The job is 1/3rd done

Well done, the Indian cricket team. But the modern team that now clearly knows how to win away from home (and has to sometimes remind itself of how to do win at home :-)) needs to learn to avoid a historic trend. Indian teams have paradoxically been at their most vulnerable immediately after winning Tests abroad, given what has happened before in Australia (2003), Pakistan (2004), and West Indies (2002).

But what happened today was fun. There were a few parallels between the Australian and Indian wins today, with Flintoff and Pollock leading a late and doomed revival at the end, and veteran leggies Warne and Kumble seeing their teams through. The celebrations were similarly insane. Test cricket's better days.
