Cricket and More

India beat Australia in the last one dayer at Wankhede last night with a valiant 50 run partnership for the 9th wicket by Murali Karthick and Zaheer Zhan, after Murali had mesmerized the Australians with a 6 wicket haul to restrict them to just around 200. Australia walked away with the Future Cup though, with the score in the 7 match series 4-2.

Interestingly, Rahul Dravid was dropped from the playing eleven on performance grounds, and ended the series with a miserable 51 runs in 5 matches. And while Dada got a duck in this match, he and Sachin lit up the games with some excellent innings and good opening partnerships.

The world has come full circle...
