Watch the Full Extended Video Highlights from the 2nd Day of the Tour Match Between Indian Board President’s XI v Australians from the Hyderabad where Australians struggling to save follow-on. Brief Score : Australians 191 for 4 (Hussey 54) trail Board President’s XI 455 (Sharma 105, Kohli 105, Patel 62, Pathan 56, Johnson 4-75) by 264 runs.
The Australians struggled to contain the runs on a slow, barren pitch so typical in India as the home team’s batsmen stroked freely in good batting conditions. But when their turn came to bat, the Australian top order groped against the turning ball with young leg-spinner Piyush Chawla claiming 2-46. Opener Matthew Hayden was caught behind off Irfan Pathan for 20, while his likely partner in the first Test, Simon Katich, was dismissed by left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha for 15. Skipper Ponting, desperate to end his dismal run on Indian soil where he averages just 12 in eight Tests, made 41 before Chawla uprooted his middle stump with a googly.
Chawla also trapped Michael Clarke leg-before for 18, but Mike Hussey and Brad Haddin rescued the tourists by adding 63 for the fifth wicket. At stumps, Hussey was unbeaten on 54 and Haddin was on 34. The 19-year-old Chawla said he expected the Australians to struggle against spin in the Test series.
