... particularly in the ODI format.
So Australia still are the World Champions. They finally managed to win the one tournament that had eluded them and also won the DLF Triangular prior to that against opponents who were at that point of time considered, well, dangerous.
However on both these occasions they dropped one game to the West Indies and people began to talk about the West Indies emerging as a serious challenger to Australia in the near future. The same West Indies however, are not having too easy a time in Pakistan. That Pakistan who was absolutely annihilated by South Africa last month. Yes, the same South Africa whom the West Indies thrashed in the ICC Champios Trophy.
Confusing enough ?
Let us try to summarize: Australia are still the World Champs, but West Indies emerge as a strong contender by beating them a couple of times and reaching finals before losing to them. On the way they thrash South Africa whom had in turn annihilated Pakistan. But now West Indies find the going tough against Pakistan.
Such is cricket, really. So I guess one shouldn't really devastate oneself too much over India's travails in South Africa. Because it all comes around in circles ...

nice summary - every other team has their fair share of bad days.
aussies just seem to have..well..days
that could be the funniest way to defend india's pathetic performance...
well, just to note: windies/pak/SA have performed well at least "somewhere" in "recent past"
india were thrashed 4-1 in windies, kicked out of DLF cup in the league phase, couldnt make it to ICCCT semifinals even on home-pitch, and further brutally annihilated 4-0 (thank you rain gods for not making it 5-0) in SA. that is pathetic!
Well you said it "could be" the funniest way of defending India blah blah ... Piece of info: It is not ... because there is not attempt to defend India anywhere. At least there was no intention of doing so.
"So I guess one shouldn't really devastate oneself too much over India's travails in South Africa."
What was that?
but yes, you are right! one shouldn't devastate oneself, but one should rather devastate this bloody indian team with its coach!!!
That was merely an afterthought and not the intent of the post. Anyways glad that you agree with me on that point. Personally I dont think we should devastate this Indian team either
