The Indian cricket team mauled the Aussies in the second test match at Mohali. The victory is the perfect revenge for Indian cricket fans after the debacle at Sydney and also a fabulous gift for Diwali. The Aussies never looked like winning and played one of the worst cricket in their life time. The pitch was a feast for the batsmen but the Oz batsmen never applied themselves at the crease and were beaten consistently by Indian bowlers. I have never seen the Australian team play such defensive cricket. Adding to their agony is the differences between pace spearhead Lee and the skipper Ponting. The first half of the series clearly belongs to India and Dhoni has proved his mettle as a test captain. But he has to improve his test batting on green wickets abroad. Sachin became the highest run scorer in both forms of the game and the legend will shine even brighter in the Hall of fame of cricket. The Aussies have to pull up their socks to come back in this series but that seems improbable given the present plight of the team. India should utilize this opportunity and pile on the misery by winning the series.
