Aus vs Ind, 2nd Test, Melbourne 1999 - Aus 1st innings

India started brilliantly thanks to Javagal Srinath, having Australia at 2/28, however some good batting from Slater, Ricky Ponting and the Waugh brothers - as well as some annoying rain delays - allowed the Australians to recover. A good spell from Ajit Agarkar saw them slump again to 5/197 but Ponting, Gilchrist, Lee and Fleming all chimed in and got the home side to 405. Srinath finished with four wickets and Agarkar three. This was the debut Test for Brett Lee and Hriskikesh Kanitkar.

Did you get these highlights from the DVD 'The Streak'?

[TheThirdUmpire]

No, they come from a VHS tape with highlights of 99/00. I think it's called "Summer of Glory". But this game would be on "The Streak" because it was part of "the streak" :)

Just wondering, how long are the actual highlights unedited?

[TheThirdUmpire]

The length of these ones are as posted, I don't think I've cut any actual highlights out. Only the mindless waffling from Tony Greig :-)
