India start well after Hussey’’s stubborn century
BANGALORE: India made a spirited reply to Australia’’s 430 in the first Test here on Friday, reaching 68 without loss in their first innings by the close of the second day’’s play.Openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir negotiated a tricky 18.1 overs before heavy rain brought an early end to the day’’s play that was marked by a solid century from the ever-reliable Michael Hussey. The consistent left-hander shored up Australia’’s first innings with a gritty 146 before he was last man out soon after tea. Sehwag began in his typical aggressive style, smashing seven boundaries against the four-man Australian pace attack on the way to 43 not out. His Delhi teammate Gambhir was unbeaten on 20. India will resume on Saturday looking to build a sizeable total of their own on a wicket that is still batsman-friendly but could keep low later in the match. Hussey, who averages an astonishing 70.60 in 26 matches after making his Test debut three years ago aged 30, has already scored nine hundreds and as many half-centuries in his remarkable career. Entering the fray just before tea on the first day, Hussey batted for seven hours, hitting 15 boundaries and a six to frustrate India’’s hopes of terminating the innings early.Hussey said the team’’s total had given the tourists a chance to put the Indians under pressure.
