When Ganguly's team went Aus Macgrath and Gillespie were unfit and both couldn't play at same time. But when Macgrath came in ODI series India lost.
Aus tour of India in 2001 was the only lose which would have hurt them most.
Hayden's partner was Gilly (one of the most destructive batsman) in ODI, so he didn't need to play aggressive.
Otherwise look at his contribution in IPL 1 and IPL 2. His SR was above 150 and average was above 50 and that is rare combination. I can't doubt on his destructive batting style.

whole australian team was good. I like steve waugh, even though he is not very technical he had the determination

S.Waugh is so far all time best captain of world cricket. Short pitch bowling was his weakness but still his average is around 50 in test cricket.

He may be one of the Good Batter. So you do Agree that Gilly is more destructive than Hayden, That's the point, if u compare IPL even Raina have same stats as Hayden. I m not saying Hayden is Crap and I said he is Better than Ponting But that comparison ends there.
Now Anurag on your own words u did Agree that he doesn't played Aggressive and That is what I m pointing out. I can't assume something which he hasn't done and Praise Him

I never claimed he is most destructive. I said the domination he had on the bowlers noone could have. Every destructive players give chance in his inning but beating Hayden was almost impossible whether he is playing aggressive or defensive.

Well. If you not destructive you are not dominating any bowlers. I don't think "no one" is Valid, there are many other Batters like Viv Richards are more destructive and Dominant over bowlers than any1 else in the world. I m not going to talk abt Indian Batsman. Beating him is not my worry.
Okay. Watever. I m stopping the discussion about Hyden with this message
India reached in 1987 WC semifinal. It was very good performance according to team ability. But still selectors sacked Kapil from captaincy after WC. I hope this will not happen in case of Dhoni.

Well, MS Dhoni struggling with bad Form however at present he can't be sacked from captaincy atleast Until V Kohli is ready and I don't think Gauti has to take over in the Middle Period, he has done an Attacking Captaincy against NZ but every Stop gap Captain does.
