Sourav Ganguly, whose wretched form with the bat has been a cause of
concern for a while, came good today. He smashed Shane Warne out of the
attack. Two sixes and nine boundaries flowed from his bat in making 74 runs
off 83 balls before he was caught at point by Ponting off a bouncer from
McGrath. The second wicket partnership between Ganguly and Laxman yielded
105 runs in just 20.3 overs.
