Australia heading for another world record

The win against India today was Australia's 15th in a row since the Melbourne Test against South Africa in December 2005 when it registered a 184-run win. Australia is now heading for world record of most consecutive wins in Test cricket. The current record is of 16 consecutive wins also held by Australia between 1999 and 2001.
Interestingly Australia's victory march was interrupted by India last time. So, it will be interesting to see if India can stop them once again from achieving a new high.
