1999-00 Australia vs India, 2nd Test @Melbourne | Border Gavaskar Trophy | Brett Lee Debut.
At Melbourne, December 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Australia won by 180 runs. Toss: India. Test debuts: B. Lee; H. H. Kanitkar.
Australia's elation at winning this Test, and with it the series, was all the greater for the contribution of their new recruit, Brett Lee, who took seven wickets in the match, including five for 47 in the first innings. Lee for Kasprowicz was the only change from the eleven that won the First Test, while India left out Gandhi, clearly shell-shocked, promoted Laxman to open in his place, and took aboard the left-handed Hrishikesh Kanitkar to bat in the middle order.
India's fast bowlers were not disciplined enough to capitalise on first use of a bouncy pitch which, having sweated under the covers, also provided movement off the seam. Slater was in splendid touch and, with Mark Waugh patient in the absence of form, Australia rallied from a poor start to share the honours of a rain-shortened first day. Play had not got under way until the afternoon. Srinath and Agarkar were accurate and hostile in later spells, but by then Slater and Waugh were well entrenched.
There were further interruptions for rain on the second day. India's bowlers, not allowing for the fact that the ball was in middle age and less resilient, pitched too short and again paid a highprice for the two wickets captured. Slater hooked a wide ball high and straight to long leg - his eighth Test dismissal in the 90s - while misjudgment of width in square-cutting toppled Steve Waugh. Bad light, immediately followed by a thunderstorm, ended play early, but the Delegates Room at the MCG was lit till late as the referee, Ranjan Madugalle, conducted a lengthy hearing on Venkatesh Prasad's conduct after dismissing Slater. He had pumped the air with upturned fists in the batsman's face as he departed, and it earned him a heavy fine plus a suspension held in abeyance.
When Australia resumed at 332 for five on the third day, India's hopes of a win were already distant. By the close, the spectre of defeat was staring at them.
