I kind agree that India seemed to be the one who could challenge the Aussies, based on the form then, Soon, appointment of Greg, kinda led to the fact that "Numero Uno" dream wasnt far behind which looked possible after victory over minnow teams. But then player outbursts, emails, etc happened which accompanied loss of form of inform players and injuries to key players.
When it comes to batting order, Im clueless! I find except for Sachin/Sreesanth/RP Singh/Munaf, no other player seems to have a fixed slot or rather a well defined role! May be It has provided Irfan and others essential batting practice but with the kind of rotation policy in place ... nothing our heads rotate!
In short, its a bit too difficult to say where we stand!
