Autralia set for a series clean sweep
ADELAIDE: India slid toward another embarassing innings defeat as its top order failed again on Friday, putting Australia just four wickets away from winning the fourth test and completing a series sweep.
At stumps on the fourth day, India had slumped to 166-6 chasing a 500-run victory target.
Australia claimed two wickets just before stumps, removing the last of the specialist batsmen, V.V.S. Laxman and first-innings century maker Virat Kohli to a brilliant run out.
Australia declared its second innings on 167-5 shortly after lunch, after having established a 332-run lead on first innings.
