India weren't at their best either - Dravid was top score with only 9x (where x > 0), and with both sides at their absolute best it would have to be a draw.

Six times? Nah. I reckon it was pretty closely fought. The pivotal moment was when we lost our 4th wicket in the first innings to go 4/40 down. That was really the difference between the sides...In the first dig, India's top order performed whereas ours didn't.

Piss Harby's hearing off...Had enough of that crap, let's get on with some more good cricket.

India bowled & batted better. We only probably just barely fielded better if you take Michael Clarke out of the equation... though he did take a pearler at 1st off Symo.

Sreesanth, possibly...

Geez. Seriously, get a grip. Australia are the world's best team - they have won 16 in a row. No one gave India a chance to win here (even me - thought the bowling attack was too inexperienced.)
India defied all expectations and won. Don't u think it's a chance to celebrate ??

Harbhajan was available for selection, but wasn't picked. He wasn't "out" as such. He's referring to Zaheer Khan who would be the first fast bowler picked if not for his injury, and arguably Sreesanth who's injured as well.
doubt he would be ahead of any of the pace bowlers that played today
for this test match indiah had there best side, you cant play 2 spinners at perth so they had there best 11 were as australia didnt have macgill or hayden playing

Geez, no straws at your place for you to clutch? As someone pointed out, Zaheer was unavailable, as was - as I mentioned - Sreesanth. Just because you claim no other players would have been in that team ahead of anyone, doesn't mean it's true.

FFS people, Zaheer Khan. The leader of India's (overseas) attack.
