At some point in the 1990s, around the time that the West Indies started to fade, India started figuring out how to play Australia. And while others continued to be swept away by the baggy-green tide, the Indians stood their ground. Apart from one disastrous tour in 1999-2000, ruined by appalling selection as much as anything else, India have fought Australia to a standstill on more than one occasion.
No you white man slave SOB - Australia have lost more often than they have won against India, in the period you state. Much more than fighting them to a standstill on more than one occasion.
There are intriguing facets to these Indo-Australian jousts. One country has produced the finest cricketers and teams, from the days of Spofforth, through Trumper, Armstrong, Bradman and the Chappells, to Ponting. The other has the world's largest captive audience for the game.
The mofo talks as if Indian cricket is exicting just because of its captive crowd. Heard of Chandra, lala amarnath,Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dravid ..and a dozens more ?
In recent times, clashes with Australia and Pakistan have been marred by distressing levels of jingoism. That's unlikely to be the case here, with the intensity found on the field of play rather than in the stands. Given that the alternate appears to be monkey noises or chants of "Pakistan hai hai", it's perhaps better that way.
The shameless traitor derides the Indian crowd here.
