India wins the Perth Test match against the Aussies

Finally! the moment every Indian Cricket fan was waiting for has arrived. The aussies have been defeated and how! At the start of the Perth Match everyone was confident that the Aussies are going to create a record by winning this Test Match thus giving them a place in history of being the only team to have registered 17 successive Test match wins.

However, the Indian Team was in no mood to grant them this wish. Both the teams played brilliant cricket, however the Indian Team shone in the end and registered a historic win over Australia in Australia.



This is the first time that a team from the India Sub-continent has won a test match in Perth. Again, it was Australia's first defeat in Australia since 2003. The last team to have defeated Australia in Australia was.. well India! Yup. this happenned 5 years ago when Saurav Ganguly was the captain of the team. The situation was the same. Australia at that time too needed one win to register a record of 17 successive teast wins. But, they were denied the chance then, and they were denied the chance this time too.

Experts say that the India team was fired up after the incidents in the Sydney test. Sunil Gavaskar, the original little master of the cricketing world said that this win was the most important win of India in over 40 years! CricInfo.com has compiled a bulletin of the match and I completely agree with them.

The only worry though is whether India can maintain their stature and go ahead to win the next match? Well, lets just wait and watch!

New rules to be implemented in Cricket

(1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED ) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE .

(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be sought from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.

(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.

(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.

(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACISM only.

(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.

(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.

(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE : If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - "THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET" more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET .

These rules will clarify better to all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.
