"We were happy we got 300 runs it was a par score. We wanted to take a couple of wickets with the new ball to reduce the pressure on the spinners. But that did not happen," he said after the match.

"The first bowlers need to do well in such situations so that spinners could chip in later. The bowlers did not do their job. A couple of wickets and couple of good overs matter here," he added.

Asked India did have a chance to win after Tillakaratne Dilshan, who hit 123, was out, Dhoni said, "When Dilshan was out at that time we need to take wickets. But that did not happen. There were some fielding mistakes also. The kind of start we got while batting I think we could have scored 20 runs more. That could have put more pressure on the Lankans," said Dhoni.

Aussies win third Test controversially by 35 runs

Perth, Dec. 20: Australia won the Frank Worrell Trophy 2-0 after claiming the final West Indies scalp in Perth today in controversial circumstances.
Windies fast bowler Kemar Roach was ruled caught behind off Doug Bollinger by umpire Billy Bowden.

Despite hot-spot technology showing no mark on the edge of Roach''s bat, and replays inconclusive, referral umpire Assad Rauf stuck with Bowden''s original decision as the Windies were dismissed for 323 runs, 36 short of victory on the fifth day at the WACA.

Tailenders Roach and Gavin Tonge bravely attempted to chase down the 51 runs required for victory this morning as they managed 44 runs for the last wicket, but their stand was broken four overs in, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

A cricinfo report said that Australia needed 21 balls on the last day to win the final Test. The result was virtually assured with the hosts needing a wicket and it came when Roach was ruled caught behind via an umpiring review.

Roach (17) and Tonge (23 not out) started the last day chasing 51 to reach the victory target of 359 after putting on 29 from 30 balls on the fourth evening. Roach played and missed a couple of times in Shane Watson''s first over before Bollinger was taken for five runs by the aggressive Tonge. Tonge then inside-edged Watson for four and drove over mid-off for two before the fielding mood changed when Roach sliced a four over gully.

The game will be remembered mostly for the Man of the Match Chris Gayle''s 70-ball century on the second day, his second hundred of a series which started with a three-day loss but quickly became competitive.

Australian all-rounder Shane Watson was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for his aggressive celebration of Chris Gayle''s wicket.

3rd Test Match, Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

India won by an innings and 24 runs

LIVE STREAMING LINK

Mumbai, Dec 5 Indian bowlers picked up four wickets in the post lunch session on the fourth day to spoil Sri Lanka's hopes of saving the third and the final cricket Test here Saturday.
At tea, Sri Lanka were struggling at 144 for five in the second innings with skipper Kumar Sangakkara batting on an unbeaten 50.
Sri Lanka are still trailing by 189 runs and with five wickets in hand only a miracle can now help them to save the game at the Brabourne Stadium. India declared their first innings at 726 for nine in reply to Sri Lanka's 393.
Resuming at the overnight score of 11 without loss, and 322 runs behind, Sri Lanka lost five wickets, four in the second session, for just 133 runs as Indian bowlers tightened the noose around them. Barring opener Tharanga Pranavitana (54) and Sangakkara none of the Sri Lankan batsmen offered any resistance and had to blame themselves for the situation.
Zaheer Khan was the best of the lot, picking up two wickets while Sreesanth, Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha got a wicket apiece.

Sri Lankan openers Parnavitana and Tillekaratne Dilshan (16) adopted a cautious approach. But for the second time in the match, Dilshan fell to off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. Dilshan didn't offer a shot as the ball hit his pad and umpire Daryl Harper judged him out. TV replays showed the ball was missing leg stump.
Paranavitana (54) batted fluently Sangakkara for their 90-run partnership for the second wicket. But Sreesanth produced a brilliant late swinging delivery to get rid of Parnavitana triggering a mini collapse.

Mahela Jayawardene (12), Thilan Samarawera and Angelo Matthews (5) departed within a space of 25 runs denting Sri Lanka's chances of avoiding an innings defeat.
India lead the series 1-0 and a win here will propel them to the top spot in Test rankings. The historic Brabourne Stadium is hosting its first Test match in 36 years.

It's been another entertaining day of Test cricket at Adelaide which started with the strong fight put up by the West Indies lower order batsmen to push them past the 450 run mark. But it was all Australia from that point on as they piled on the runs. Shane Watson and Simon Katich remained unbeaten, having shared a 174 run opening stand.

Kumara Sanggakara put up his best show with the bat to score his first Test century in India but sadly even that seems to be not enough to help Sri Lanka avoid defeat in the final Test in Mumbai. The visitors have lost 6 wickets for 274 runs and still trail by 59 runs. The Indians bowled superbly in the second and third session to take five wickets. Sangakkara played a fighting knock and is unbeaten on 133 with Nuwan Kulasekara on 9 off 45 balls. The middle order once again failed pushing Sri Lanka on the back foot. At one stage it even looked like India finishing the game with an innings to spare. However, that might not be the case as the duo has put up a good fight

Bravo, Chanderpaul lift Windies to 336 for six in Adelaide test

Adelaide (Australia): New South Wales fast bowler Doug Bollinger will open the bowling for the Australians in the second Test against the West Indies at Adelaide Oval commencing here from Friday.West Indies middle order batsmen Dwayne Bravo and Shivnarine Chanderpaul steered their team to a respectable total on the opening day of the second Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval.

Live Cricket

Australia won the Test after losing the previous two to fail in a home series for the first time in 17 years, but the swing and consistency of Hilfenhaus was preferred in South Africa and England.

Bollinger did not even make the Ashes squad following the return of Stuart Clark and Lee from injury but with Lee injured again, the 28-year-old''s recent irresistible form has earned him the nod ahead of Clark, 34.

"The things we all love about Doug are his energy and enthusiasm to want to bowl," Ponting said.

"He just loves bowling. He keeps things really simple, which was the beauty about him in India. When we had our backs to the wall, he came in off not a great deal of preparation and just charged in and bowled well," Ponting added.
