It is great to see India winning back to back matches in the 2009 series between two of the worlds biggest cricketing powerhouses. First match Australia won convincingly only to jolt Indian team out of slumber, which proved beneficial for the hosts.
Second match was exceptional as Skipper Dhoni turned it around for the Team India, it's been a nicely built innings carrying a knock out punch on the opposition. And his innings blew air out of the Australian team long before they started to bat second.
The third match played today at Kotla on a slow and difficult pitch again proved helpful for Indian players as most of the inexperienced Aussie players could not have read, that was going on or accustomed to it. Tour to Indian subcontinent is always difficult for the visiting teams. Only seasoned campaigners like Ponting and Hussey could make some difference to guide their team out of this phase.
The fourth one dayer will be an interesting contest between the teams, with the pitch expected to carry bounce, it should support the visitors.
