Howazzat!!!!

India just beat Australia. And man what a drubbing! We brought the Australian juggernaut to a screeching halt. Stymied, finally after sixteen Test matches. And we did it like gentlemen too! Ah, sweet comeuppance.

A few points of note:

• Newbie Ishaant Sharma getting Ponting’s wicket (ha,ha,ha). There is a God after all!
• Australia chasing a huge total of 413; a historic chase considering that the number of successful chases in the 400+ runs category have been only three.
• The “very very special” innings of Laxman.
• R.P’s and Pathan’s knocks.
• No McGrath though. Oh, well.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.
