PERTH CONQUERED--CRICKET WON 
posted by --sunny joshi
“Golden run ends at hands of swinger kings”…so says the Melbourne based Australian newspaper “The Age”.
Undoubtedly, this is virtually impregnable and one of the finest victories which was taken away from the den of the OZs…. More so, this victory becomes so special and important because the cricket pitch at Perth is known to be fastest one in the world and the Kangaroos were thinking that on this pitch their fast bowlers will make it very difficult for Indians to stay on the pitch and no one will stop them from achieving their golden run and world record of winning 17th test match continuously. Not only Australians, the other Pundits and experts were also singing same tone that on this fast pitch Indian can’t nowhere stand against the fast OZs bowlers. But after unpleasant happenings at Sydney, the resurgent and dogged Indians proved wrong all pundits and experts of cricket and stormed to their greatest victory on foreign soil and shattered Australia's quest for a record-breaking 17th straight Test.This famous win not only stopped the winning spree of the OZ’s but also shattered their dream from making their world record of winning seventeen text matches in a sequence. It is rightly said that history repeats itself because for the second time, India halted an Australian Test-winning sequence at 16 games. For Indian, it was the first victory at the WACA Ground Perth and fifth ever on Australian soil.
Before Perth test, what happened in Sydney was not just cricket…At one point the team was seriously thinking returning home in the middle of tour after the humiliation the team suffered at Sydney. However, by settling side the option of returning home the team choose to stay on the field and avenge the humiliation in a befitting and sporting manner. What is more generous and greatness on the part of Indian team was to withdraw the complaint against Brad Hogg just before starting the Perth test, who reportedly abused the Indian players in Sydney test. And look- the boys overwhelmed against all odds and excelled in every field of the cricket and broke the streak of OZs. They avenged Sydney in a befitting manner… Bravo boys…and for the forthcoming Melbourne test -start singing ….We will….we will rock you OZs…
