Unfortunately for India, they lost by a narrow margin of 5 runs against a champion side. The match was at a critical stage when India had just put their nose ahead. A casual second run resulted in the "run out" of their captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, which was an unsavoury end to her stupendous innings.
Her departure was the catalyst that revived the Australian spirits. The Indian women, thereafter, fought well, however, the untiring and tenacious fielding efforts by the Australians, kept them just ahead.
The captains of both sides showed exemplary leadership. They were determined to lead from the front and Lannings for Australia and Kaur for India were superbly brilliant in their batting display.
The famous song, "Give me one moment in time" sung during the 1988 Summer Olympics by Whitney Houston comes to my mind. Harmanpreet, heartbroken and teary-eyed, will forever remember that moment in which she erred on the...

New Delhi, Dec 19 (Ians) It was a sunny day on June 24, 1974, when India were all out for 42 -- their lowest innings score then in Test cricket -- against England in London, and it was a bright day in Adelaide on December 19, 2020, when India broke that dubious record, pointed out illustrious former spinner Bishan Singh Bedi. He played that match at Lord's over 46 years ago and on Saturday, watched the third day's play of India's first Test against Australia on TV at his Delhi residence.
One difference between the two undesirable 'feats' was that the ball didn't swing at Lord's, but it moved at the Adelaide Oval. Another was that in 1974, one Indian batsman -- Eknath Solkar -- reached double figures, while on Saturday, all players from the visiting team were dismissed for single-digit scores. Solkar was unbeaten on 18 runs off 17 balls (105.88), comprising two boundaries and one six,...

New Delhi, Dec 19 (Ians) India's lowest Test innings total of 36 on Saturday at the Adelaide Oval against Australia is in many ways different from their previous lowest of 42 that Ajit Wadekar's team managed in 1974 at Lord's against England.
Though there was one major similarity -- India did not lose all 10 wickets as the No. 11 on both occasions was injured.
To start with, the Lord's innings came after the Indian team was already under the cosh following on in the face of a 327-run deficit. England had hammered 629 in the first innings and India could reply with 302 in their first. India already had their backs to the wall entering the second innings back then, unlike this time when they went into the disastrous second innings with a 53-run lead in first innings. In fact, nine runs were already added to the lead for the loss of just one wicket on Friday night,...
