No, we lost only the second match because of shitty decisions. First may have had some bad decisions, but I wouldn't put the match down to it.

Surely, they let us win! To diffuse the tension.

That is such a childish argument... what? did u you pull that conclusion out of your behind?

Aussies were on verge of World Record, second time... you think they will let us win and let their chance at world record go just like that? Get a grip man!!!
 
^^^ I think he was being sarcastic there. No one is that stupid and naive to think Aussies would let us win. Perhaps should have put in a winkey or smiley.

As for the win, it was a great achievement, no doubt. Noone is saying we're suddenly better than the Aussies, but we're arguably the 2nd best test nation now, considering some of our recent series. We just have to be a little more consistent and we can be breathing down Aussie's neck for no. 1.

Well... You can exclude buknor & benson for the first 14 test matches ;)...

Come on guys... If India plays with Bangladesh for a 7 Match one day series one can be sure that they can not win 7-0 from them... While you can easily say that about Australia... Thats where the difference lies...
 
Good fight back India. Its good to see justice prevail in the end (umpires changed, Bhajji back and India breaks Aussie's win record right in their home)
 
Some worthy words from the Australian press :

The Age:
UPON dismissing Stuart Clark to put an end to agricultural 73-run ninth-wicket partnership with Mitchell Johnson that threatened to steal ill-deserved victory for Australia, man-of-the-match Irfan Pathan cocked his hand to his ear as if to ask the 16,000-strong crowd: "Where's your cheering now?"

Here was India as rarely seen, not only with spoils, but flaunting them. It was triumphal, provocative even. Australia could scarcely complain; here was its own image. Perhaps this was what lay at the heart of the ructions in Sydney two weeks ago.

When it was all over, an Indian flag appeared in the middle of the WACA Ground and was planted there. Not even the late Sir Edmund Hillary in claiming Everest made more of a statement.

This one about Ponting : :rofl: :rofl:
Ponting was never at ease. He was bruised, he should have been lbw. Sharma put him in two minds, reluctant to play, knowing he must, and he was seemingly between them when he prodded at a ball that held its line and was caught at slip.

Curiously, Ponting made little effort to relieve Sharma's siege by rotating the strike. Mike Hussey looked more comfortable against Sharma, who had to bowl across the left-hander and so was less threatening to him. Perhaps Ponting believed that as the premier batsman, he had to solve the riddle himself, and that if Australia was to reach its improbable target, some of the runs would have to be made against Sharma. But even Don Bradman was known to take refuge at the non-striker's end if a bowler was giving him grief.

:bleh:

Looks like their media is lambasting them chaps!:P
 
^^ Which means that their media is not much better than ours. I mean these guys have been winning for the last 16 games and just one loss has the media criticizing them.

^Very true. The reason for that IMO is that (sometimes) our players are just not aggressive enough , Not that I can make that complaint with the perth test....the batsmen were always looking for runs and were putting the bad deliveries away more often than not....which is why we managed decent scores in both innings despite no huge hundreds from any batsman....on a track where the bowlers have assistance, one will ultimately get out one way or the other, what is important is to get as many runs as possible before getting out....
