The last 72 hrs has been one of the most dramatic times for cricket. never imagined that rivalry between countries could go so intense.. and irony is both these teams are not playing to their arch rivals but are playing to themselves. I always liked Aussie style of playing cricket- dominating , aggresive and ruthless ... i still remember the punchline which Ponting used in 2003 world cup - Intent and Intimidate.. but the recent test match against india would be in his minds for long time. 2nd test between India and Australia would be regarded as a cricket match with worst umpiring. even the attitude of aussie was not up to mark which is expected from a champion team. Bhajji getting ban was unfair and it showed how immature mike procter continues to be.. even after his showdown with indian team in south africa in Jo'Burg few years ago.. Bucknor was shown the door..tour was in jeopardy .. finally after dramatic set of events unwhirled themselves .. india proved its point about harbhajan ban and pathetic umpiring . and hence.. bhajji is back at Perth .. and so is Bowden ...
Perth , being one of the fastest pitches on the planet throws up a mouth watering contest between two teams who are heated up and it looks like Ponting would love to make a record of 17 vics and also prove kumble´s men that his bunch of blokes do have some ´spirit´. while kumble and his boys would try to erase the the sydney nightmare and try to win at venue which can be considered as a nightmare for indian batsman... Hoping perth pitch lives up the bill..
even though series is over .. the remaining two tests will still continue to attact crowds.. thanks to the events of Sydney.. waiting for 16th jan ... the only sad part for me is the match at my place will start late night and i gotta do night outs to watch it .. lol... i guess.. i mite do it ....
me signing off now... gotta do few things now...
cya... tchau ....

i guess he deserved a ban.
if u ask a lip reader bhajji actually said maa ki and blah blah and which is worse than callin a person monkey and i could even see bhajji apologising to the umpires...i might be wrong but indians are not naturally aggressive players.I am not sayin they gotto lesten waht ever oppents say to them but yes players like sreesanth can be called jokers of the game....anyways india played well and they shud be proud of the fact they won the test at perth but they sgud not make a huge cry over sydney which i say australia deserved to win...
