Bracken starts his over. Wicket first ball !! Sehwag gone, l.b.w.

Second ball, to Laxman, was almost identical, in fact closer, and given not out. Wicket maiden.

Tendulkar hits Williams for a 2 and a four then is struck on the pad. Big appeal. Not out. Was closer than the other two !!

Bichel gets success from his second ball. Laxman for 21. 2/49 from 10 overs.

India look a mess, not the side we saw a week ago, while Australia are playing like world champions even with it's 2nd tier bowling attack

Bracken and Williams have really come of age in this tournament which is the most important thing for the Australians

India are 204/9 and need to reach 228 to stop Australia from getting the bonus point

Game, Set, Match AUSTRALIA

Australia will walk away with 5pts while India go home with 0

Marvellous display by the Australians all round, who really taught the World Cup pretenders a lesson today

Punter questioned his Batting lineup after the loss last week and they rose to the challenge, in particular Martyn and also Symonds and Bevan

Men of the Match go to....D.MARTYN, N.BRACKEN and M.CLARKE

Australia now regain their rightful place atop the TVS points table and India and particularly their captian have some thinking to do

Australia 286/8 d India 209 by 77 runs

Thanks for those reports, tazza. Good stuff. It was getting quite cold here so I retired to bed to watch the game.

How valuable is Adam Gilchrist !?? And what a team player. I'd choose him ahead of Sacred Sach, any day.

Last night, as he often does, he threw a spanner into the works of the Indian game plan. When opening bowlers run into a thrashing machine like Gilly, they need to be of extremely high quality not to lose it.

Zaheer Khan is rated fairly highly but his first over went for 14, albeit including the prized wicket of Hayden. After 3, he had 1/37.

Hard to know if it was in India's plans to open with part timer, Sehwag, from the other end or if Gilly's onslaught forced a change in thinking. The thought wasn't all that bad but the choice of bowler was. Surely Harby or Kumble were the options ? Sehwag went for 14.

A start like Gilly and Ponting provided - and this was not a good wicket for batting - set it up for Martyn, Symonds and Bevo to tick the scoreboard over.

You'll never see Gilly get a start like that and then dig in to rack up a personal century like Tendulkar did in the first game. He's the ultimate team man.

Bracken certainly is bringing big smiles to the Aussie leadership. A wicket in the first over again and should have had Laxman, next ball. His very recent developement of an inswinger to the right handers is reaping rewards.

Harvey bowled very well in Australia's demolition of New Zealand but was replaced by Michael Clarke for this match because of the wicket. He didn't let anyone down and is making every post a winner.

India made a stupid move by opening the bowling with Sherwag. To me that was the main difference in the game and a tactical blunder. They were forced to bowl their trump card in Singh earlier than they would have liked.

Australia deserved their win but that move is up there with playing Cloke as a forward as the dumbest move of the year.

"The over before I got Tendulkar out, I turned to Punter and just said I'd get him a wicket next over. It was more arse than class, I think!"

What do I keep saying about positive thinking, folks ??
