Australia made 277-6, thanks to 60s from debutant Cowan and veteran Ponting...an even first day?

Questionable decisions to remove Hussey and Cowan...now we know why India don't like DRS.
:?
Aussies make 333, and once again Dravid steadies the ship as India are 214-3 at stumps. Fairly even so far....

Hilfenhaus takes a five-fer as the Aussies get a 50-run lead on first innings, but the Indian pacers strike back to leave the match in the balance, as only Ponting and Hussey offer any resistance....

Stumps - Day 3
Australia 333 & 179/8 (60.0 ov)
India 282
Australia lead by 230 runs with 2 wickets remaining
Hmm.. if India can wrap up OZ for about 250, they have a good chance securing a win. OZ will not give up easily so they will have to work hard for it. Should be a good showdown and looking forward to it .. :)
