Whats the fuss all about

[talksport]

India won a micky mouse cup in a hyped up series.....There is nothing to go overboard about it. There are some good performances and some poor performances thats about it....If we had lost it we wouldnt have cared. Remember Australia lost the CB series and the Richard Hadlee series last year and won the world cup. Cricket is becoming like Big Brother now

Errr maybe that India has till date played about half dozen such Mickey mourse tourneys Down under and won a big fat diddly squat :giggle: earlier

[Zakhmi]

tum nahin samjhoge... You won't understand, nevertheless, this has been a long long awaited win for an Indian cricket lovers.

[Dravid]

we beat the champs with a young team... IMAGINE what the future will be like :D :yay: :yay: :yay:

[coffee_rules]

I would consider this as big as the win in Perth. India had never won in Perth. India had never won the Tri-series in Aus. It went to finals 4 out of 6 times and had never won in its history. So, this victory is all the more historic.

the fuss is about aussies giving india BS for the last 2 months and now they've had their asses handed to them its poetic

toh baith ke maatam banayen kya??

[Zakhmi]

Yes, jo latest jeeta wahi Sikandar.

[umpire]

you are right its not big deal, but lets enjoy the moment.

[yoda]

it is a big deal. winning a ODI tri series is a big deal. winning a ODI tri series in australia is a big deal. winning anything is a big deal.

[Mr. Wicket]

Incredibly silly/ignorant to call it a 'micky mouse' (sic) series IMO. Most of these one-off masala ODI series that are designed to just fill up coffers or pointless FTP tour requirements are 'mickey mouse'... a series that has been around for roughly 30 years and been at the centre of cricket's revolution to the one day game with the original Packer World Series is far more significant. Whether it was the 'World Series', B&H, VB or Commonwealth Bank - the ODI series at the end of the Aus season has always been a major part of the cricket calendar and the source of some great cricketing moments involving the likes of Hadlee, Botham, the Waughs, Richards, Holding, Akram and co... so good to see India joining that list of winners, Tendulkar and some of the youngsters adding their names to that elite list of performers in the tri-series, and of course fantastic to see India winning against the best team in the world in two high profile pressure games. Channel Nine's coverage at the end of it though was quite pathetic... the moment they went for break when India won the cup, they produced some old images of Gilchrist firing away - yes, we know he's retiring, you've harped on about it all fking series long. The presentation/follow up was downright pathetic with a bunch of bureaucrats who couldn't get the players' names right (Andrew Gilchrist?) speaking, and not one bit of attention given to the fact that this would be the last edition of a 30+ year (counting Packer) tournament that's been one of the main focuses of the cricket calendar or some proper attention to the winning team. Instead a few shills for the sponsor, more shills for the Nine shows tomorrow and a few requisite tears for Gilchrist... ridiculous.

Yes, had we lost, there would have been a lot of people going bald from all the hair being pulled out. Now that we've won, it's no big deal. My mind goes back to that fateful last hour at Sydney. But for that weak-kneed surrender, the Test series would have been 1-1, and we would have had tamed the world champions at both forms of the game in their backyard. The umpiring decisions we had no control over, but we could have still saved that match with what was within our control. Sigh!

Exactly- wish somehow that clark over could be gotten away with

[ludhianvi]

well it might be a micky mouse tourney but with all the stuff that's gone on this tour, the victory is doubled in meaning especially for the players. This is also the first time that India won this triangular?

I dont think we would've come back this strong, winning at Perth and drawing Adelaide, and now the ODI series, had we drawn at Sydney.
