Australia crush India by 298 runs to sweep series

Australia crush India


Australia took India's last four wickets on Saturday morning to crush the tourists by 298 runs in the fourth test and record a 4-0 series sweep.

India had resumed on 166 for six in their second innings chasing an improbable 500 runs for victory but their tail-end batsman lasted just 58 minutes on a hot and sunny fifth morning of the match.

Australian paceman Peter Siddle, who took 5-49 in India's first innings, was named Man-of-the-Match, while the Man-of-the-Series was his captain Michael Clarke, who hit triple and double centuries in the series.
