Published Date:

An unbeaten century from former Northamptonshire captain Michael Hussey and a 96-run stand for the last wicket with Stuart Clark saved the Australians the ignominy of having to follow-on against Board President's XI.
However, Ricky Ponting's side remain firmly on the backfoot on the third day of the warm-up match on their tour of India.
Hussey made 126 and was the last man left standing when the Australians were bowled out for 314 runs, leaving them 141 runs behind after the first innings.
By close of play, the President's XI extended the lead to 251, closing the day on 110 for two.
Opener Wasim Jaffer was batting four short of a half-century while Yuvraj Singh batting on 37.
Piyush Chawla revealed the Australians' susceptibility to spin as he claimed five for 89 from 40 overs.
