2004 India vs Australia 4th Test @Mumbai | B.Gavaskar Trophy | India won by 13 runs in a Thriller.
At Mumbai, November 3, 4, 5, 2004. India won by 13 runs. Toss: India. Test debuts: G. Gambhir, K. D. Karthik; N. M. Hauritz.
India won a thrilling match by a wafer-thin margin to release some of the pressure that had been building on them, though the circumstances surrounding their victory detracted from the celebrations. It was achieved on a pitch which turned square from the start and saw 20 wickets fall on the third and final day after 18 had tumbled on the second. "The wicket was no way near to being Test standard," said Ponting, Australia's returning captain. "Forty wickets in two days is almost unheard of. It's been a fantastic series but this has left a sour taste." Even some Indian players agreed.
India, desperate, shook up their personnel. The left-handed opening bat Gautam Gambhir from Delhi and the Tamil Nadu wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik came in for their Test debuts in place of Chopra and Patel, who had both lost form and all confidence. Harbhajan returned for Agarkar. Meanwhile, Australia had to do without Warne, who broke his right thumb batting in the nets on the eve of the match. MacGill, the experienced leg-spinner, had been on stand-by for Warne but the lateness of the injury made his call-up impossible. Australia's planning had been meticulous but here, without a seasoned back-up slow bowler, they were exposed. Nathan Hauritz, a tyro off-spinner, played in Warne's place and the switch almost certainly cost them the match. Hauritz bowled tidily, but it was not enough on a pitch so conducive to the spinner's art that the part-timer Clarke took six wickets for nine runs with his slow left-armers.
Ponting returned after missing the first three games through injury. He was anxious to make a belated mark on the series, and also to atone for his wretched experience on his previous tour, when he scored just 17 runs in five innings. It was not to be, and he even lost the toss, breaking Gilchrist's winning sequence. Australia, set 107 to win, were bowled out for 93. As at Headingley in 1981 or Sydney in 1993-94 - to name only the two most memorable examples - a minuscule fourth-innings target was beyond them.
Play had not got under way until 2 p.m. on the first day and lasted just four overs before it was delayed again until 4.30, when they returned for another half hour. Rain had been the problem but they ultimately came off because of the unevenness of the floodlighting, and the difficulties the batsmen had in picking up the red ball in the damp gloom.
