I always laugh when Indian cricket calls anyone arrogant.

Not saying Australia isn't, but hey, when you have accomplished what they have you have a reason to be arrogant.

Think it was a loss we had to have, like the CB last year where be backed up and won the world cup undefeated, again. The team needs a bit of a shake up, the batting line up has had a certain lazy demeanor all series. Once again they've been exposed by swing (Ashes 05, now Sharma and Kumar). Pretty poor series all round though, their bowling was alright but their batting and fielding was pretty abysmal.

The Indian team has serious potential though, finally they are playing to their ability. With the team they've had for the last 5 years they should have been doing a hell of a lot better than they have, finally they've seemed to get their shit together and start playing to their potential. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Between Australia, India and South Africa the next few years should be really good cricket.

"Australian captain Ricky Ponting admitted India outplayed them in the one-day finals. A more graceful captain would also have admitted that India had out-behaved Australia all summer."

yup, threatening to take your team home sure is good behaviour and playing in the spirit of the game isn't it.
Seriously, the hypocrisy is astounding.
