Adelaide - The Last Nail in the Coffin! Indians Are Going To Be Buried and Buried Deep!

India Vs Australia 4th Test, Adelaide.

At the end of Day 4 of the 4^th test at Adelaide, the score board read India 166/6 in 56 over(s). All the much celebrated batsmen of the Indian team, so called champions of the World Cup 2011 sat in the pavilion probably sipping the evening tea. They had failed yet again and their performance was much on the expected lines.

Australia needs just 4 more wickets to complete the whitewash. They would complete all formalities required for the same on day 5, may be in less than 4 hours tomorrow. Barring Virat Kohli’s century in the 1^st innings (116 runs off 213 balls) and Virender Sehwag’s half century in the 2^nd innings (62 runs off 53 balls), none of the other Indian batsmen performance is worthy of discussion.

Adelaide Is Where The Nightmare Will Finally Come To An End For Indian Fans!

Asian teams playing cricket overseas have always struggled to win matches. If they ever win a series then it’s like creating history.

Here’s a small comparison between two credible Asian teams performances both playing overseas. Both have lost the series. One was playing a 5 match ODI series against mighty South Africa and the other is playing a 4 match test series against Australia.

The significant difference is although the team playing against South Africa lost the series; they fought back and fought hard. They won hearts and for sure least salvaged some pride.

Their last overseas tour to England was quiet miserable. Dhoni and his boys have to work extra hard to prove the critics wrong and emerge victorious.
