Aussies fall to teenager in India tour match
HYDERABAD, India, Oct 4, 2008 (AFP) - Teenage leg-spinner Piyush
Chawla wrecked Australia's batting with 5-89 as India's second string
took charge of the four-day practice match here on Saturday.
The tourists, replying to the Indian Board President's XI total of
455, were bowled out for 314 in their first innings before tea on the
third day at the Rajiv Gandhi stadium. The hosts were 110-2 in their
second knock at stumps and will begin the final day on Sunday with an
overall lead of 251 runs with eight wickets in hand. Test discards Wasim
Jaffar (46) and Yuvraj Singh (37) were at the crease, having put on 75
for the unbroken third wicket. The match is Australia's final warm-up
