After a disappointing batting show, the
Australians pulled up their socks to put on a destructive
bowling performance at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
The hosts - the young RCA Centre of Excellence found the
Australian bowling too hot to handle as they collapsed in a
little over 52 overs for a paltry 122.
The Aussies decided to put a fullstop to the
match an hour after lunch
on the second and final day as they achieved
what they wanted which was a bit of batting and a bit of
bowling in Indian conditions. Brett Lee had captured a couple
of wickets at the top while the uncapped bowlers - left arm
pacer Doug Bollinger and offie Jason Krejza took three each.
All the six bowlers used by Ponting with the exception of
Mitchell Johnson were amongst the wickets. The Australians
will now travel south to Hyderabad where they will encounter a
much more competitive opposition in the Board President' XI
which is going to be led by Yuvraj Singh. That 4-day game
begins on the 2nd of next month.
