Kevin, every coutry has a strategy and it is for its management to define that strategy not some random poster. Lets say our strategy was to have great batsmen in front and not expect anything from our tailenders? Maybe we knew a part timer can wipe the tail in an over. Maybe that is why we had Dravid and Saurabh playing the way they did. Maybe RP Singh was in the team to reduce Australia to 200 all out (a part he did very well, until we got bucknored by that token inclusion - Symonds, whose job in the team is probably to incite opposition and than whinge).
The point is Bucknor, Clarke and Punter cheated and that is why we lost. Don't you see - They were down and out in first inning 136/6 till Symonds got 3 decisions? We could certainly win from there. We managed a lead only for Hussey to be given not out. We would win even from there. We were building up in the second inning when Dravid was given out. We could draw from there. Then Ponting gave Ganguli out. All you have to say is it was upto ishant Sharma to draw.
I think it is GOOD that India lost. If it was a draw, India would have forgotten the ozzy behavior and ozzies would carry on. It is good that we lost and a debate is on to operate this cancer from cricket - the vile behavior bordering criminal from ozzies.
Calvin, i do not expect any appreciation of my last lines from you. Given that you are from same culture, it might not even sound wrong to you.
