Aggressive Australia after the defeat in the 3rd test against India, changed their approach totally. Most of the strike rate gone down. Its clear that they are looking for a draw rather than a win in the 4th Test mate in Adelaide.
Australia batting in the third day shown that they are clearly in their cautious about not loosing the game and they don't want India to square the series. Especially Ricky Ponting hanging on the back foot is also a sign that Australia clearly on defensive not give India a change to square the series. Good batting track and opportunity to have big score on both sides. Australia such a good batting line up should have capitalized the situation rather than holding back in their crease.
India is under pressure now to get the australian wickets by 2 session of the 4th day. 3 day of the test match gone well except some heated session between Hayden and Pathan & Ricky ponting and Harbhajan singh.
For Adam Gilchrist this test would be the last one to retire from Test matches and Tri Series would be the last one day matches as well. Gilchrist was a match winner and in many occasions his score made a huge difference for Australia putting opponents under pressure. Gilchrist has his own style of batting even in pressure situation and high batting average.
