The game we all love, however
Over the last 20 years, since the Ganguly-led Indian team started to win outside of Asia, somehow, somewhere, the India vs Australia series became quite competitive and a lot of times, closely fought. Suddenly, Australia talked about the series being on par with the Ashes. During the Waugh and Ponting era, when Australia won everything …
The Indian team, after the surrender to New Zealand at home, is now in Australia for The Border Gavaskar Trophy. It is worth mentioning that India has somehow, won the trophy 4 consecutive times, including, twice in Australia. Looking back and looking at the batting, it is nothing short of a miracle.

In continuation of the previous a proud record crashed, I want to analyse or rather pour my frustration on the blog because I just like several others, am still not able to come to terms with how such a proud record was lost because of some of the most atrocious batting that has been witnessed …
