australia have won a test series in india five times whereas india have never won a test series in australia, australia lead india in all-time head to head in odis in all conditions and all countries, they lead india in head to head in all forms of the game in history, india have won only 4 tests in australia to 24 losses, india have historically lost twice the no of matches than they have won in cricket history, u know, india can never be at the top or anywhere close like it has always been.they will remain down the pack as always. i am not coming back ever to read anything on this discussion.i have not read any posts.

Why is it "confidence" when you carry on like a pork chop in the Indian team but "arrogance" when you carry on like a pork chop in the Australian team? Let's face it - both sides are arrogant. No coincidence that they are the two best sides in the world at the moment! But the thing that concerns me is that India (especially off the field) are acting like bullies. Sob, sob Ghambir was found guilty of elbowing - we don't like the decision and will appeal. What ... we lost the appeal!?! As if thiswas the first time Ghambir had transgressed. India "got away" with one when Singh was let off following the Sydney test (another serial transgressor). Arrogance mixed with being a bully on and off the field is an EXTREMELY dangerous mixture.

Clearly India is the best cricket nation in the world at the moment. Learn to wear that mantle with grace - something that Australia was not good at - but India is proving to be worse at!

U guys love sticking a knife in when u can. Was seeing all your posts.. arrogance, apologies, BCCI bullying.. can u see anything other than negative? We can do without 'writers' like you.

i don't think this is an article at 1st place and the writor has lost his senses which is very typical for the media in India wherein one good performance will make a player god and one bad we know what. Even the Fab five were not spared by the media. speak about spinner i personnaly feel spinner who takes wicket in bunches and more so of the top order. i dont this in that param,eter any body is above Bhajji. i am not saying that Kreja is not a good bowled but he is just 1 test match. let him play few more than only let us pass any judgement. it is applicable to Amit Mishra as well.........

Looks like India will win the series. Well done, India, and let's see if the Indians will have more controversies in the upcoming Tests against England and Pakistan. I think not. I think it is Australia who brings out the worst in teams, in cricket at least. And it is not because they are number one in the world, it is because they ask for it. Again, congrats, India, well played. Cheers. By the way, since Yousuf is not playing, you should beat Pakistan easily, because we have no coach and the captain is a third rate cricketer called Shoaib Malik.

It was not the arrogance of the Indians but the stupidity of the Australian team that we ought to be talking about here. Yes, he took 12 wickets in the match but by conceding above 360 runs -2nd highest ever in the test history. When the Australian team says a sentence it is a sign of confidence and when the opposition says the same thing it is arrogance! Mr journo! let us get to the basics of journalism where you are supposed to be more like a referee and not an emotional whining chap!

Gerard, let the indian team show some consistency against other teams for a sustained period, before even comparing it with the great australian side of the last 10 years. Also, if aussies have been cheating their way through dominance, then alas, you dont understand the game of cricket at all. Also india are soon to go through a transition phase which the aussies are undergoing, and the we will actually get to know about the "bench strength" of the Indians. In spite of being a far superior side to the present australian team, they barely managed to escape with a draw in bangalore, and failed to win in delhi in spite of scoring 600+ runs. And in Nagpur the test is poised for an exciting finish. So apart from the Mohali win, India has failed to dominate aus, the way australia used to dominate other teams including India in India ..in the last 3 series prior to this one aus has won 5 matches to 3 losses, and 2 of their losses were in a dead rubber, hardly a point of India standingupto au

Good article but i think it is not arrogance or out of the blue thing, In last couple of years, can any one let me know how many match winning performance have we seen from Indian Spiners (and i am talking about like the ones Bhaji made his mark with or Jumbo's routine performances five yr's back) and how many times spiners from other teams have walked away with exceptional performances. there are couple of reasons for this one No Indian current spiner (yes including Bhaji and all his antics, and even Jumbo himself in last couple of years) has the class of Jumbo of yester years, so it means no match winning performaces from bowling side whereas the Batsmen (the core/ fab four) have routinly been out of form with fitness level not the same as it used to be and every thing to go with it ie eye sight, reflexes etc. SO GUYS YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING

The Indian batsmen played with a freedom that hasn't been seen in years. Almost all batsmen played their natural game. In the process, if the opposing offie got 8 wickets, we must also not forget that he accounted for almost hald the innings total. May India long continue to play with this freedom--victory and defeat is only a conclusion; the early chapters must be enjoyable as was the case in the first innings of the Nagpur Test.

I know this is not going to be published. Please get a descent photograph of writer. Again an article full of shit. I failed to read through it again. Just to let you know.
