This is my guess. On many occassions on Aussie soil, the tailenders saved us from double digit totals. We need good batsmen coming at number 6, 7 and 8 - can Yuvi, Dhoni and Pathan provide some sparkle?
To get out of difficulties, 1 must go thru it. chak de india.
Here v wanna say dat india will nevr fail in batting department, n dis is ridiculous as sum 1 was saying dat india will struggle to score evn 300 runs.. bt yea v r agreed dat getting 20 wicks will b lil difficult. bt itz nt impossible. if dey will play even upto their 70% den dey can get d 20 wicks easily..

My dear friend, i think india will struggle in the upcoming series against oz. we always had a bad record there. Only hope is UV, Dhoni, Pathan and RP. i dont trust others.

Sachin might not be the GOD [of course he is to this obsessed rediff reader] but considering the fact that he is very short in stature, Sachin has done pretty good in his career!!
I tell u guys,Its going to be amazing cricketing disaster for India in Australia... We are patting ourselves on the performance with PAK in India...what Crap..Pak are without Shoaib(as good as not there), Asif and Umar Gul, their best bowlers and we all know how the tracks were.. and Indians can never ever adapt quickly to foreign conditions whether it is Aus or NZ or SA or WI..by the time we wake up. we would have been 1-0 out of two or three matches... and by the time we get our act right..we would have lost the series....Infact out Batting would be serious disaster than our Bowling.. probably we have a better chance and a very serious chance in one days but surely not in tests guys...If we actually have to think of making a draw out of the series..we really have to play out of our skins and show the world that we have actually improved and the probability of that is very very less...sorry I am not sounding pessimistic but then its just my view...which sounds logical to me !!!!!!1

If Pak was without those players India was without bowlers too. So dont give different variations of the same equation. The fact is India kick Pak butt and is brimming with confidence to kick Aussie butt. Aussies dont hv Warne or McGrath. Lee, Tait & Johnson should be manageble. if you cant manage any fast bowling then India shouldnt be playing cricket at all. Indias better in bowling and slightly weak in the bowling department. Aussies not doin well against Kiwis. Dont lose heart India.

Your statement doesn't look pessimistic. I too agree with what you are saying.If Dravid open the innings and Yuvi in the team, it may not be that much disaster. I am expecting 1-1 series draw.

Kumble is smarter than that Dravid will not open, and Yuvi will get in only if the track is flat or if someone is injured. India will win the series 2-0, if the bowlers take 20 wickets.
