Wining at WACA
Predictions of this test match not seeing the fifth morning by Australian captain Ricky Pointing proved right by the Perth pitch, though without bringing a smile on the face of Australian captain, as the curtain for cricketing actions at WACA were brought down Indians even well before of the sunset for the forth days play by wining the test, creating a history of being first victorious team from the Indian subcontinent and more importantly proving all odds wrong and snatching the smile from the some what arrogant Australian captain.
After the Sydney storm Indians were at the bottom of demoralization and to come over from there to victorious position was almost equal to climb the Everest without having oxygen cylinders and that too in the winter season. All the anger and anguish generated from the worst umpiring decisions, which forced the team to face a defeat at Sydney, so called allegations of racial comments against the off spinner Hrabhajan singh and disputed decision of match referee over the issue might proved inspiration for the Indian cricketers to cross all the barriers and went on to achieve what can only be described only as the Himalayan task.
Defeating Australia in Australia and that too at the Perth was the unrealized dream of all the cricketing nations of the world. Ever since the era of captaincy by Tylair, Waugh and Pointing Australians were the almost non beatable cricket team and twice created world record of 16 test matches wins in a raw. Australian cricket team is also world Champion of ODI version of the game though the Australians failed to appear in the inaugural T-20 world championship final but no body from the cricketing world thought of the down fall of Australian cricket.
Win by India at WACA is just not a defeat of world champions in a test match but it means a lot more. This was second occasion where wounded Indians had shown there anger in the cricketing answer in recent times. Six sixes of Yuvraj, during the T-20 championships and this win at Perth both are generated from the insulting and non justifying treatment with Indians. At the Perth Australians were undefeated since lost 11 years, no team was able to beat Australians in Australia since last 25 times, and last time Australian cricket team was beaten by the same country India in the year 2003 at Adelaide. If we look at the concluding indications of WACA win
Don’t try to hurt Indian emotions with insulting and non justifying treatment because the rearguard action to this will be most painful.
This is not just yet another defeat, but breaking of dreams, Australians team and Captain Ricky Poiting were dreaming of 17th straight test win and creating a new record.
This is not the Australian cricket team, which is unbeatable but the Indian team is unbeatable team provided if the Indian players keep playing as single unit.
No surface can prove hurdle for the exhibition of talent and skills of the game, for win one needs to be stickled to basics of the game. I don’t agree with Poiting’s statement of criticizing complain about the 22 yard strip of Perth because no batsman succeeded in scoring a century after all bowling is all important part of the game and Australians included Tait in the playing eleven considering the nature of pitch.
Cricket match can win only by performing at ground and not by creating atmosphere of a kind of mental terrorism for the opponents.
You can beat Australian cricket team even at home provided you can match talent of the opponent and be ready for replying Australians in their own language not only in the cricketing skills but even on the sledging fronts. Similarly you need to have the calm body postures of Kumbale or Dhoni for reciprocate the arrogant attitude of Australian cricketers; they are arrogant because no body was there to match with their zeal of winning.
Subsequent dismissal of Ricky Pointing in the series by Harbhajan and Sharma or dismissal of both the Australians openers by Pathan in both innings of this test match, are indicative that one can work and expose weaknesses of Australian players and went on to win the matches.
You can match even to talent of world champions under the favorable conditions for them with you limited experience provided if you can come out with positive attitude and cumulative efforts.
This might be the occasion of emergence of new world champions in the form of Indians though still India a lot to achieve and improve before claiming the right of being the world champions but surely after the Twenty-20 world cup this is second alarming call for Australians for their position of world champions.
Windy WACA was sounding through out the day, as the Indian victory started to become visible even at the stumps of third day’s play. If you ask Dhoni which sound was favorite for him the sure reply will be the sound of dislodging of bells during the stumping of M J Clark when the kumbale’s ball excluded the bat of probable future Australian captain going down to track.
The most important lesson of Perth win for Indians will be not to flow with this win because it is sure Australians will come all out for a win at Adilade to get revenge of defeat not only for this test but also for the defeat of 2003, here Indians will have yet another chance to add the wound pains for Australians because the players are not only in demoralized mood but the ground situations at Adilade are not as favorable as the WACA was for the Australian players.
