India is much better than the Aussie team

and should have been all over the Aussies by now. As I write India can still win from here, but to think that on this docile track India lost a crucial toss, dropped watson twice and he went on score a century, got Ponting of a No Ball and he made a 60, dropped Payne who made a half century, Lost Ishant Sharma bowling in the first innings and Laxmanwas unfit for his batting, had one really woeful decision against Dhoni which triggered a collapse, did not get two plumb LBWs in the 2 nd innings and yet we have a chance to win says as much about Indian team which is not playing at its best and as of much of Australian side. Indians have shown the intensity but not the basics. Watching Ishant bowling right now, I don't believe any bowler including Zaheer has looked so lethal on this pitch. I hope this gives him confidence.

..if we were better, then we should have snatched the chances..but we never on the ball, close but never on the ball. Games has still some time to go, lets wait and watch and I hope kiwi dev anand is as sharp as he was when we bat

Turn it up mate - the Indians have no one to blame but themselves. If India were a better team they would be doing the basics well and probably would be miles ahead.

Indian's are certainly not better, looking at how SA played and how these 2 are playing, it seems the days of One team dominating the world cricket is over, all teams have vulnerabilities and strengths, unfortunately in India's case, they are pissed poor in fielding and often lack ability to read the situation.
