00:07The Australian team making their way out onto the Sydney Kriya ground and waiting for Australian
00:17captain Stephen Waugh. Shaking hands, well wishes and after all that they're going to
00:25get down to business. Steve Waugh leads the Australian team onto the Sydney Kriya ground for the final
00:35time.
00:40It's well bowled, that's no ball, it's no ball, come back, they're all crying for the catch,
00:47it was a genuine nick. Lee found the outside edge, it went through to Gilchrist and Billy
00:51Bowden, threw out his arm, no ball. Members of Kevin were no ball, they were in this game
00:58in the first half hour. He dropped it, oh it's all happening at the Sydney Kriya ground, it
01:05flew straight to slip and he's put it down, Simon Caddick's the local hero and poor old
01:11Brett Lee can't take a trick.
01:14There was one, this is the one that just got dropped from Simon Caddick, straight to the
01:20chest, Simon Caddick is generally very, very good.
01:25Oh he's had a go at that one over the top, that's a very well played shot, he loves it
01:30in that area.
01:32Sawag every now and again unleashes that clutch shot and he almost looks as if he's getting
01:36underneath it and he's hit it all the way, it's just carried the boundary down there at
01:40backward point, a fantastic shot.
01:45So power as well as finesse, first up.
01:52Oh and well played, that one's through the offside, just playing a little way from his
01:58body but he's hit it in the middle of the bat, he's a wonderful striker of a cricket ball.
02:05Thump past mid-off, that's a magnificent shot.
02:09Samark 49, Chopra 34, another outstanding opening partnership.
02:15One for a half century, McGill the bowler from the southern end.
02:23That's a nice way to bring it up at 50, Stuart McGill gave him the opportunity, tossed one up
02:29round about leg stump, good thinking but beautiful execution by Sawag.
02:39That's well, I've got him, the great edge, yes it's a wicket, that's the breakthrough, wore
02:44him down, the big wicket, Westby strikes, Sawag's gone for 72.
02:52Oh, it was right through him, superb bowling from Brett Lee, he couldn't get the previous
02:58one through, that was a fraction quicker, that's outstanding bowling, when you're a bowler
03:03man who's been there for three hours and you can knock him over like that, Sachin Tendulkar
03:08is the new man out in the middle, averaging 55.
03:15There's no man out there, Tendulkar has decided to try and take advantage of it.
03:24Oh, and did that hit the pad first, up they go, that's given him out, yes he's at WW.
03:30No, I think that's a very good decision, he waited long and thought about it and that's
03:36a good decision, there it is.
03:42There he goes, he's a good player this way, beautiful cover drive, just a little bit of
03:50wit.
03:55That's a good shot, unusual shot from Sachin Tendulkar, saw it fractionally short, hit
04:02it back past the bowler.
04:06Oh, great shot, wonderful timing.
04:12Batting card shows, it's a good batting strip, all the batsmen getting a start.
04:21Well, there he goes again, through the cover.
04:26There's four more, some VBS Waxman's on the move here at the Sydney cricket ground with
04:30three beautiful boundaries.
04:34There he goes again, that's a glorious stroke.
04:37What a feast here for the full house, VBS Waxman on fire, as he was last series here
04:42at the Sydney cricket ground, he made a magnificent 169.
04:48There's a chance, he takes it, he's a beautiful on driver.
04:52First runs for the morning, but oh so graceful, oh so important for India that this man gets
04:57away.
05:01Well, that's through the gap and that's four as well.
05:04Well, I said he was bowling well, that was a bad delivery.
05:06Short outside off stump and the Indians just love cutting.
05:16Well, neither of those two deliveries were all that bad, but they've gone for eight runs,
05:21three for 3.45.
05:28Wonderful stroke, you might have learned a bit from the ball before.
05:35100, just one run away for Tenduka.
05:44And there it is.
05:47Well, that's a comeback hundred, if you can use that phrase for one of the greatest players
05:54the world has ever seen.
05:55100 for session Tenduka.
05:58Great knock, great player, fantastic knock and it's a real sign of a great player, his
06:04team needed him to come out and get a hundred.
06:06He didn't have the best 2003, he's come out and made a great hundred here when his team
06:11needed him.
06:14Lovely shot.
06:16Beautiful wristy shot, that one.
06:27That's lovely.
06:28That is lovely.
06:30That is just a forearm jab down the ground and races to 99.
06:39And they will do it.
06:41Nicely fended down.
06:43Another hundred, the second in this series for VVS Laxman.
06:48Another very stylish hundred too.
06:52Seventh in test match cricket.
06:55And the really good news for VVS Laxman is it's four against Australia.
07:07That is majestic.
07:10There's a man in position just for that ball, looking for the catch.
07:14There's no way in the world he's going to catch that.
07:20Yes, yes, yes, yes.
07:25These little tables in series involving Australia recently have, in the main, been dominated by
07:30the Australians.
07:31Not the case this time.
07:36This time he's picked the gap beautifully.
07:38Magnificent shot.
07:44Too short that time.
07:45There's no man out there either.
07:46He goes from 146 to 150 with an easy pull shot.
07:50Congratulations, Laxman.
07:52Well played, VVS Laxman.
07:54The crowds appreciated this great knock.
07:59Wide half volley.
08:01Brilliantly struck.
08:02The foot wasn't there, but it was planted.
08:05And the bat certainly found it.
08:12Yes, that man's got to be straight up.
08:13And so has the mid-wicket.
08:16Tenduka loves it in that area.
08:17Beautifully played for four.
08:20Well, I can tell you, Tony, with that four, Sachin Tenduka now has scored more runs in this
08:25year, which is only three days old, than he did all last year.
08:29Test match cricket.
08:32Knocked it over.
08:34Beautifully bowled.
08:35The breakthrough finally comes at five o'clock.
08:39And it's Gillespie knocks over.
08:41And if anybody deserves it, it's Jason Gillespie.
08:48He's bowled magnificently.
09:02That's very well backed up by Patel.
09:05Two hundred for Tenduka.
09:09It's his third double hundred.
09:12217 against New Zealand.
09:15In Ahmedabad, 99-2000.
09:17201 against Zimbabwe and Nagpur.
09:202000-2001.
09:26Full pitch.
09:27Inside edge.
09:31Pick up two.
09:34Well, that's rare, isn't it?
09:35Seven for 700.
09:44He's gone for it.
09:44He's got it away.
09:45That brings up the 200 for Brett Lee.
09:48And that's the best shot he's played for a long time.
09:50He got inside that bounce and hooked it away beautifully.
09:57It's well run.
09:59A little misfield by Wanger.
10:03And there it is.
10:06Declaration at seven for 705.
10:10Tenduka not out 240.
10:13Akarn not out 13.
10:16The record score here at the Sydney Creek Ground.
10:18The fourth and final test match.
10:20The highest score by an Indian outside of India at test level.
10:25The Master is back.
10:26A standing ovation.
10:27Well deserved.
10:28There's innings of character and great concentration.
10:35McGillen compares at seven for 705.
10:38Wonderful ovation for Sassan Tenduka.
10:45There's another 200 in the series as well.
10:47This time it's a bowler.
10:48Brett Lee, four for 201.
10:50Glesby, three for 135.
10:52Bracken none for 97.
10:53McGillen none for 146.
10:56His second test entry here at the Sydney Creek Ground.
10:59178.
10:59Just shots all around the wicket.
11:02He plays very well on the offside.
11:05That's a glorious cover drive.
11:07And then when you get something around about his pads, he whips it away there through mid-wicket.
11:11So the bowlers have to be absolutely spot on.
11:15There's no shortage of strokes from him.
11:16And that was just about my favour.
11:19The back foot stroke away through the covers.
11:21And then a more forceful one-away pass point.
11:24And when McGill strayed around about Lake Stump and Bracken tried to contain him,
11:28they're both whipped away with the utmost ease.
11:35He's just a top-class player.
11:38It's been a privilege to watch him in this series.
11:40Wonderful club.
11:42He's so composed as well.
11:44I think he understands now at international level the shots he can play.
11:48And he's very composed during his long innings yesterday.
11:53Partnership of 301 with Sachin Tendulkar.
11:56Not at any stage do we seem to lose his cool.
11:59And the Australians were throwing as best as they could at it.
12:02Yes, these guys let themselves down a bit with their fielding.
12:05And the bowling suffered a bit because of that.
12:08But it was just a secure partnership.
12:12He'd never made the big double hundred that he craved.
12:14And if you look at all these strokes, when he drives the ball down the ground straight,
12:18you know he's going to play somewhere near his best in terms of scoring a great many runs
12:23because it's a key stroke for him.
12:25But onside all the time, little works through square leg, lovely drives, wide of mid-wicket.
12:31The great thrill of going to 100 and the punch of the air.
12:34He's not a man who wears his heart on his sleeve.
12:36So when he showed that emotion, he got an idea of how thrilled he was.
12:39But nothing really driven through the covers.
12:42The odd square cut.
12:42Even that ball from just outside of Stump driven straight again, just wide of leg stump.
12:47The non-striker then.
12:48I reckon this was an unbelievable effort.
12:50And of course it's given India, something that they don't often have against the Australians,
12:54a rare platform to put the pressure back on the Australians.
12:57It's such a balanced top six now in this Indian line-up.
13:02You put the best player in the world in.
13:03You put VVS Laksman in.
13:04You put Surabh Gangbhuli.
13:06Raul Bravid, one of the top players in the world.
13:09Suddenly they have been in this series in a position to dictate from the start.
13:14I wonder if there's ever been a cricket team that's had four more natural timers in the
13:20ball than Sawag, Laksman, Tendulpa and Gangbhuli.
13:24And then there's the technician Dravid as well.
13:27I mean, they're an unbelievably good side to watch.
13:35It's Matthew Hayden at his best.
13:37It's exactly how he played in India some three years ago.
13:46Now down the ground.
13:50And I think just all the way.
13:53Cliff face he's developed, Matthew Hayden.
13:56The last three balls, straight north.
14:01Now Langer.
14:02Yes, that's four more.
14:05I thought just for a moment that was drifting towards the man that made on.
14:10Have you got enough on it?
14:11And that's 16 from the over.
14:17Make that 50.
14:19Big gap at mid-off.
14:22Langer gets the half folly and races to 50.
14:26Only 66 balls faced in that half century.
14:33Now square.
14:34My word, he's hit that hard.
14:39That's all.
14:40Great.
14:40It's going a long, long way.
14:42Brings up the 100 partnership.
14:44Beautifully struck.
14:45Straight hit.
14:46Matthew Hayden at his best.
14:48And good afternoon, Shane Warne.
14:49Good afternoon, Bill.
14:51And there we go.
14:51A little shake of hands.
14:52These boys mean business.
14:53They're going to try and score at a really fast rate.
15:00Guard!
15:01Shouts of catch it.
15:02Mid-off is under it.
15:04And he's taken the catch.
15:06So that's a good reward for Anil Kumlay.
15:08He's been far and away the best bowler for India.
15:13He has troubled Hayden.
15:14And he's finally got his wicket.
15:19Gotcha!
15:20That's cleared mid-on easily.
15:27Doesn't matter where people are hitting the ball.
15:31Hardly ever seems to be a fielder out there.
15:39This time he's gone much squarer and much longer.
15:48Empire Billy Bowden has given it the full six.
15:54And the man in your picture now is not finished yet.
15:5798-14-4s.
15:59He's hit some really good shots.
16:01The field spreads.
16:03Two men back.
16:03One at square leg.
16:04One at deep mid-wicket.
16:06And mid-on even going back a little bit.
16:09Always reverse swept him.
16:10That's it.
16:11Oh boy, he's cheeky today.
16:14He's flicked that one away.
16:16A reverse sweep for four.
16:18The SCG are on their feet.
16:21Justin Langer has played a superb innings here.
16:2517th Test 100.
16:26He made 200 here against the Indians four years ago.
16:29But that stroke, I mean, as Tony said,
16:31that's as cheeky, as impish,
16:33and as skilful as you can ever imagine, really.
16:44Straight up.
16:45He's gone for it.
16:46Keeper's gone for it.
16:47And well taken.
16:49Well, he certainly wanted the ball,
16:51and he was the man to go after it.
16:53And they picked him up.
16:55He's not a big man,
16:56but a lot of excitement there at getting rid of Justin Langer.
17:00Good bowling once again, Anil Kumblae.
17:05Well, that's got to be worth a shout.
17:07Umpire Buckner has a long look,
17:09and Kumblae really has got his tail up.
17:13He's got the top three.
17:14He's already taken all ten once in his career.
17:26Another gesture from the Indian team, too.
17:28All clapping on the way out.
17:30Crowd standing up.
17:32Long time coming and playing over years.
17:35His 18th Test match here in Sydney really is a marvellous moment for him and everybody.
17:39He's got a job to do for his team.
17:43It's just the swing.
17:44A little bit.
17:44And swinging to the boundary for four.
17:47That was right into the slot.
17:50And Steve Waugh is picking the south swing.
17:52What he's got to be a little careful of now
17:54is not picking the one that goes the other way.
17:59Now that's out as well, and that's four as well.
18:02Just a little bit short,
18:03and he's cut it away to the boundary for four.
18:06Eight runs off the other.
18:08Two boundaries to Steve Waugh.
18:09Three for 261.
18:11You'll see how Steve Waugh has certainly got more comfortable
18:14over the last half hour or so.
18:18Into the gap again, and another four.
18:20Boy, he loves that shot.
18:22That's 1,000 against India in Test matches.
18:26And another boundary for Steve Waugh.
18:28What does that make it now?
18:29Five.
18:35Beautifully done.
18:36That is such classy cricket.
18:40And you will see celebrations to behold here,
18:42because he's the obstacle, Steve Waugh, and he's gone.
18:45And now they're going to stand at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
18:49There's a wonderful bit of bowling.
18:51The late swing we spoke about,
18:53but just have a watch and a listen of this.
18:56Are they saying goodbye?
19:12Oh, he's caught it, but I don't think there's any better.
19:13Yeah, there is.
19:14He's got him.
19:15What a catch.
19:16What a catch.
19:18Dive into his right.
19:19Bat pad, and he's gone.
19:21Kumbwe struck again, and he's got five,
19:23and he's deserved every one of them.
19:2799 for Kadic, 12 for Gillespie.
19:33Now he's 103.
19:37And that is a brilliant innings.
19:45The SCG rises to him.
19:48His first Test match, 100.
19:51Lovely touch with the late cuts
19:53and strength with those punchy sort of drives
19:56and placement with the whips through the onside
19:59and great use of the feet
20:01when he comes down towards the spinners.
20:03Power when he's swinging his arms freely.
20:08And elegance, too, when he gets to 100.
20:12Swing.
20:13The man's there.
20:14He's back.
20:14He's back.
20:15Oh, good catch.
20:16Good catch.
20:17And Kumbwe's got eight.
20:18What a performance.
20:21Agurica takes a very good outfield catch,
20:23but Emil Kumbwe stands tall.
20:25A wonderful effort.
20:27He's got eight for 141.
20:30Agurica took a very, very good catch.
20:35Australia chasing 705.
20:37A bolt out for 474.
20:46Rahul Dravid's gone way over the top
20:48and really launched that one.
20:54He's gone for it.
20:56It's over mid-wicket.
20:57They didn't pick it up.
20:58And that's four more.
21:00And Brett Lee once again dropping short.
21:02Pulled away.
21:07That's a good play by Tendulco.
21:09He's giving Dravid the strike
21:10and he's also going to half century himself.
21:21I think it's collected him on the side of his helmet,
21:25the wire bit.
21:36Either the side of the grill
21:37or the ball itself
21:39is driven into the ear.
21:41Saurav Ganguly has declared
21:44Rahul Dravid has been injured.
21:46So he's going off with 91 against his name.
21:50Congratulations from the Australians
21:51for Rahul Dravid
21:52and for Sashin Tendulco as well.
21:5491 to Rahul Dravid
21:56and 60 to Sashin Tendulco.
21:59Well, the pressure here is building on all of us.
22:01Here he comes.
22:03For the last time
22:04as captain of Australia.
22:22For Stephen Waugh and his family,
22:25this is a wonderful moment.
22:33Nice to hear.
22:33He made a magnificent hundred
22:34to hold his place in the side.
22:37Today, can he save Australia?
22:39They're in trouble.
22:40It's three for 170.
22:44He comes hard at the ball early on.
22:46There's a silly point.
22:47There's two short legs.
22:48Kumbay.
22:50Well, it's all.
22:51He tries to drive through cover.
22:52It's the bottom edge.
22:55Oh, the hearts are pounding.
22:57The wives are laughing,
22:57but they're shaking in their boots.
22:58I can tell you that right now.
23:04He's off the mark with a four.
23:15Swings it away.
23:16It's a cut shot.
23:17Even with the three men there,
23:18Waugh finds a way to hit a boundary.
23:23He's a bit short of 11,000 runs.
23:26Second to Alan Border.
23:27He's going to finish his career.
23:30One of three to make 10,000.
23:41Lynette in the blue top in the middle left.
23:44Simone Maughan on her left.
23:46Stephanie Slater on her right.
23:49He sweeps and brings it up with a boundary.
23:5250 Test Match 50s for Steve Waugh.
23:57Scott, wife, fans,
24:01and all the crowd on their feet.
24:07He's done it beautifully.
24:09The appreciation of the Prime Minister.
24:14He's gone for it.
24:15And he's gone almost a long, long way.
24:18Four.
24:21Seven off the over.
24:25Steve Waugh is having the dash now.
24:28And he's beaten the man at deep mid-wicket.
24:33Time isn't out of the question.
24:47Chance in the outfield.
24:48And it's been taken.
24:49So Steve Waugh is gone.
24:51But he's gone down,
24:53trying to score a century.
25:05The last few steps
25:07of a great career.
25:26And Australia have saved the match.
25:29The series finishes at one all.
25:31And India retained the border.
25:33Gavaska Trophy.
25:37Touching Tendorka there.
25:38A few words for Steve Waugh.
25:49It's been a long journey.
25:5018 years.
25:51I must have been.
25:52I was nervous the first time I played for Australia.
25:54I didn't think I'd play another Test Match.
25:55So once I got 13 and 5 in that first Test,
25:58I was happy with 18 runs.
25:59I didn't know that I'd play another Test Match.
26:00So to play 168, you'd have to say,
26:02is a massive bonus.
26:03So I'd like to thank the selectors
26:05for their patience
26:07and faith in my ability.
26:11Cricket Australia for their professionalism
26:13over the years.
26:15The spectators.
26:16It really has brought home
26:16that this is a people's game.
26:18I can't believe the amount of support
26:19I've had over the last couple of weeks.
26:21To each and every one of you,
26:22thank you very much for your support.
26:31I don't know whether this is a sad moment or not.
26:33I feel happy.
26:34I feel like I've achieved quite a bit in this game.
26:37I know this Australian side is a great side.
26:39I really feel privileged to have captained this side
26:41over the last four or five years.
26:42It's certainly made my job easier
26:44to have such a talented bunch of players.
26:47And the way the guys play the game,
26:48it really has been an honour
26:50to captain this Australian side.
26:51So thanks very much, guys, again.
27:02And I think I've said enough.
27:04It's time to get in the dressing room
27:05and have a few beers.
27:06But once again,
27:07thanks very much for your support.
27:12Now firmly established
27:14as one of the great modern-day rivalries,
27:16Australia conquered the final frontier
27:18when they travelled to India in 2004.
27:20With skipper Ricky Ponting injured,
27:23Michael Clarke scored a memorable 151 on debut in Bangalore
27:26and victory by a massive 342 runs in the third test
27:30gave them an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the series.
