The problem with this team is, there is no proven bench strength. When Greg Chapel took over, he increased the bench strength and he tried to give oppertunities for all the players eqaually so that the team doesn't get stranded like it does now. But, our team and BCCI politics drove him out and we continue to pamper our main star players. See what happened. A mediocre medium pace bowler is our spear head and when he is injured, team is totally lost. Present team doesn't deserve no.1 spot. It will be a great job if they come back without losing the series 0-4.

It looks like you a very intelligent guy.Greg Chappell concentrate on bench strength so India out from WC 2007 in the first round.Reason bench is strong but core team is week.
now the pommies will face the real indian team with a rampaging sehwag, striking gambhir, defending dravid (the wall), swashbuckling sachin, not to miss the ever dependable laxman, not dependable but effective kohli, cool captain dhoni..and the deadly battery of pace and spin bowlers.. england is bound to fail in the remaining matches.

You are Corrrect.India will be white washed 0-4.These Indian players are only fit to play Home soil.They can not win against,teams like England,SouthAfrica on their soil.
