Thanks S. I remember the 2002 chase of Aussies against the Saffies. Ponting hit a fantastic 100 to win the test match. The pitch' date=' bowling potential of the opponents were different though.[/quote'] he played a similar knock in 05 against same opposition.. graeme smith declared the innings and set austrailia 250= target in 2 and half sessions.. he had to decalre as saf were alredy down 1-0 in series and this was the last test.. PUnter played a fantastic knock to win it for aus

new era Thanks for listing all the close chases. India will win this test match especially if the bowlers can bowl as effectively with swing as they did in the Aussie's first innings. Kumble's extra bounce on the WACA will also help. This Australian team, although very strong, have never been able to handle effective swing bowlers just as they couldn't when they went to England and lost the Ashes. India have been the better team this match and most of last match (Ouch those umpiring decisions really hurt the Indian team!) This is an exciting time for World Cricket as the new Indian players link with the very experienced - a very bright future ahead - perhaps even as dominant as the West Indians in the 70s and the Aussies over the last ten years. Good luck today India - let's see if the Aussie boys are better sports at losing a test then they were at winning the last test. Aussie Mark
