Well, the Australian winning streak has come to an end at last. I’ve not been able to see much of the match because it is timed for when I’m asleep, but I gather that the heat played a major role. Whether this was the 40 C heat of the Perth summer, or the heat of the public opprobrium that descending on Ricky Ponting and his team after their antics in Sydney is not clear. Regardless, it is great to see the Australians being stretched again. India are a great side, and we need great sides to challenge the Aussies. Here’s hoping for another great match in Adelaide next week.
