Australia paceman Peter Siddle deflated a nation of a billion people when he bowled Sachin Tendulkar for 73, three balls before stumps on the second day of the first test against India on Tuesday.
With Tendulkar moving effortlessly to the brink of his 100th international century, Siddle sent a stinging full-pitched delivery that swung in late and bowled the 38-year-old through the gate to break a 117-run partnership with Rahul Dravid.
Ishant Sharma came in as nightwatchman and survived the tense last balls to see India through to 214 for three at the close of play in response to Australia's first innings 333 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
