Do you miss India-Australia matches?

LOLZ.............i can't stop laughing on this one.........

By the way read that there is a india-aus 3 day match starting tonight(in floodlights) abt jaipur. Its for some shooting porpose.......Brett lee and haydos are there. Is there any way to see this thing?????

I really miss the Ind-Aus series and the way it was played even

though the spirit can only be seen by angels.

I thing, I want to remind and reminded myself is not to fall to the

trap of BCCI and media. Just go back one year at the same time where was India and Pak cricket. It was in shambles being

out of WC and not qualified and add to it the death of Pak Coach. Soon came few series of cricket, India winning in Eng

and against BD. Then came this Aus tour where everyone was

assuming India will loose badly. But it turned out to be a close

contest both in Tests and ODI, except for a few. But add to it,

all the drama and hype caused by players, media and boards.

Include ICC to it.

I disagree the rivalry between Pak and India is not there. It is

still there and it is a special friendship and rivalry at the same

time. Pak players have injuries and specially the main bowlers

and also the Indian pace bowlers. I will take the Ind-Pak series

any day, any time and it is always played in great interest.

What I do not like is the one-sided affairs as we are seeing in

SA-Ind series. SA has been dominant so far and Indian bowlers have not come to terms on their own pitches. That

is the problem. We do not see any controversies, which is

good for the game, but one-sided games are always boring

whether it is SA or Aus or Eng or Pak. A close fight even in

case of a lost cause is interesting than winning one way all

the time. That is what the game is about.

Related to umps, let us all give them a break....they deserve

more in the Indian hot summer. Pitches and Indian adjusting

to their own pitch is the problem. Wait until the Aus come to

visit India.

I fully agree with you. No cricket series in the recent past has attracted so much world attention as the India-Australia series did. There were lot of interest not only while the match was in progress but both before and after the match and I do not think that Australia had such a tough series for a long time.

You are right about the excitement,the rivalry,the adrenaline that is undoubtedly asociated with india Australia matches. But now cricket may be boring,but during those matches cricket has become ugly,with all sort of controversies,name calling,scandals. Healthy rivalries like the ones that exists between India and Pakistan and England and Australia during the Ashes are good.

India Australia matches made cricket anything but a gentleman's game. It even made the relations between the two countries got sour. Personally,iam glad it got over.

Oh its so true....the matches on Australian grounds were also on nice to watch on TV....the home series is looking so dull...the grounds also dint look good....i really don't have any interest left in the SA series not bcoz we lost the match but since the first match itself.

Whatever happened in Aus was not good for cricket(sledging/monkey stuff etc) but it was gr8 fun to watch the rivalry between two teams...not once did i feel the boredom watching those matches.

I hope IPL provides some much needed action in the matches!

Bret Lee is probably the best bowler in world cricket right now, Matt Hayden as usual very good against India. Pointing off colour and Ishant Sharma is the find of the series for India, Congrats to Aussies though we cant forget the foul taste of Sydney still I think Indians made a strong comeback against the champion team they can hold their heads high.

Actually what we are missing is the peripheral controversies around these matches (like a good saas-bahu drama). Else, there is good, probably better cricket on view between India and SA. Which goes to prove that cricket unfortunately took a back seat in that series.

each team playing australia plays with high spirit and aggression, even there were controversies in ashes. Its that all team want to beat Australia to be no 1. For doing that they go for Kill and aussies are always there which creates exitement. India is not exception. Pakistan team is now became even bad than their ICL counterparts even now a days pakistan fans like ICL matches than their Main team.

But its True now a days watching India v/s Australia is a Different thing with lot of Excitement.

What a thought! I love them too. The excitement is not just there with India V S.A. I miss the IND V AUS matches. Oh well, I'm looking foward to IPL for a similar action.

Enjoy Life
