Forget Indo-pak, forget Ashes.. here's India-Australia cricket matches that gets the fans glued to their TV screen. Today, at toss, it was an easy decision for Aussie captain who elected to bat.. Even India's captain Dhoni didn't hide his disappointment by saying his team's strength is to bat first and defend a score. now that they bowled first - Ishant-Sreesanth made sure they get early wickets and although Michael Hussey played the lone hand - Australia were cut short of total they would have been happy with. They were never in hunt, although few lose strokes from Indians batsmen did set some jitters in camp..
