He was expected to hold a calm head on his shoulders,

As the Indians landed for the Thunder Down Under

 

It all started with the toss in Melbourne,

Michael Clarke won and decided to make runs

 

Debutant Cowan and experienced Ponting,

Made the task for Indians daunting

 

India responded with two eighty two,

Before Hilfenhaus tore them into few

 

Australia earned a 51-run lead,

Not before the Indians started to plead

 

The Aussies propelled to the 2^nd innings score of two hundred and forty,

Courtesy of Michael Clarke and Michael Hussey going naughty

 

Indians needed to chase two hundred and ninety two,

But, Mahinder Singh Dhoni’s men had no clue

 

Siddle and Pattinson found the perfect line,

As Indians tumbled for one hundred and sixty nine

 

The Kangaroos went one up in the four-match series

And Indians were left tasting cherries and Raspberries

 

Sydney cricket ground hosted the second test,

With India winning the toss and choosing to bat

 

The Aussie pace battery used their brain,

As the Indians collapsed yet again

 

Shooting India out for one nine one,

The Australians went out for their turn

 

After being reduced to thirty seven for three,

Ponting, Clarke and Hussey started the run spree

 

A triple ton from Michael Clarke,

Left India with a mounting task

 

Needing four hundred and sixty eight to avoid the innings defeat,

Ben Hilfenhaus knew the best way to treat,

 

The Indians tumbled again prior to reaching their target,

As the Australians went back walking on the red carpet

 

Where Michael Clarke was declared ‘man of the match’

Mahinder Singh Dhoni’s XI was easily the flop of the match

 

With Perth and Adelaide to host the remaining two tests,

The Aussies are certain to turn the heat on their guests!
