Taking out of India's hand!

Australia are looking for a 200-run innings lead over India in the third cricket Test to turn around the series which has been running away from them.
Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting provided the world's best team with a launch pad for a huge first-innings total with a 234-run second-wicket stand as the Australians went to stumps on the second day here Saturday at 317 for three within 49 runs of India's first-innings 366.
"It was important at this stage of the game to get a big total on the board and now we have a great launching pad into doing that," Hayden said.
"In Adelaide it was an unfortunate second innings for us (196 off 56.2 overs), we've certainly managed to put that behind us and now we're looking forward to the position where we can get a couple hundred lead perhaps.
"We've got a lot of work to do before we win this game but we're back in it."
Hayden relished the grand stage of the Melbourne Cricket Ground to produce the goods in what has become another stellar scoring year he has accumulated 1,259 runs in 2003, third in the world behind Ponting's unfinished 1,335 runs and West Indian Brian Lara's 1,333.
"It's certainly an awesome place to play your cricket," Hayden said of playing at the 70,000-capacity MCG for the traditional Boxing Day Test.
"It's one of those stages that seems to be very rewarding to get runs on.
"You have to work very hard early in your innings and then the game can open up and before you know it you're getting twos and threes and then boundaries it's a very rewarding place to play."
In making 136 the muscular lefthander became the first player to score centuries in three consecutive Boxing Day Tests after making 138 against South Africa two years ago and 102 against England last year.
The great Don Bradman is the only other player to have scored
MCG centuries in three straight years from 1930-31 to 1932-33 an era when Tests at the MCG were played over the new year rather than from Boxing Day.
Hayden believes the 'worm has turned' for Australia after India scored a stunning come-from-behind win in the second Adelaide Test and dominated the opening day of the Boxing Day Test here going to stumps at 329 for four.
"We had a few disappointing chances in the field which we could perhaps have capitalised on, but we're now doing enough of the right things to give ourselves a chance on a very good wicket, probably one of the better batting wickets we've seen here," he said.
"We're here to win this Test match, we've shown some really good character in the last four sessions, suddenly that cat we stepped on in the first three sessions of play seems to have scurried away and maybe the momentum is starting to shift back into Australia's favour."
"It was a very satisfying day for us all round," added Ponting. "We made it go our way with the ball and we've batted really well."
