Tendulkar returns to form with a double-century, playing an innings which is quite distinct from any of his earlier efforts. After being caught driving outside off stump several times prior to this Test, here in a monk-like fashion, he abstains from any loose driving and collects his runs mainly on the on side. With Laxman in sublime form at the other end, Tendulkar chooses to hang on his back foot and slowly works his way to his then highest Test score. It doesn't give India victory, though, as Steve Waugh, playing his last Test, hangs on to enable Australia draw the game.
