Please congratulate our Team. At least if we can criticize when they lose we must say Hurrah!You have made us proud. We have not asked them to play without their best Batsmen or Bowler. In fact this team of Australia is much better than the one played against Bishen Bedi's team. Let us hope that they also win in the 50 over matches. Hail King Kohli

agreed, 2 nd test squad SELECTION with 4 fast bowler was big mistake of shashtri and virat.otherwise results where different
India could win against Australia only because they were lack of main bowlers and also their main two main batsmen are not allowed to play. Actually this tem doesnt have any charm of earlier batsmen.
No doubt Indian team has created history and we all should feel happy about this achievement. But let me just quote what our Indian coach is saying \"But lead, with something in it, can be pretty serious. And that\'s what we have fired right through the series against Australia. We were committed, and it jolly well bloody made a difference at the end of it all. This is not a team of gods or demigods, seniors or juniors.\"
This sort of statements are not expected from him. However important this test series win may be, the fact remains that two of their best batsman were not part of this team. If one recalls all the earlier Australian test series with India, it\'s only two or utmost three batsmen made all the difference; Steve & Mark Waugh, Dean Jones & Allan Border or Ricky Ponting & Mathew Hayden. Even in the current series, We could get this series win largely due to the efforts of Puhara and to some extent Kohli. The Bowling Strength of both teams were more or less similar, it\'s the batting that led Australia down. Mr. shastri should realise that the score line should have been 3-0 not 2-1. But for his selection fallacy, we should have won perth test.
India's victory agst Australia in the current Test Match series is certainly impressive and not to be undermined. But The reliity that they were the weakest ever bowling side cannot also be ignored.
