Adelaide: India
suffered another 0-4 whitewash in seven months, losing the fourth
and final Test against Australia by a massive 298 runs at the
Adelaide Oval here Saturday.
The defeat was very much on the cards as chasing a world-record
target of 500 runs India's second innings folded up for 201 runs
in 58 minutes shortly before the lunch break on the final day.
It was also India's eighth successive overseas Test loss. India
were also whitewashed during their tour of England last year.
Australia declared their first innings at 604 for seven and second
at 167 for six to take a huge 499 runs lead. India were bowled out
for 272 runs in the first innings after maiden Test hundred by
Virat Kohli (116), who remained the only Indian centurion in the
series.
Going into the fifth day, India were struggling at 166 for six and
they lasted just 13.4 overs in the day.
Ryan Harris (3/41) struck in the third over of the day getting
Ishant Sharma (2) caught behind.
In the next over, Peter Siddle removed the other overnight batsman
Wriddhiman Saha (3) in a similar fashion - caught behind by Brad
Haddin.
Ravichandran Ashwin (15 not out) and Zaheer Khan (15) offered some
late resistance that was ended by Ben Hilfenhaus, who dismissed
Zaheer caught at the short-cover by David Warner.
Local boy Nathan Lyon, who was preparing pitches at the Adelaide
Oval three years back, rightfully wrapped up the proceedings by
picking up the last wicket of Umesh Yadav, caught behind.
Off-spinner Lyon, making his Test debut at his home ground, picked
up four for 63 in the second innings, including Virender Sehwag
(62), Sachin Tendulkar (13) and V.V.S. Laxman (35). Lyon finished
with a match haul of five for 111.
But the Man of the Match was Peter Siddle, who bagged five for 49
in the first innings. He finished with match figures of six for
96.
Australian captain Michael Clarke, who scored 626 runs, including
a triple hundred and a double ton, at an average of 125.2, won the
player of the series award.
