Shameful performance in Twenty20 Practice match

Before India played Australia in a one-off Twenty20 match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, India had lost just one International Twenty20 match… against New Zealand in the ICC Twenty20 World Cup last year. By the time the match ended, India had not only lost for a second time but also achieved the dubious record of scoring just one more run that the lowest Twenty20 international score ever.

The big crowd at the picturesque MCG felt let down that a Twenty20 match did not last for even 30 overs. Not surprising as on the previous day the Indian captain Dhoni had shockingly called the match a “practice match”. The Indian fans can only hope that the Indian team has finished their “practice” and will pull up their socks for the ODIs.
