Finally, the long wait has come to an end for the Australians. Luckily enough for them, they didn't have to bowl more than 2 overs to pick up the last wicket which lasted about 20 overs. Kumble misses out on what would have been his 2nd Test ton but he would be happy with the fact that his team is in a commanding position. The bowlers now will have to deliver the goods and compliment the efforts put in by the batsmen. Mind you, this is still a very good batting track and the Australians would come out very determined to score runs in the fashion they are known for. We will have all that in just about 10 minutes time from now...
