A good over for India, there, but a bad one for Australia.
46.6 Lee to Pathan, no run, outside off, Irfan goes for the cut and misses it
46.5 Lee to Pathan, 2 runs, stays over the wicket, short ball and pulled into midwicket
46.4 Lee to Dhoni, 1 run, low full toss driven hard and straight out to long-off
46.3 Lee to Pathan, 1 run, rocks back and swipes out to the covers on the front foot
46.2 Lee to Dhoni, 1 run, pushed forward this time
46.1 Lee to Dhoni, SIX, short ball outside off, a mis**** off the base of the bat initially looks like he will hole out, instead it travels all the way straight over the bowler with a full drive

Good deception there from Bracks to decieve Pathan, but wary Harbhajan, he has been at his slogging best on this tour.

Cricinfo : Huge boos as Harbhajan walks out to the crease :(
What did you expect? Bouquets of flowers?

Whatever the result later on, this has been a wonderful effort by Australia since about the 30th over. With Clarke bowling so well though, the pitch may assist the Indian spinners.

Bracken gets Dhon. He is a good ODI bowler is Bracken, but he is a really ugly bugger definatley fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Two things to say.

This session could be the session which costs India what would have been an amazing series victory. Can't believe how bad they batted in those last 10-12 overs.

Ponting bringing Lee on, despite him just getting Habhajan out, was such a horrible decision, and that's not even in hindsight. Hopes was bowling well, you don't take off a bowler who is bowling well.

How can you blame Ponting? Lee has been by far the best bowler in Australia this summer and has generally bowled superbly at the death. How is trusting him to do the same after doing it repeatedly all season a bad choice?

Should've kept Hopes on ittbt.
Yeah Binger could be a pathetic death bowler at times and at best he is just a steady death bowler, i would have tried Johnson at the death but his form atm ain't too good, so yeah Hopes would ghave been a good option.
EDIT: Every tailender is creaming Lee to the boundary!!

But Lee has always been crap at the death.

Read what I just said. Dhoni and Pathan couldn't buy a run off Hopes. It was obvious slow stump-to-stump bowling was working on the wicket. Sometimes your best bowlers don't need to bowl out when your other bowlers are not only doing their job, but exceeding what you expect from them.
