British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has congratulated the Indian team for its success at Perth as they beat Aussies by 72 runs."I looked at the Indian victory over Australia, looking to get one more after 16 tests in a row. India went in such a spectacular way. It's a great tribute to Indian cricket," Brown said.
Prime Minister Brown, who is in India on an official visit, said he hoped that the awards committee would consider Tendulkar for a top British honour.
"Sachin Tendulkar is one of the greatest cricketers. It is not for me to decide honours, which is a matter for the independent honours committee. But I am sure that just as people recognise Sir Don Bradman and others who were awarded the honours, there is a strong case for those who make a huge contribution to the world of sports," he said during a press meet.

It was Aussies first defeat in Perth since 1997 and also Aussies first defeat in Australia since 2003. Sachin played a key part along with former Indian captain Rahul Dravid. Can Sachin make an another ton in Australia??
