India recorded their biggest test- cricket victory today (in terms of runs). They crushed the test champions, Australia by a huge margin of 320 runs. It was an emphatic win, outplaying the Aussies in batting, bowling, fielding and captaincy, consistently over 5 days. Australia have lost before but it's been a long time since they were so comprehensively taken apart. India is the only team in the last 10 years who has stood up to Australia and such a result was imminent.
MS Dhoni rightly deserves the man of the match award, though potentially it could have been given to any of the nine players with the possible exception of Dravid and Laxman. It was a great team effort ably led by the captain from the front. As I had said in one of my previous blogs, Dhoni is the man for Indian Cricket at the moment and there should be no hesitation in making him Team India's test captain (http://pradeepcvasudevan.blogspot.com/2008/08/msd.html). Congrats to whole team and management and specifically Kris Srikkanth who in my opinion took some sensible decisions in team selection and went for a right mix of experience combined with youth.......
