As anticipated, India grimly fight to 'live another day;

Below are the two links in this blog yesterday and on day three, and few of the predictions seem to be coming true.

On Friday evening (Day three), we had written in our piece ‘’India leading by THREE HUNDRED RUNS at Sydney’’ that despite a magnificent performance and a lead of 69, India could still be under pressure in the final two sessions of this test.

That precisely seems to be happening as India will be desperately fighting to save the test in the final two sessions.

And then the second, soon after the match on Saturday, rebutted the notion that India still had a chance as Australia had shown by accepting light that they would like India to do all the chasing and leave a next to impossible target for them to chase.

At this stage, we can just hope that India will live to fight another day. Despite Jaffer's early dismissal once again, Mark Taylor believes that India should be able to save this test though Australia will certainly press hard.

No team in this series has collapsed in just two sessions and light could also be an issue later in the day. So, India have a good chance of survival and that will once again liven up the series.
