ABC Sport - Cricket - Hayden, Ponting lead Aussie recovery

A much better day for the Aussies.

"In-form batsmen Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting both hammered centuries as Australia raced to 3 for 317 at stumps, 49 runs behind India's first innings total after two days of the third Test at the MCG. Needing to win to have any chance of snaffling the Border-Gavaskar trophy from the tourists' grasp, Australia bowled India out for 366 earlier in the day in a fightback of admirable proportions. The bowlers stepped up with 6 for 16 as India collapsed from their lofty overnight perch of 4 for 329, and then Hayden (136) and Ponting (125 not out) rammed home the advantage. Damien Martyn (7 not out) will resume on day three with Ponting. Hayden and Ponting shared in a 234-run stand for the second wicket, after the early dismissal of Justin Langer (14) had the world champions on the back foot." [more]

FOX SPORTS | India all out for 366 (December 27, 2003)

"INDIA has been dismissed for 366 in its first innings on day two of the third cricket Test against Australia at the MCG."

A bit of a collapse really - from 329/4 overnight, they lost 6 wickets for 37 runs.
