Today's match has made me appreciate...

I'm takng about T20 alone mate.. The Aussie combination of batting,bowling,fielding and Hussey would be more than handful for anyone on any pitch.. On a patta subcontinent pitch this Aussie batting can match any line-up we can put up

But their biggest advantage is Warner, Watson, Tait, Nannes, Bollinger, Harris, D Hussey, M Hussey get to play in IPL and more they play more they will be masters of subcontinent conditions. They will get used to the angles of different grounds. I wish IPL take place in Australia once where our players can get used to their big grounds.

We beat a pretty strong Aussie side

Actually Australia was more or less coasting before Sreesanth's two wicket bursts. He bowled both Hayden and Gilly. They were in the game for a long time while chasing.

we didn't beat THIS aussies side in T20..this is the real deal..I dont think we'll beat THIS aussie side even at home.

I think you missed the point... beating ANY aussie side in a crucial must-win game is a big deal and in recent times India's win in 2007 is the only instance I can think of. By the way the 2007 aussie side was a pretty formidable unit as well with Hayden, Gilly, Symonds in there who were still at their peak. Bowling-wise they had India on the ropes with India being 40 odd for 2 after 9 overs. It was a sublime Yuvraj (70 off 30 balls!!) who took us to the total we got (180 odd), and there weren't too many pie-chuckers in that bowling lineup.

I would put an opening combo of Hayden and Gilly with Symonds in the middle and Hussey much above this lineup's batting. Bowlingwise too we faced a tougher attack (considering everything, including pitches, had it been Barbados, I'd admit this attack would be more threatening) Hayden > Warner Gilchrist > Watson Clarke 07 > Clarke 10 M Hussey = M Hussey A Symonds > C White B Hodge = D Hussey B Haddin = B Haddin Easily we bowled to the better attack Bowlingwise Johnson = Johnson Lee 2007 > Nannes Bracken = Tait Clark >> Smith Symonds bowler > Watson bowler
