from the master of the pluck tho ;)

Oz rule in odi format - in indai with 3rd string bowling attack :0

enough said ;) believe me B-)

Aussie 2nds 4 India 2

very disappointing ////pathetic effort by india, am totally gutted :(

Does anyone know what the series prices were for 5-2 to the aussies?

I have been to India twice - they are cricket mad. Millions of people playing everywhere in parks and streets and wherever there is space. They love talking about it and I was always surprised at the knowledge and enthusiasm the normal Indian has for the cricket.
Yet these billion + people who love this sport to the exclusion of all other games get continually humbled at the same sport by OZ where 20 million people consider cricket sport no. 3 (behind Rugby League and Aussie Rules? my guess here).

Joe, you lot must be the worst sportsmen on the face of the earth.

Yes happy to concede thaat ffor now, the aussies remain top dogs in ODI.. but only for now ;)

Woeful series for injuns :( .. BUT, lets not forget its their first defeat in a series , home or away for 2 years.. so is it a blip.. or something more worrying :(

The next few series will tell us the answer ;) ..i will be a happy bunny if injuns lose just the one series every 2 years :D

More importantly Joe, we need to find a reason/plan, how you can erase this series from everyones minds, so it fits in with another bout of untrue/mindless stats next year, to argue that India are truly top dog.

Maybe we could use the India are unbeaten in all forms of cricket for 3 seasons if we discount November games.

There must be a way around this blip, an outside distraction that can be used as a smokescreen?

bakerboy....india have a "proud" record of dissapointing series/ tournies :(

But the one thing previous setbacks have in common is that they have proved to be blips rather then a sign of a collapse of injun cricket :0

I have seen the hopes and fantasies of Injun doubters brutally and mercilessly dashed in last few years :0

they are having orgasmic eruptions again at the thought that THIS time injuns might be on a downward spirel.. i fear though, that once again those fantasies and hopes will be dashed as India again prove that this was another blip..and they come back on track over the next few years ;)

yes they need to look at reasons why they lost this series..... yes they need to learn from it.... but one thing they don't need to do is go over the top and make a mountain out of a molehill.. they know they got the talent.... they know they have already proved they can get to No1 ranking ...they just need to prove it again.. and they will.. believe me ;

"they know they got the talent"

I think that is half the problem.

looks like India 6-1 or 5-2 backers will get their money back ....so maybe Joe's off the hook
