Australia has exceeded all public expectations on this tour of India, however, it's unfortunate that this series may be remembered for their horrid day three collapse in the fourth Test in Dharamsala.

India head into day four requiring just 87 runs to win with all 10 wickets in hand after only five Australian batsman managed to reach double figures in their second innings as the tourists were bowled out for 137, setting India a target of just 106 to win.

After Ravindra Jadeja (63) and Wriddhiman Saha (31) combined to give India a 32-run lead in the first innings, Australia lost Warner, Renshaw and Smith all before ensuring India would bat again.

Victorian's Peter Handscomb and Glenn Maxwell combined to steady the ship somewhat in the middle session before Handscomb was undone courtesy of a sublime catch at first slip by stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane.

Maxwell was the only Australian batsman to look comfortable in the middle on Monday - something that you probably did not think you would hear this series - as he top scored with 45, before Ravi Ashwin trapped him infront.

Matthew Wade battled with Pat Cummins but runs were hard to come by for the pair. Cummins departed for 12 off 49 deliveries with the remainder of the tail failing to provide support for Wade, as Australia were bundled out for 137 in just under 54 overs.

Today, Australia have the unenviable task of taking 10 wickets for under 87 runs to win the series.

The pitch continues to play well - better than any other day four pitch we have seen this series - although Umesh Yadav proved that there remains a bit of bounce in the deck if the Australian bowlers are good enough to expose that.

The Aussies will need a little more than just luck and bounce to produce a miracle in the Himalayas.

Maybe Michael Clarke can jump out of the commentary box and produce another 6/9?
That could be our only hope.
