Australian cricket has paid its Indian counterpart a high compliment by adopting its format for Twenty20 cricket, writes Peter Roebuck in the Hindu.
Now Australia intends to go a step further and embrace the private sector. By all accounts local Indian businessmen are amongst the highest bidders for franchises. If so it's a good thing, as is the news that Venkatesh Prasad is in contention for the bowling coach position with the national team. It all helps to stymie those determined to drive a wedge between our countries. They succeed by stereotyping and they need to be challenged.
