A glorious 153 by Sachin, his 39th hundred, his 80th international hundred and a defiant 87 by Kumble and India scores over 500, for the second time in the series.

Sachin creates history, scores 39th hundred !
2008-01-24 12:24:00
What a glorious innings ! His 39th hundred and with his 41 ODI hundreds, he has scored 80 hundreds in international cricket, an enviable record indeed !He remained as the rock of Gibralter, taking on the might of the Aussie pace attack. Assuming the role of sheet anchor, he saw India finish at a respectable 309/5.Sehwag and Laxman scored half centuries, while Dravid and Ganguly did not impress.The Senior players need not lament that they are dropped. We saw a lot of criticism directed at the selectors. They simply opted for youth. The ODI and 20/20 team is different totally from a Test team.

India move to 2nd position in Tests, as per ICC Rankings
2008-01-20 15:14:00
This is glorious ! India as the second best team in the world, after their sterling performance at Perth ! None of their bowlers rank in the first five, but they did havoc with the Aussie batsmen, skittling them out for 212 & 340 ! They swung the ball more than the Aussies ! Dravid, Laxman and Ganguly has been dropped for the ODI series. The ODI team is different from the Test team, as these three are good for Tests . Maybe age must have been the factor and the selectors wanted a younger side ! It is learnt that Dhoni wanted the T20 winning side. Suresh Raina is back, after an year !

India bowled well, says Ponting
2008-01-19 12:36:00
India deserved to win, said Ponting . It is true that the Indian swing bowlers swung the ball more than their Aussie counterparts ! Young Ishant Sharma's bowling to Ponting was a revealation. Wasim Akram gave some fantastic tips to Pathan, just before the match. Aussies were reduced to 61/5 at their den, from which they never truly recovered. Aussies were at a tremendous advanatage playing at their favourite ground, the fastest in the world. They had not lost any Test there ( except to an England side, when top Aussie players were not there ).So India has created history at Perth, being the first subcontinental side, to shock the Aussies !
