Ponting & Gilchrist lost their wicket, India enough to wrap up the contest in the 4th day at perth. India win by 72 runs.
All it came possible when India took the wicket of Ricky Ponting, which is a crucial one as far as india is concerned. Because he is the one who scored the maximum in wining matches at a average of above 90.
Here is how they got Ricky. After 8 overs of Ishat Sharma, Kumble thought of having him in the later end. But Shewag insisted and asked him to continue with Ishant and to give him a another over because still Ponting was there in the crease. This was the crucial decision and it worked fine.
Hussey might not be happy with the decision made by umpire on LBW appeal, replay showed that ball might go well above the stumps, and Symonds given LBW while he got an inside edge of the bat. Probably this might not affected match because on the other end wickets are falling at regular intervals.
And one cannot settle after getting Ponting, and other end Adam Gilchrist was the man who can do pull up the match with his strong batting average. And Gilchrist bowled out by Virendra shewag. That's all Indian's started sensing the victory.
At one stage Clark and Gilchrist are looking good with their partnership and it was broken by shewag. And some incredible shots by the tailenders impressed the crowd with couple of sixes and fours but it didn't last long.
Australia winning streak has finally ended up in perth, after Ponting and Gilchrist failed.
