Australia's [Images] bowlers compensated for their batsmen's failure by coming up with an impressive performance to bundle out the RCA Centre of Excellence team for a paltry 122 in the two-day practice game which ended in a draw on the second day in Jaipur [Images] on Sunday.

The visitors, who were all out for 218 on Saturday, decided to end the match at the fall of the last RCA wicket, an hour after the lunch interval.

The visitors then had a practice session.

Ricky Ponting's [Images] team took just 52.3 overs to bundle out the home team, with rookie pacer Dough Bollinger and inexperienced spinner Jason Krezja returning three for nine and three for 35 respectively.

Strike bowler Brett Lee [Images] also bowled beautifully to dismiss danger man and home team captain Venugopal Rao and return with two for 17.

Young fast bowler Peter Siddle and his senior Stuart Clark took one wicket each.

Siddle broke the 51-plus run third-wicket partnership between Venugopal and Khoda --- both former India ODI players -- the only notable partnership of the team in the match.

Left arm fast bowler Mitchell Johnson was wicket-less in his eight overs.
