Aussies are denied 17 in a row

Whew! what a relief.. to India and its fans. Although India looked like India would stop Australia in Sydney where they had their 16th consecutive win, equalling the world record, here in Perth they looked better than in Sydney. It was a team effort. Everyone in the team contributed. The key was the first innings bowling performance, where they got the Aussies attacking as usual off guard with very impressive disciplined bowling. Although Australia fought back in the second innings, it wasn't enough.

So, finally India gets the deserved win down under this season. I'm happy for them and for Kumble who got to 600 wickets. Hope we give them a run for their money at Adelaide next.
