India vs Australia Boxing Day test match

When India and Australia meet down under, one can rest assured that it's gonna be mouth-watering cricket. The boxing day test match between India and Australia was a perfect showpiece of  how interesting test matches can get. The balance of pendulum kept swinging in the direction of both teams - almost every day. On first day, both teams looked balanced, on second day, India looked on top with firm grip on match. At the stumps of very next day, again Australia had slight edge with respectable lead but India also in well within game. On stumps of 3rd day, Indian media almost declared that Indian team will give a good news on 4th day. But on contrary, 4th day ended with result in favor of Australia. The series which has been named as 'Agneepath' series (road filled with fire) in sensational promotional videos, is indeed Agneepath for both the teams.

Indian team has now lost 5th consecutive abroad test match. Has failed to cross 300 runs mark in last 9 innings. Though there were some brilliant individual performances, big guns have failed to perform when it mattered the most. And, Sachin again 'failed' to fulfill dreams of over a billion people by not scoring 100th 100.

Sometimes while appearing for exam, one feels that he is weak in certain area and when exam actually begins, he performs exceptionally well in that area and he fails to deliver in area where he was supposed to perform the best. The same thing happened with Indian team.

VVS Done it for India Again!!

India Vs Australia Test Matches, its been always a very exciting battle since a decade, but this was the most thrilling one amongst the matches ever played and finally India won the match with 1 wicket, thanks to the brilliant innings by Very Very Special VVS Laxman on the 5th day with 73 not out in just 79 balls.

Laxman, who was injured with back pain, came to the bat when game was well balanced, but after departure of Sachin, Dhoni and Harbhajan, it looked almost impossible to win as still 92 runs were required and 2 wickets were in hand. But, Laxman shown his class again, (you remember he scored a blistering century on the 5th day against Sri Lanka to win a Match for India very recently), kept cool and batting with a runner, he put a match winning partnership of 81 runs for the 9th wicket with tail ender Ishant Sharma.
