Final Frontier

Sunday, October 31st, 2004

Well it has happened. After 35 long years Aussies have beaten India in India in a test series. Though everyone seems to promote it as the Final frontier, as Gilly said, it may have been for Steve Waugh, but not for him and the current team. The better team won and congrats to them.
