So the record breaking series between India and Australia just ended. The series was really a milestone for cricket. When the series started no one was interested in it. Everyone thought that India will make a complete white wash of young Australian team. However, the spirit they showed and courage they encountered just put them in the list of mighty brave hearts. Psychologically the highest score of 300 has just vanished and new benchmark of 360 has been set up. People were not able to understand as what do players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan would eat to become the robotic run machines.
Jaypur, Nagpur and Bangluru saw the threshold broken and public got worth of every single penny they spent on the match. However, we have to analyze as what was that thing which made batsmen to score so much of runs. First thing was the fact that these were Indian pitches and plane one like concrete, so it gave freedom to batsmen to wipe out bowling. Second thing was that weird rule of ICC which permits only four fielders outside thirty yards circle. This rule is criticized by all commentators and even by some batsman such as Virat Kohli. No one can understand as why every rule which ICC makes is against the bowlers. Third thing was the weak bowling from both sides. Though pitches were just plane but no bowler was in form and no one bowled on correct line and length. No yorkers were tried from any side and no variations of pace was observed.
Another thing which many of us were unable to understand as why Johnson went back to Australia before the final match. Australian gave the reason that he went for preparing Ashes series. However, as final at Bangluru was important match and he was spearhead of bowling attack, he should have stayed back. To win the final match is always important for any team as it increases team's confidence and helps team to go confidently in the next series. This was the basic mistake which Australians made and it will definitely going to cause them in upcoming Ashes series.
The series was positive in some aspects. It gave Australia some new typical blood players such as Faulkner and some other batting talents.Young players took experiences of playing on subcontinent wickets. Last but not least it gave a mindset that anyone can chase any total on any ground in India.
Now Australian team went back for preparing Ashes and Indian team is preparing for biggest event on the planet. That event is the farewell to their greatest hero of all time and that is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. News coming from Mumbai are astonishing. Only four thousand tickets are available for general public. Postal tickets have been printed in the name of Sachin. Nearly four hundred million is on the bet with Sachin. The ticket of Wankhede will have photo of Sachin. The match will going to be the Macca-Madina of all the events. We all are welcome to celebration of god's retirement.
