Australian Batsman Dancing Down on Chennai Pitch

Cowan tripped by Ashwin

Clarke towards his Century By dancing down the pitch

On a reddish Chennai Pitch at about 30 degree Celsius, Australian batsman were dancing down the pitch. And the best was done by Micheal Clark. He scored a brilliant hundred today against India and scoring more than 7000 runs in his test career. Cowan was the first man to go and then Australia lost quick wickets today. Although Harbhajan Singh was playing his 100th test match but the star of the day from Indian side was Ashwin picking up six wickets and giving India there first break through. Australia Captain in reply played a confident innings of 103 and is still on crease. He was given a strong support by MC Henriques who scored a valuable 68 runs. Great effort by a bowler. Fast bowlers were remain wicket less today and were expensive. Australia in the end make the day for them self by scoring 316/7. The most used technique by batsman from Australia was to play spinners on the front foot. Cowan tries to play Ashwin on front foot but was stumped by MS Dhoni. On the other hand Mikey played some sweet shots and make sure spinners to remain unsettled by coming on front foot. He dances down the wicket to get his century. His foot work was really a lesson for other Australian batsman for the remaining series. The first day belongs to Ashwin for his good spin bowling and Michael Clarke for his wonderful footwork and dancing down the pitch.
