It's pretty depressing from an Indian fan's point of view to see how good Australia really is. With a second-string team, they still manage to walk all over the opposition. Even their less-hyped batsmen like Katich and Martyn are classy in both technique and temperament. They do not miss batsmen of the calibre of Adam Gilcrhrist at all because someone else who is equally good takes their place. And their bowling is as spectacular as their batting. We saw this new kid Mitchell Johnson emerging from nowhere and savaging the famed Indian top-order. There's no hope of anyone being better than the Aussies for a long time to come. How does a nation of 20 million people produce such fantastic sportsmen in so many different sports? It's time for Indian supporters to become Aussie fans, that way team you support wins most of the time.

Australian play unfair cricket

For Mr. Ricky Ponting , (SELF BELEIVING in playing a unfair can be understood. No offense to the loving people of Australia, but their team sucks.Where was Rickys self belief as he showed his attitude when the empire re-corrected his decision and called back Tendulker, secondly for a loud and strong appeal for which Harbajan was declared out when he was not. If at all Tendulkar had stuck on and scored a big total, the world would have not been surprised, if the Australian cricket board had pressed and inquiry against the empires decision. Years back the Pakistanis were warned and even fined for over appealing. why does that not happen to the Australian? The bottom line is that the Australian team is indeed a good, strong but unfair team.
