Australia claims dramatic final-hour victory against India in 4th Test

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — Australia took seven wickets in the final session of the final day to claim a thrilling 184-run victory in front of a record test crowd Monday in the fourth test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. “It’s probably the best test match I’ve been involved in,” said man-of-the-match Cummins, who took 3-28 off 18 overs Monday for six wickets in the match, plus playing valuable innings of 49 and 41 at No.8. India lost three wickets for nine runs as Scott Boland removed Ravindra Jadeja caught behind and first-innings century-maker Nitish Kumar Reddy edged to slip off the bowling of spinner Lyon. But with a fifth test starting Friday and the possibility that India could still win in Sydney and draw the series 2-2 to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Cummins said there was little time for celebrations. It’s a mix of happiness and rest for the next three days.” A crowd of 74,362 for Monday’s fifth day of play lifted the total attendance to 373,691, beating the previous record for a Melbourne test match of 350,534 in the 1936-37 Ashes series.
