Never, in the last three decades has there been an Indian tour to Australia any worse than this. In the past there was usually at least one redeeming innings or spell that made the tour at least partially worthwhile. Having won the World Cup, the Indian team simply devolved into its state in the late nineties before they learnt how to play. Fat, unfit, lazy and above all, absolutely delusional. What was going through the minds of these players?
Sehwag: Forget England, we've got this.
1st Test: Australia v India at Melbourne - Dec 26-29, 2011

2nd Test: Australia v India at Sydney - Jan 3-6, 2012
Australia won by an innings and 68 runs
Zak: Right there's my three wickets, over to you boys!
*crickets chirping*

Dhoni: Hey I just realised I can sleep while standing up.

Graeme Smith: You think you've seen Aussie sledging...
Dhoni: Whoa innings defeat...
Dhoni: Lets go karting! That means you too Rahul, put that bat down.
Dravid: But there's a hole in it.
Sachin: Yep that century is coming...
3rd Test: Australia v India at Perth - Jan 13-15, 2012
Australia won by an innings and 37 runs
Warner: Oh yeah! All hail the next Matthew Hayden.
Sehwag: Thats funny, I thought Twenty 20 cricket was supposed to help us.
Warner: What's your batting average Virat, haha lol.
Ishant: Dude you've played like two matches.
Kohli: Come to India Warner, lets compare our !@#$% batting averages there you !@#$%.
Warner: Three words, Chennai Super Kings.

The Cricket Musings: Actual spinners might help too.
Dhoni: Somebody just ban me already.
Sachin: Yep... any minute now...
4th Test: Australia v India at Adelaide - Jan 24-28, 2012

Sehwag: Right as stand-in captain I call for more optimism and positive energy!
One 386 run partnership later
Sehwag: I need a better mentor.
Ishant: I declare myself the next Mohammad Sami.
Dravid: Did I just get bowled again!?
Sehwag: Guys guys relax... we beat them 2-0 in India remember! We've got this.
The Cricket Musings: That was only because Laxman saved you.
