World of cricket 1: Topsy-turvy

An Indian team, playing at home with three fast bowlers and only one specialist spinner (that too in name only). An Australian captain winning the toss, putting the opposition in to bat, conceding 433 runs and behind by 300-odd runs at the end of day 2. This the same opposition that was pulverized by the Aussies 5-0 in a ODI series barely a week ago and that could barely manage to field a team after losing players to injuries and sex-scandals.

.....yeh kya ho raha hain ?? I guess that's why people talk about cricket being a 'game of glorious uncertainties' (for maximum enjoyment imagine Ravi Shashtri or even better Navjot Sidhu's intonation...)
