  3rd Test match (18 Mar - 22 Mar)

For a change it wasn't Slater who got out first. It took a stupendous catch by Zaheer Khan to dismiss Matthew Hayden cheaply for the first time in this series. Hayden made 35 runs and was looking good for another big one. The first wicket partnership yielded 82 runs for the Aussies. Hayden heaved one from Kulkarni to the mid-wicket fence and Zaheer Khan ran in and took the catch a few inches above the ground. If catches win matches, this one will be remembered for a long time to come. A lot of credit goes to the unsung heroes John Wright (Coach) and Andrew Leipus (Trainer/Physio) in making such feats on the field possible.
