Though World champion Australia play in this series with their experimental side but still this is huge moral boosting performance by Indian side ... Beating them in three matches in their own den after losing the first match ... After losing the first match lopsidedly our side fought back in remaining matches ... In this our defense and goal-keeping stand-out with their performance ... Other hand we manage to penetrate Aussie defense but our strikers still struggle with finishing touches inside opposition D ... Defense shows huge improvement and hopefully they will keep improving under Walsh ... After longtime we are seeing some positives against top-side of hockey ... Now hopefully our team build on this performance in coming Champions trophy.
