Oz and India ah rebuild. India much faster than Oz getting there."india side" just got beat 4-0 in Australia last year, Australia are a team on the slide but at home they are still dangerous.
west indies still nowhere and climbing down with 3 more years of the big Bimbo Gibbo to come.

Why are you comparing ODIs and test matches. There is huge difference between them.mapoui wrote:and by extension west indies stand exposed..as a truly low grade side

To win in India you must have very good bowling - pace and spin and a strong batting line up.
England won because they have a very good batting line up and Swann and Panesar matched whatever spin the Indians had.
I have not watched any of it but I see that Henriques got two good scores batting at #7. Could he be a new find for Australia?

I don't that much difference between tests and ODI....T20 yes.
its really the quality of the team you have right. if you are better at tests you usually are better at ODI too.
I don' hold those 2 forms as far apart as you do.
India is moving up much faster than Oz rebuilding.
I don't know if england will be able to defeat this Indian team soon enough in any format..even if/when Tendulkar leaves

Not rocket science and most teams are stronger in their home conditions.
The real Australian team is in India facing the same difficulties many teams before them have faced.
Australia played very well but with some soft dismissals they did not get beyond 400. In India, bat first and bat and bat especially on turning pitches.
Australia had India in real trouble but then came one of the most dominant test innings, in the context, I have ever seen. 224 at a strike rate of 85 took the game away from the Oz. Dhoni also Captained well in rotating his spinners in short spells so the batsmen could not get used to one style.
If anything, I think he should have opened up in the normal way but his tactics have worked so far.
There is no genuine comparison with the ODIs in Oz recently but Windies are we poor and Australia much stronger. Mitigation for Windies is they have several young players and they will get used to those conditions so come next time Windies should be better.

One of the reasons (but by no means the only one) is that by and large the wickets for ODIs are probably less slanted to the home side.
Your statement about England surprises me since England were in India just a couple on months ago winning a 4 test series 2-1 and a big part of that was the performance of both Panesar and Swann.
If this same Indian side went to Australia or SA they will lose the test series.
