Australia one-up on India
Most cricket buffs know that it's been quite some time since Australia beat India in a Test series, in India. In fact, it's been 30 years, to be precise. But how many really know when was the first time India beat the Aussies at home.
Mohandas Menon, the Board of Control for Cricket in India's official statistician, has the answers, in his summary of the Test matches that Australia has played against India, in India.
The dossier has quite a few suprises. Like Australia has won more matches in India than India has actually won against them. And many more. Here's a feast for statistics buffs. Enjoy!
