CHAIRMAN of selectors Krish Srikkanth on Monday hailed India’s 2- 0 Test series triumph over Australia, calling it a great team effort. Srikkanth said: “ I am happy and thrilled over Dhoni’s men beating the world’s best squad on our soil. I must say that the seven- year itch is over and slowly the transition is taking place. We will have to protect these players in order to prepare a winning combination in the 2011 World Cup. It is also necessary that we should keep maintaining this positive approach for winning matches both in longer and shorter versions of the game,” he added. Srikkanth also lauded Dhoni's leadership. “ Dhoni's captaincy has been remarkable and flawless.His analysis of the situation as to what is going to come and handling the job on hand has been exemplary,” he said.Former spinner EAS Prasanna termed the victory as a tremendous team effort. “ It’s a tremendous team effort.Australia have been completely outplayed and clinching the Border- Gavaskar Trophy should give new confidence to the Indian team ahead of the series against England,” Prasanna said. He also lauded younger players like Ishant Sharma, and Amit Mishra for delivering results from the word go. Meanwhile, former Indian pace spearhead Javagal Srinath was also effusive in his praise for the team, saying India had all waited for this moment. Srinath said the victory was possible because each and every player made contributions to the team's cause.“ Everybody contributed, but the senior players were consistent right through the series. It made a lot of difference in the end,” he said Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar said beating Australia was an oustanding feat. “We worked as a team. It is a great achievement, absolutely outstanding because Australia is a team which has been number one for the past 10- 15 years,” he said.
