Sachin spoils the party (FoxNews)
STEVE Waugh's dream of wresting back the Border-Gavaskar Trophy vanished
before the disbelieving eyes of his hometown crowd yesterday. Waugh's
farewell SCG party turned into a wake as unwanted guests Sachin Tendulkar and
V.V.S. Laxman ripped open the series-deciding fourth Test with a brutal
fourth-wicket stand of 353 - the third-highest partnership against Australia
in 126 years of Test history.

Sydney opera, silences critics (TOI)
Sachin Tendulkar silenced his critics with a splendid double century and his
highest Test score of 220 as India batted Australia out of the Sydney Test on
Day 2 on Saturday.
