Do you miss India-Australia matches?
Folks i have just realized that cricket is nothing without India-Australia rivalry. We and Pakiz are now friends and Pakistan hasn't been performing well in last few years.So India-Pakistan rivalry is almost dead. All other cricket matches are so friendly,so uncontroversial. No drama,no monkey business. India-Australia series was real cricket.We fought with each other everywhere.We fought on the ground, we fought off the ground,we fought in the media,we fought in the courts. We even dragged icc into our fight.lol We brought streakers into stadiums. Now India-Australia series is over,and cricket has become a boring sport again. No fighting.Umpires are tension free. Damn. I miss India-Australia matches.

- very much
- Yes, India-Australia matches are exceptionally fought. I simply love them.
- I too miss them Montitude....
- LOLZ.............i can't stop laughing on this one......... By the way read that there is a india-aus 3 day match starting tonight(in floodlights) abt jaipur. Its for some shooting porpose.......Brett lee and haydos are there. Is there any way to see this thing?????
- Actually what we are missing is the peripheral controversies around these matches (like a good saas-bahu drama). Else, there is good, probably better cricket on view between India and SA. Which goes to prove that cricket unfortunately took a back seat in that series.
- You are right about the excitement,the rivalry,the adrenaline that is undoubtedly asociated with india Australia matches. But now cricket may be boring,but during those matches cricket has become ugly,with all sort of controversies,name calling,scandals. Healthy rivalries like the ones that exists between India and Pakistan and England and Australia during the Ashes are good. India Australia matches made cricket anything but a gentleman's game. It even made the relations between the two countries got sour. Personally,iam glad it got over.
- What a thought! I love them too. The excitement is not just there with India V S.A. I miss the IND V AUS matches. Oh well, I'm looking foward to IPL for a similar action. Enjoy Life Ciao!
- I can't describe in words.
- each team playing australia plays with high spirit and aggression, even there were controversies in ashes. Its that all team want to beat Australia to be no 1. For doing that they go for Kill and aussies are always there which creates exitement. India is not exception. Pakistan team is now became even bad than their ICL counterparts even now a days pakistan fans like ICL matches than their Main team. But its True now a days watching India v/s Australia is a Different thing with lot of Excitement.
- No, not really, no!
- Oh yes! I especially miss Symonds. Now I can't wait for the IPL to start to see all the Aussie players again.
- s i do ..... but i will miss terribly if india wins tht match
- i wnt miss if india loose tht match....
- You want them to play every week? Yes I agree,, there is no more interest in Ind-Pak matches.
- i dont miss it
- yes i miss sachin tendulkar,ricky ponting,shreeshant,gambhir and also steve bucknor and hayden
- TRUE PAL.. IT WAS ALL INDIA VS PAKISTAN FEW YEARS BEFORE..NOW ITS INDIA VS AUSTRALIA...WHERE U HAVE THE TRUE FIRE ON FIELD...THE BOOM TO CRICKET.....
- it was damn interesting mate i miss bhajji-symonds-haddos rivalry very much!!
- hehehe funny statement but it's true doesn't it? am kinda like the dramas lol, especially the fighting here in yahoo answer hahaha... will gonna have to wait till october this year for the next match..
- u no wat me 2 buddy i want them back so we could kick their but and get the pride of beating the #1 team in the world
- Oh its so true....the matches on Australian grounds were also on nice to watch on TV....the home series is looking so dull...the grounds also dint look good....i really don't have any interest left in the SA series not bcoz we lost the match but since the first match itself. Whatever happened in Aus was not good for cricket(sledging/monkey stuff etc) but it was gr8 fun to watch the rivalry between two teams...not once did i feel the boredom watching those matches. I hope IPL provides some much needed action in the matches!
- yes i am missing india-australia matches as it were good matches as both are the teams who never try to loose
- Hi, Yeah miss them a lot.... Good Competition , Great Rivalry, its a real treat to watch two great champion team to go head to head Cheers
- I too miss the matches with the Australian team.They were really entertaining and exciting.
- Yes. They were good and interesting. And tes, Pak-India matches have lost their magic. A good game of cricket is required. ICL today is so pathetic.
- no
- I fully agree with you. No cricket series in the recent past has attracted so much world attention as the India-Australia series did. There were lot of interest not only while the match was in progress but both before and after the match and I do not think that Australia had such a tough series for a long time.
- Yes I am fully agree with you.
- I really miss the Ind-Aus series and the way it was played even though the spirit can only be seen by angels. I thing, I want to remind and reminded myself is not to fall to the trap of BCCI and media. Just go back one year at the same time where was India and Pak cricket. It was in shambles being out of WC and not qualified and add to it the death of Pak Coach. Soon came few series of cricket, India winning in Eng and against BD. Then came this Aus tour where everyone was assuming India will loose badly. But it turned out to be a close contest both in Tests and ODI, except for a few. But add to it, all the drama and hype caused by players, media and boards. Include ICC to it. I disagree the rivalry between Pak and India is not there. It is still there and it is a special friendship and rivalry at the same time. Pak players have injuries and specially the main bowlers and also the Indian pace bowlers. I will take the Ind-Pak series any day, any time and it is always played in great interest. What I do not like is the one-sided affairs as we are seeing in SA-Ind series. SA has been dominant so far and Indian bowlers have not come to terms on their own pitches. That is the problem. We do not see any controversies, which is good for the game, but one-sided games are always boring whether it is SA or Aus or Eng or Pak. A close fight even in case of a lost cause is interesting than winning one way all the time. That is what the game is about. Related to umps, let us all give them a break....they deserve more in the Indian hot summer. Pitches and Indian adjusting to their own pitch is the problem. Wait until the Aus come to visit India.
- lol you're so right....Those matches were exciting to watch!!
- ohh yea..
- We haven't recovered from the last lot Monti! lol. But I guess it did cause some lively discussion here & some raised eyebrows throughout the cricketing world.
- I think I really miss it..........
- Yep.I even miss England matches.
- very much... woh match hi kya jisme koi hulchul aur ladai hi na ho...LOL.
- India-Aus matches are gold. I'm of Indian heritage living in Australia and it's just fun. (I go for Australia, by the way).
