Heaven forbid the Australians would celebrate equalling a world record of 16 consecutive test victories, a period of dominance, high skill and high achievement. Especially after a game filled with such high drama, stress, fatigue, and swinging emotions.
I'm thinking back to the T20 celebrations in India by way of comparison. Especially when the BCCI originally wanted to boycott T20 cricket saying it was bad for the game. How quickly that tune changed (not that this is good or bad, just interesting to note in hindsight).
