winning by 10 or 15 runs against Zimbabwe makes you wonder your team has the best batting line up?
[/QUOTE]
No losing to SL by 6 wickets is the best batting line up. India has a good batting line up as good as any one in the world right now.
[QUOTE]
Anywayz, if your batting is so good, how come you have an 18% win record and havent won in 16 years?
[/QUOTE]
Because our bowling has not been very good most of the times..and we accept that.

India avereging 270 against 3rd rate bowling of Zimbabwe, injury hit England bowling, SL without Murali, definatly even Kenya and Bangladesh can average that much.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah at least we didn't loose to that 3rd Grade team at home.
[QUOTE]
If India can play Australia on a green track their averages won't be more than 125 or 150 like you mentioned.
[/QUOTE]
Why should we play at Green track - If Mcgrath is good he will be good anywhere like Marshal,Holding etc. And by the way we won our World Cup at GREEN WICKETS against the Mighty English & West Indies.

Australia just had a bad day and none of us in here are jumping up and down about Pakistan's batting like you are to the Indian batsmans.
[/QUOTE]
Ohh - When Australia lost to any other team than Pakistan means they were having a bad day, But If they lost to Pakistan means Pakistan is a better team - Waah what a Logic.

Out of the current Indian batting lineup, only 2 of them play ODI only (Kaif, Yuvraj) The others who play both Tendulkur, Ganguly, Sehwag, Laxman, Dravid have been part of the Indian team for the past 2 years and they make the majority of the Indian lineup.

If you check the Stats properly - Shewagh,Yuvraj,Kaif were not part of that team in any of the matches against Aus & Pak - So YOUR STATS are INCORRECT.
[QUOTE]
With the exception of 3 or 4 innings, Indian batting is ordinary like others.
[/QUOTE]
I have seen India has crossed 225 7 times out of 12 which is not bad.
