Glenn McGrath gave a prediction that Australia will win the series 4-0 he said this before the Sydney test. Some people really expected to happen. But Australia was wrapped up within59 minutes on the last day at Adelaide Oval the only test in the series that India managed to take the fifth day. India was in culmination with the miserable year away from the home. They remain in the third spot on the rankings. The first wicket came when Ishant Sharma edged behind off Ryan Harris for 2, and that was closely followed by Wriddhiman Saha (3) also edging behind off Peter Siddle. The Indian bowlers were also below-par. Zaheer Khan finished with 15 wickets at 31.80, a decent result and an indication that he keeps working hard even in trying circumstances, and Yadav showed promise with his 14 wickets at 39.35. But Ishant Sharma's five wickets at 90.20, Ashwin's nine victims at 62.77, and the folly of picking Vinay Kumar at the WACA where disappointed.
