So Australia completed their 3-0 sweep of Pakistan, making it 12 consecutive victories over them. Sri Lanka are the other team to have done this, against Bangladesh. I had predicted a double 3-0 win for Australia in their summer of cricket and it ended 5-0. Barring the Sydney test , it was one of the most boring Australian summer of cricket I can recall. At least next year, the Poms head down under, for the Ashes.
Talking of the Poms, was good to see that they didn’t ‘ steal ‘ a win against South Africa, much like how they won the ‘ Ashes’ . Yes, I still can’t believe or even recover from last summer’s Ashes defeat. Of course only a Pom would write that 1-1 was a fair result.
Read this to have a laugh. Seriously how deluded is this guy ??

Meanwhile, it’s been hilarious to read all and sundry in the media having a go at Sehwag for telling something everyone knows. So much for telling the truth. Bangladesh did well to restrict India for less than 250, but they are doing their best to emulate them by slumping to 59/3. What odds for a typical Bangladesh collapse tomorrow ? If I expect one guy to do well, it would be their captain Shakibul Hasan, for the rest I have no hope. I think they would go and make Sehwag’s statement true !
Time for another set of predictions, this time for the two ODI series Down Under.
Aus 4 , Pak 1
Aus 3, West Indies 2
To be honest, can’t wait for South Africa to land in India for the two test series. How hard would it have been to make it a three test series, and ditch the 3 meaningless ODI’s ??? Guess we should thank BCCI for even making this two test series a possibility !!!!
