Aussies, Windies win Test

Efficient Australia beats India and a resurgent West Indies beat RSA.

The only Indian players who reached over 40 are Ganguly and Laxman. The rest failed to impress, unfortunately. It seems that we will see a lot of new faces in the future Indian team. This series may mark the end of many players !

There is a always a cry from the crowd to blood youngsters, as it was the youngsters who brought the T20 World Cup. Many players who played a stellar role like Sehwag, Yousuf Pathan, Joginder Sharma, Sreeshant etc have been left out, as the Indian selectors opted for experience. If India loses like this, it is better to try out the youngsters. Ishant Sharma impressed in the last Test against Pak. Youngsters were found to be more agile in the field. It is better to give the youngsters a chance, than lose with oldsters !

For RSA, only Kallis gave some resistance, with a solid 85. The rest of the batsmen failed to cope up with the situation, giving WI her win !
