Kolkata, Nov 18: India choked again and caved into world champions Australia to lose the final of the triangular series here tonight with a massive crowd of 125,000 stunned by a poor batting and fielding display by the hosts. On an indifferent track at the Eden Gardens, the Indian bowlers finally came into their own by restricting the formidable Australian batting line up to 235 for five despite the fielding lapses with V V S Laxman dropping as many as three sitters off some of the greatest one-day batsmen in the world --Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting. But the Indian batsmen, with the exception of skipper Rahul Dravid (49) and Sachin Tendulkar (44) could not overtake even this moderate total and handed over the TVS Cup to the world champions on a platter.
