Atleast 2 wrong decisions against Australia on the last day. - Clarke given out on a no-ball and one more player (Hughes?) given out LBW on ball pitched outside the leg stump. Otherwise, the match would have drawn. It is generally true that umpiring mistakes happen to both sides and balance out each other, but mistakes at crucial time can change the match result as has happened yesterday.
congrats . they have made us proud. it may not be a big deal in india..but its big deal for australia.their psyche is wrapped up in their winning in sports if only India could do so well in other areas
2 Wks we took was cheating, when Aus does this we all say they are cheaters, and our media will host some TALK session also. But where did they all go this time. I think last time when we lost in Aug 4-0, I don't re-call anything as cheating by Aug.... Still why did we do that this time....

Irrespective what happened in this series we got some good track (I feel not even a state cricket player would prefer to play) which helped the HOME Team. Look at the Series other team conducts (AUS - Brisbone, Adlide, Sydney, Melborne) and (ENG - Lords, Oval, etc..) and (RSA- Centution, DURBAN, Johannesburg, etc...) They are all different pitches in nature... But what ever the pitch we prepare will all start Turn from day one on the First ball. Despite of that the Visitors will only lose the match on 5th day. Hats OFF to the Visitor and the level of qulity Cricket they play.

in first inning, pujara was wrongly given lbw when he had clear inside edge of the bat before ball touching pad. u can say umpiring was bad but not partial. in fact, ausis r famous to win at home with the help of their umps only.
turning point was 187 whirlwind inning by dhawan, he almost scored 100 runs more compared to other batters who wud hv scored in the same given time. that quick 100 runs were crucial in the 4 days match.
even if ind wins 4-0 against the weakest ausis team, that cant wipe out the agony of 8-0 whitewash with our full fledged best team n so-called world class batters playing in the series against eng n ausi.
even the so-called kings at home were defeated against the eng team on our den.
ind won against the weak ausis is good but not the best thing.

You play with the hand you have been dealt. This is an amazing recovery of Indian cricket form total collapse. Thanks to Dhoni and BCCI, we are back to top position in test cricket in a very short time. We will handily beat SA.
