    Reader's Take
    December 29, 2003
     
    Australia's nine lives!

    Can somebody please explain to me what is so great about hitting two double tons after being dismissed at least four times in both innings?

    Apparently the Indian media, unlike their counterparts in Australia, do not want to emphasise the fact that all the lbw decisions (some of which were clear as crystal to the naked eye) went against India.
