Adelaide: Indian’s had another tough outing on the opening day of the final test match between India and Australia at Adelaide. Indian’s unlike the previous matches started off quite well picking 3 Australian wickets giving away just 84 runs, but it was the experienced pair of Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting who saved the day for their team with an unbeaten partnership of 251 runs.

Australia after the first day are in the position from where they can dictate terms to the Indians and Indians will have to play out of their skins to avoid another whitewash.

Brief Score: Australia 1st innings – 335/3 (Michael Clarke 140*, Ricky Ponting 137*, R. Ashwin 2-81)
