No way!
Not only did India beat Australia in the second Test, we thrashed them.
Thrashed them.
The shoe is on the other foot now, eh?
How's it feel, you arrogant Aussies? Not too good huh?
I mean, it's laughable that Matthew Hayden complained about Zaheer Khan sledging him after being dismissed by that "little obnoxious weed" Harbhajan Singh (Hayden's words, not mine, literally). The Aussies practically invented sledging, and now their feelings are hurt? It's not as easy when you are the ones at the bottom.
This one had everything go right for India. There were some sterling batting performance all around (Sachin Tendulkar even chipped in when it mattered), there was some tight bowling, good captaincy (MS Dhoni did well, but I hope they don't use this as an excuse to phase out Anil Kumble), and a fantastic century by the Prince of Calcutta himself, Sourav Ganguly (so memorably named by his biggest fan, Geoffrey Boycott), playing in his final Test series.
Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. If I know one thing about the Aussies, they never give up, never, and they're going to come roaring back in the next Test.
But until then...we thrashed Australia!
