Well done Australia.

Tough luck, India. Well played.

 

[sideshowtim]

A perfect declaration from Ponting. Wonderful captaincy throughout.

There is no pleasure in this win, I love seeing Australia win, but in a fair way, not this. We can hardly blame the Australian players for their good luck and they have made the most of it, but one must feel for the Indians who played so well and especially with their best bowler out but had everything and more go against them.

I'd rather have an Aussie victory that sweet than my house!

Who wants the keys?!

 

[LJMJ]

What a sad person you are; go away.

The only thing sad is Australian fans deluded enough to think this wasn't a farce.

 

[Turbinator]

I'm just gonna quietly leave now. Just go to sleep, queitly. Before I do something this world will regret.

 

[Anil]

damn! 0-2! and with perth looming, there is a distinct possibility of 0-3!

I replied first. So you have to give it to me tbh. I know what I am going to do to it too.

 

[pup11]

But seriously got to give it Clarke... MAN OF THE MATCH for me...

Of course bad decisions were disappointing, but seriously you've made your point and everyone is sick of you ramming it down their throats.

Great job for Australia though - especially Clarke. I liked India and their fightback - I am not really mad at India for losing. I think they played extremely well.

Please keep this thread civil guys.

 

[Slow Love™]

Thanks for the welcomes, guys. Just when I think I'm out, they drag me back in. (Actually, it's been more a question of lack of time and a tad less interest in recent cricket.)

Great stuff from the Aussies at the end, but I agree with SS, this result really exacerbates the consequences of the poor umpiring in this match.

Definately smiled and yelled and the incredible fashion of the win. But yeah, feels empty.

I said it in jest, Bill may be senile

It was a good call. Without wanting it to sound like sour grapes, if the umpiring hadn't been so poor, then this may have been the greatest Test I've seen.

 

[Ospi]

last post here cus i know this place is going to turn into a haven of blind fanboys from both sides so my final words.

Both teams played very well, and it should have finished in a draw with the umpiring taken into effect. Props to india for taking it to the aussies for once, let us hope that we see a fair match umpiring wise next test and see who truly is the best team. I am sure we will be in for a good battle.

 

[Nate]

Symonds MOTM. I have no opinion about that decision at all.

Not so fast, buddy.

Gracious in victory. Respect.
