Yups, Its 10/10 …
Here I am not giving 10/10 marks to Indian performance in the series…I am not giving 10/10 to their historical victory …..I am not giving 10/10 to double ton of Gambhir or Lax, Highest test score of Sachin or 300 wckt feat of Bhajji ….
Its record of last 13 years of India Vs Australia in test matches which is 10/10.
Lets go back to history. It was in 1995 when Aussies defeated West Indies and they emerged as a dominant power in international cricket. After winning world cups in 1999, 2003, 2007 Australians were Kings in cricket field. Be it Test cricket or One day internationals they were unbeatable everywhere and all conditions. It was twice in this period that Australia won 16 test matches in a row and irony is both the times they lost 17th test match to India , once in 2001 in Eden Garden and Once in 2008 in Perth. India was the only team which was difficult for Australia even at the time when they were at their peak.
Be it Sachin vs Warne or Ponting vs Bhajji ….Indians were ahead. It was proved in historical test match of Eden Garden in 2001 when after follow on India defeated Australia ( it happened only thrice in test history ) and won the series after that.
In last 13 years England was second toughest team for Australia , and they lost 7 matches to England . West Indies being third toughest and they lost 6 matches to West Indies .
For India ..It was a perfect 10/10. India won 10 and Aussies also won 10, till Nagpur test today. This is the record of the period when Australians were most dominant side of international cricket ever.
It reminds me about competition of Nadal and Federer in tennis. Yups …what a cricket …what a competition.
Forget Indian Vs Pakistan. Its India Vs Australia now and its perfect 10/10.
Cheers for Team India !!! Cheers for Captain Dhoni for winning all his test matches under captaincy ( Total 3 )
Best wishes to Ganguly for future ahead. Yups we will be lucky to see him playing soon. IPL is still there. C u Dada!!!
