Thank you, TEAM INDIA…


For we have waited for decades.. We have been dreaming about this, the ultimate humiliation for the Aussies in the hands of our cricket team. In the second half of 90s, we were enthralled by the GOD, Tendulkar, when he gave night mares to the likes of Warne, McGrath, Gillespie etc. We cherish the times when Dada made the Aussies wait for the Indians in the field, when Dravid, Laxman and Bhajji vanquished them at the Eden Gardens. But every time we were routed down under, a billion hearts bled. Now Dhoni’s team has done the unthinkable by white washing the test series for Border-Gavaskar trophy.

Admittedly, this Australian team is the weakest I have ever seen. The pitches were Indian, as you should expect when you come here. The Delhi pitch was a nasty surprise for the batsmen. However, I enjoyed the rare sight of bowlers calling the shots on a cricket pitch, for a change.

Dhoni has put in place a good bunch of youngsters, so much so that we didn’t miss the belligerent Viru and elegant Gambhir. After a dismal start to 2013, Team India has come back on track….
