Michael Slater collects a boundary for Australia

"We have no-one to blame but ourselves," said Waugh.

He is hoping to lead Australia to their first win in India since 1969-70 but they only have two days to regroup before the start of the deciding Test at Chennai.

"The team will have to go back to the drawing board and see where we went wrong. The series is wide open," Waugh conceded.

"It is very disappointing. No-one is talking in the dressing room."

Indian supporters set off firecrackers when last man Glenn McGrath was lbw to Harbhajan Singh with just five overs left in the match.

"This was the greatest Test I have played in," said Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, who was leading the side in a Test for the first time in his home city.

"To come back and win after being asked to follow on is what dreams are made of. This Test will do Indian cricket a lot of good."

Batsman Vangipurappu Laxman was named man of the match for his innings of 281, which turned the game in India's favour.

His reaction was, however, modest.

"The team cause was most important for me. I just had to hang in there and play a long innings. I'm just glad that my innings helped."
