Ishanth Sharma shined in Melbourne. Symonds scored the match winning runs for India by bowling a wide in the 43rd over to bring a victory for India in fourth match of Commonwealth bank series in Melbourne on 10th February. In the beginning Aussies won the toss and elected to bat first. Sreesanth started the match with a wide ball. But he got a massive wicket of Gilchrist just in third ball of first over. But I think Gilly was sent back due to a poor decision by the umpire. Hayden looked too dangerous and was lucky enough to get two lives due to poor timing in the Indian fielding. His wicket was taken by Ishanth soon. The batting line up of Aussies started to crash until Mike Hussey gave a nice stand. But there were nobody give him a supporting hand. As a result Aussies were all out for 159 in 43 overs. Ishanth took 4 wickets, Sreesanth 3, Irfan 2, Bhajji 1. It was Indians turn now. Indians lost two early wickets but Sachin and Gambhir gave a stand and increased the score. When the team score was in 80’s, Gambhir was caught and went out followed by sachin for 44 and Yuvi in single digit. Now I thought Indians will lose the match. But Rohit Sharma who was given out in the last match due to umpire’s poor decision and captain Dhoni played a slow and steady innings. Those two helped Indian team to reach the target. Indians reached their target in the 44th over as Symonds bowled a wide ball to score the match winning runs for India. India won the match by 5 wickets. Ishanth Sharma was announced the man of the match for his 4/38. The young man has a bright future.
