It has been Green & Gold all the way today. Barring a spell of dazzling batting from Sachin Tendulkar it has been a dismal showing. Purists questioned the wisdon of Steve Waugh's decision to put the opposition in and now they have all been forced to eat humble pie 176 all out and that is not going to be enough under normal circumstances. Either India have to bowl exceptionally well or Australia have to bat exceptionally badly for the momentum to swing thew Indian way again Glenn McGrath was as impeccable as ever with 19-13-19-3. Warne helped himself to 4/47 and it was all over Apart from Tendulkar none of the batsmen came good. Ganguly was disappointing, Dravid dismal and Laxman stoic The tail as ever wagged hard withou getting anywhere. Srinath showed pluck sticking around for 12 but the others all disappointed.
