SK Flashback: When MS Dhoni deposited Clint McKay into the stands to stun Australia

Solid partnerships setting the platform

For a healthy total in ODIs, partnerships are the building blocks and Australia had quite a few of them in their innings. Within the initial 20 overs, India had already got Australia on the mat with the top three back to the hut.

With the score at 81/3, Forrest and David Hussey took charge and strung together a stand of 98 in 17.4 overs. It required a stunner in the outfield by Vinay Kumar to get rid of the stand. David Hussey carried on, now with Daniel Christian, to register another 50 run stand for the Kangaroos.

Helped by a cameo from Matthew Wade, Australia, eventually, set India a target of 270 in their allotted quota of 50 overs.
