat on this. He does

beaten. This guy is rapid and he's been on the money all evening. Length outside off, beaten on the defense
