#3 A Very Very Special man comes to India’s rescue
An India-Australia Test match was invariably incomplete without something special from VVS Laxman. Day 3 of this match ensured that this trend continued. Like he had done numerous times in the past, Laxman, in the company of Dhoni and the tailenders were given the task of getting India out of trouble. And Laxman did not disappoint.
First with Irfan Pathan, then with MS Dhoni and finally with number 10 batsman RP Singh, the Hyderabad batsman put together valuable runs. The difference between setting a target of 300 runs and the 413 runs (which India eventually set the Aussies) was Australia’s nemesis, Laxman.
He scored 79 runs and was the highest scorer in India’s second innings. Pathan’s two wickets late in the day wrapped up a satisfying day for the Indians and they were now very close from creating history at the W.A.C.A.
