NEW DELHI (Reuter): Australia crumbled from 81 for one to 182 all out against India's spinners on a dry and cracked pitch on the first day of the one-off test yesterday.

Leg-spinner Anil Kumble snapped up four for 63, left-arm spinner Sunil Joshi captured two for 36 and Aashish Kapoor took two for 30 with his off-breaks.

Paceman Venkatesh Prasad and a run out accounted for the other two wickets after Australia won the toss on a surface that was expected to aid the slow bowlers.
