At the end of the fourth day’s play of the ICC Test Championship, billed ”The Ultimate Test’, India was 164-3. They need a further 280 runs on the final day, for them to be crowned 2nd ICC Cricket Test Champions, Likewise Australia must capture an additional 6 wickets to win US $1.6 million and the winner’s Trophy. After 4 days the contest has lived up to expectations, the spectators are thrilled with the standard of play on both sides. At the wicket are two players who have each scored over 5000 test runs and have big tons on their way to achieve these landmarks.
Earlier today Australia declared after losing the wickets of Cameron Green for 25, Starc for 41 and Cummins for 5, with the total on 270/8. Setting India 444 for victory. India lost Gill when he was controversially given out caught by Green, the DRS review TV Umpires with the help of the TV Cameras ruled the catch clean. To the naked eyes it appears as if Green had grassed the catch low down to his left. They thought otherwise. Obviously, some of the spectators were unhappy. The fifth day promises to be another thriller. Earlier I wrote that Australia has the edge. but don’t count out India. Let us await the outcome.
