i still remember the day 4. its morning 9:30 AM, me and my brother were watching the game and we requested mom not to switch off the TV until a wicket falls. My mom thought India is on the verge of collapse and said ohk i will switch off the TV if the 5th wicket falls. Dravid and lakshman batted the whole day 😂😂and the TV is on till 5 PM. had one of the good childhood day.

As a late 90's kid this Australian team actually gave me chills. Imagine how damn dominant a team can be, even a random supporter can feel the tremendous aura this Australian Team gave off. Then Came this EPIC test match. I still remember cheering with my father, class 1 kid cheering for Test match who has 0 idea of Follow On. Boy this match, Dravid and Laxman, shining like Damn Sun.

[@siddarthbalakrishnan9657]

Ik that this Australian team was truly incredible but it wasn't like they dominated India in their previous tour of the country either. India bullied Australia in 97-98 winning the test series with the same scoreline 2-1 but only lost the 3rd test. They won the only test in 96-97 as well. Australia never had a great record in India hence it was known as final frontier for them. Of course this Australian team was almost certainly superior to the 97-98 team but keep in mind that the 97-98 team was also considered the best in the world at the time and had at that point already won everywhere in the world except India
