In the subsequent matches, it feels like cricket is meant for Australia only and we cannot change the rule. But in the 17th cricket test match between Australia and India, India had changed the rule and stop Australia from making another record. Australia had been winning 16 consecutive matches and had already made a good record but if they won the 17th test match also, then they might have created a history in the game of cricket. It was really a good win for India and there was no doubt in the game that Australia still could do better. In most the time, the game of Australia is unpredictable because any player can do a good batting and also any of the blower can bowl well in a particular day. But in that particular day, it was quite certain that India would win the match.
Also it one of the greatest test win in the history of the captain Anil Kumble. This proves the very effectiveness of the captain Anil Kumble. His decision of giving a chance to the part time spinner, Virendra Shewag was really a wise move. Shewag bowled well in the whole match and could stop two batsmen for Australia. He took two wickets in the first eight balls. And also the man of the match, Irfan Pathan also did a good job in the match and it marks the best return of the player in the test series. But it is quite funny to know that Australia won 16 test matches consecutively and just wondering how can they maintain their form. Well, it is the time to celebrate for India because they could stop Australia at last.
