SPORT LD AUS 3 LAST

In the bowling department too, the Indians were largely
inconsistent with Ashish Nehra being the most impressive among
them.

For the visitors, the batsman who was consistency
personified was vice-captain Michael Hussey who tallied 313
runs and averaging over 100 in the series and with a strike
rate of 90-plus.
Shane Watson too showed his prowess with either bat or
ball or with both barring the odd occasion to play a key role
in the triumph while Ricky Ponting, true to his style, led
from the front.
The visiting bowling attack, that has earned accolades
from Ponting, missed the services of regulars Brett Lee and
James Hopes who picked up injuries in the series opener at
Vadodara and went back to Australia.
Peter Siddle led the attack with aplomb in the absence of
Lee and the poor form of Mitchell Johnson before he too got
injured and then it was rookie left-arm pacer Doug Bollinger
who took up the lead role with alacrity to lead Australia to a
six-wicket victory in the series-deciding match in Guwahati.
