From now on, if I ever watch an Australia Match where India is not playing, there's a chance that I will watch it without bias.

Earlier, I used to hate Australia's guts.

The change of heart has resulted from the Aussies total dedication on the field during the Final on Tuesday, (I am sure the dedication was always there. I somehow must have overlooked it), the pretty modest speech Clarke gave on the podium after winning the man of the match, and the almost human way in which Harvey and Williams blushed/smiled when their skipper or Manjrekar mentioned their names during the award ceremony.

Mind you, I still disapprove of the Aussie's UnAbashed Arrogance,their resorting to sledging and Unfair play despite being the best team in the world (Martyn's by-runner was accused of taking unfair starts when Martyn was batting on Tuesday), and the savage way in which some of their bowlers celebrate wickets. But one human must forgive another for his follies ( How do you like the patronizing touch? :-) and so I forgive Australia and hope that there is hope for them yet.
