Hauritz can't believe it

Dravid urges his batsmen to deliver now

Off-spinner Nathan Hauritz could hardly believe his eyes at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Nor could he believe his luck.
"I've never seen a wicket on which the ball turns so much, even on television," Hauritz told reporters after taking three wickets for 16 on his Australia debut.
"There was big turn out there."
Hauritz, who played instead of the injured Shane Warne, struck with his third ball in Test cricket as India collapsed to 104 all out in their first innings.
Conditions in Mumbai were in sharp contrast to anything Hauritz had encountered back home, with the ball skidding and turning sharply off a length.
On Australia's quick pitches, spinners rely more on bounce than
turn to surprise batsmen.
There was another surprise in store for Hauritz in the evening, when skipper Ricky Ponting asked him to share the new ball in India’s second innings.
"I would have never thought I’d open the bowling for Australia in my first Test match, that too with someone like Jason Gillespie tearing in from the other end," he said.
India, who conceded a 99-run first innings lead, were five without loss after the second day.
Hauritz, 23, said his first wicket had helped calm his nerves.
The Queenslander removed Anil Kumble, caught at mid-off as the batsman hit out.
Fie then dismissed Harbhajan Singh, caught at bad-pad, and had Murali Kartik glove to wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist
"I got a lot of confidence after picking up the early wicket It's great to get three spinners out on a turning track in India. That’s a special
feeling."
Ponting will rely on Hauritz to make an even deeper mark on Friday as the pitch deteriorates.
Stand-in India captain Rahul Dravid on the other hand has called on his batsmen to make amends for some dire first-innings batting.
Dravid said: "This is not an easy wicket to bat on but it all boils down to how we bat tomorrow.
"Now that Kumble and Kartik have got us into the game it's a chance to make amends for the first innings.”
India are already 2-0 down in the series and are in desperate need of a moral-boostingvictory.
They have been let down in the earlier games by some poor batting.
And Dravid added: "It’s the turn of the batsmen to deliver and hopefully we can achieve that on Friday."
Gillespie, who helped launched India's batting collapse with four first innings wickets, backed his team to continue their dominance.
He said: "We're still ahead 94 runs and hopefully we can use the new ball well and get a few early wickets.
"By the time they reach our target, we hope to have a few of their batsmen back in the shed.
"The wicket is very interesting. The key for a fast bowler here is to bang the ball into the track and see what happens.”
