Poetic Justice

Undoubtedly, this is India's best win abroad for the following reasons:

1. It happened in Perth. Except for the Caribbeans in the 80's (with their barrage of fast bowlers) no team has beaten Australia in Perth. India is the only team that can claim a rivalry against Australia since 1992.
2. It happened after the ugly incidents in Sydney.
3. It was complete team effort with everyone contributing in the bowling and some spectacular knocks by all recognized batsmen.
4. Anil Kumble's captaincy and diplomacy in this tour.
