@@nightcrawler8534 True. I still remember that Hyderabad ODI against Aussies that we lost despite Tendulkar's marathon 175. 😔

[@veenadwivedi6289]

Haha Naveen you lack some knowledge. The broadcasting rights of Australian matches in India are with Sony networks for quite a bit time. Though Sony also rarely shows these matches.

I Love Ishants bowling action♥️ One of best Test spell in history of cricket

[@RATsClasses]

Heart warming clips. Thank you Cricket Australia.

[@Shajahanhajauploads]

Seriously how beautyfully he bowled against The greatest Ponting, look the slip catch and the ball was flying very smoothly to Rahul Dravid .

[@smabeinghuman9236]

Classic commentary by Bill Lawry makes this wicket even more special..

[@rajeshkadupukotla1285]

The glimpse of sachin, kumble, dravid, laxman... Wah.. the legends..

Very Underrated! He is Brilliant in Real Cricket "Tests" !

That's the beauty of words that used to captivate you into the Aussie summer.. Absolute gold from Bill Lawry.. Channel 9 classic ❤

Ishant bowling deadly spells at 19. Wow ❣️

[@SinghCharan]

Remember watching this live. That is why we love test cricket, nothing beats this.......

[@pinks29]

Tony Greig, Bill Lawry, Mark Richardson and Ian Chappell...and before that Richie Benaud...they turned these kind of moments into memories...superb spell...watched it live...one of the finest test...Ishant got ponting in both innings...and Sehwag bowled Gilly round his legs in second innings...missing such cricket these days...!!!!

Ponting was such a great batsman, amazing to watch.. - Nice spell by Ishant Sharma by the way....!
