Brisbane: The last time India won a Test match in Australia was back in 2008 at Perth. The build up to the match was, in a way, very similar to the Test that got underway in Brisbane yesterday. All talk was about the pace of the WACA pitch, quickness of Shaun Tait and how Indian batsmen will be bounced out. Four days later India had won the Test.

Similarly, in the past couple of days, many felt the Indian batsmen were in for a torrid time against the express pace of Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood on the bouncy Gabba pitch. But as it had happened in Perth six years ago, the Australian pacers failed to bowl the right lengths and later ran out of ideas as India dominated the day.
