India vs Australia Series 2009 - Review of Past Series
|
Australia’s last visit to India came in 2008 when the visitors were beaten by the Indians 2-0 in the three-match test series. That series was the last for two Indian legends Anil Kumble and Sourav Ganguly who retired from international cricket following the series. India is always a threat for the opposition team while playing on home ground. Moreover, Australia has not been in good form recently following a series of retirements of some of their great players over the last few years,and friends we cant just forget that they are the winners of the recent champions trophy (2009.
