Re: India got thrashed - so why am I happy ?
The situation in India and China is going to get worse in the coming years. These growing economies have sort of imported economy]technology with little idea of how to manage it. The industrialization and it's affects on global warming are going to be far worse than the west. People are neither educated nor capable of monitoring the growth.
As for the cricket, India doesn't believe it can beat Australia. They are not going to get an easier (subcontinental) pitch than what they had at MCG. Australian bowling was professional, not unplayable. Defensive batting is not going to win them matches.
