India wins the commonwealth series

Finally an exciting match happened and what a match it was! Gripping, tense and good cricket all around. Australia fought fabulously to peg back India to what was turning out to be a huge 300 plus score and India put relentless pressure on the Aussie batting to scrape home. It was the cricket wasn't it? Any anybody who watched the match could have learned many things related to this trade as some good ideas in the bowling department all around by both teams were seen. If Nathan Bracken showed...

India takes the first swipe

For what was a long and boring commonwealth series, I was hoping for some exciting brand of cricket being played in the finals and a decent match went by with India quite easily beating the Aussies.

Pakistan tour of India – ODI series, tour report
