I thought of writing this piece last night, but held on to the thought until SA actually won. A little superstitious.
This morning, SA made 183 needed for a series win against AUS. They have won the 3 match series 2-0. Many said, Australia like we know them, will come back strong at MCG after the lost test at Perth, but that was proven all wrong by Graeme Smith and his men. Beating Australia isnt a very difficult task now. Other countries can definitely fancy their chances against the Aussies.
Just about a year ago, India was very close to do this to Australia, on their own turf. If it wasnt for Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson, India would have definitely won.
Good they had a home series against NZ between away series with India and home series with SA, otherwise, it would very well have been successive losses.
This series loss should make the Aussies a little worried. Ponting is still doing good as a batsman, but may be his time has come. Sooner or later, we will hear the announcement.
But, may be he still fancies breaking Sachin’s records. However for that to happen Sachin will have to stop playing
