Australian media praised Indian youngsters and highlighted off spinner Harbhajan Singh for having the ‘last laugh’ after he was involved in a number of racism rows during around two and a half month long tour.
"As cricket became a contact sport, Australia were pitchforked out of the finals in straight sets by an Indian side which had the last laugh after a bitter summer of explosive tensions," said leading newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
Australian Associated Press (AAP) also reported similar sentiments under the title 'Australia sunk in straight sets'.
"Instead of a fitting ODI farewell for retiring wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, it was controversial spinner Harbhajan Singh who laughed last and loudest, lapping up the triumph on the Gabba boundary in front of ecstatic expat fans," the paper said.
Headline of the main article in another national daily The Australian aptly summed up the tour as it said – A summer of spite ends in Indian glory.
"A fresh, young India beat Australia by nine runs in last night's ultimately gripping second final at Brisbane's Gabba to wrap up the competition after winning by six wickets in Sydney on Sunday."
I guess it is too much to expect my fellow countrymen to accept a victory gracefully. No - true their style they just can't help being loud brash insensitive gloating and petty. Well it may be okay with most folks but to me it just seems to lack class.
Good day for Indian Cricket Congrats for Little Master
