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!
