The Indian Cricket team comes to Bondi Beach

Following Australia's controversial defeat of India to achieve a world record equalling 16 consecutive test wins and amid the turmoil surrounding the future of the tour, the Indian cricketers came to Bondi Beach.

They got together on Bondi's famous white sand for a relaxing game of beach volleyball.


The guys played against each other.


None of them had ever played before but ball skills seem very transferable and it didn't take long before they got the hang of it.


Then the Bondi Lifeguards got in on the act and challenged the Indians.


It was a great challenge.


The Lifeguards soon found they were up against worthy opponents.


At the end no one knew the score, not even Sachin.


As a momento of the impromptu visit and the volleyball challenge Lifeguard boss Hoppo exchanged shirts with the Indian team manager in a spirit of great sportsmanship.


The great Sachin Tendulkar found time for a chat with Cathy and Michael. Straight to the pool room guys!!
