India was riding high in December 1999 after a home series win against New Zealand. They were going to Australia and the team was young and energetic with Sachin Tendulkar as captain. Dravid and Ganguly had established themselves as test players and Azhar was there. The only worry was the opening pair but the team looked Ok.
Days before the departure Jaywant Lele the BCCi secretary said the team would loose 0-3 to Australia in the three match series. He received a lot of flak from all the corners for demoralizing the team. I dont know how it happened but India lost 0-3. I tried to search for the story online but now it comes out that Lele is denying he ever said that.
I wonder why; it was his fame to claim
