World champs lose to world champs

It's true what a great cricketer once said - "Indians always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"

How true did this turn out to be in the second ODI between India and Australia. India again had the Aussies in trouble just like the first ODI, after the initial batsmen fell early. But Hayden played really well and got the Aussies out of trouble. I really believe that Aussies are the world champions in the 50-50 format. There is no team that can match up to the might of Aussies, barring South Africa to a few extent. Even SA have to play out of their skins to beat Aussies.

I feel that the remainder of the one-day series will go on the same way as the second ODI. Aussies are the real 50-50 format champs and Indians the Twenty-20 format champs.
