Mark Waugh is easily the best batsman of spin in the present Australian team. He too did not have a good run in the Test series till he got to Chennai. Dighe gave him a reprieve by botching an easy stumping chance when he was on nine. Mark Waugh made that count, hurting the Indians bad with a fluent 70 (1 six, 7 fours). He added 150 runs for the third wicket alongside Hayden before holing out a catch to the substitute fielder Hemang Badani in the covers off the bowling of Sairaj Bahutule.
