India Tour of Australia 2011-12 Match Fixtures
Last time India were in Australia, it was a firework of a series with some controversies and plenty of high quality cricket. Aussies retained the Border-Gavaskar tests trophy but India went on to win the Commonwealth Bank tri-series. Cricket Australia scrapped 14 year long tradition of annual CB tri-series since then but now, with India returning, tri-series returns too, with Sri Lanka as the third team..
