CWG: India suffer huge 8-0 defeat against Australia

India were brought down to earth by a ruthless Australia who dished out a clinical display to spank the hosts 8-0 in a totally lopsided hockey final in the Commonwealth Games here today.
The Indians, who had pipped England in the shoot-out to make it to final and raise hopes of their first gold in the Commonwealth Gam, came up with a rather pathetic show when it mattered most and had to be content with the silver medal.
The capacity crowd at the national stadium, which included Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and a host of other diginataries, were left heart-broken as the hosts conceded goals with embarassing ease in the summit showdown.
