Once again, India proved to be a spoke on the wheels of win for Australia. Their dream of 17 successive success had a severe blow at WACA. The Australian media predicted a cake-walk for Australians in the same venue by boasting off of the bounce. Alas! It bounced back or boomeranged!
The irony is, Indians should have gone 2-1 ahead in this series but for the sabotage of Steve Bucknor and Benson in collaboration with Australian players. The pressure of 16 successive wins had gone to their head and they simply lost their balance during the match at Sydney. Let us not discuss that here as it was discussed more than it required in the past.
This win is a real treat to all Indians and cricket lovers across the globe. Indians always remained a thorn in the flesh of Australia since a decade when they lost to us at Eden Gardens, a win crafted by Laxman and Dravid.
However, this win is sweet here because; we cannot single out a contribution for the win. If Viru gave the confidence to middle-order batsmen, Rahul, Sachin and Laxman made it easy. The contribution of runs from bowlers also helped us. RP Singh who did not last a ball in the last match (it is a pity that we lost 3 wickets in a span of 5 balls and our tail could not last 12 balls), chipped in with useful contribution.
Indian bowlers always performed well abroad and if the pitch aided, they excelled and this match is no exception. Good that India won after the hype it created after the last match and this win would save every word of BCCI.
Congrats Anil, keep up the good work! Allow this feel to sink in. Let us win in Adelaide also and square the series! Drop Jaffer & Dhoni, pick Dinesh and Bhajji that would balance the team’s proportion!
