Best batting line up in the world

[fardin]

India is good,

If you have a good batting line up then you have to win matches againts teams like Sri lanka etc,

I dont see how you call india the best batting line up in the world,because at the moment they are being beaten by Sri lanka in the india oil cup.

Australia without a doubt

Wrong

Go tally up the runs scored by each indian batsman, in how ever many games, and do the same for the australian batsmen. Crunch some numbers, find out the team average, and im sure you will be pleasantly surprised

It's outright stupidity to compare batsmen to their opposite numbers and declare one team the winner. Batsmen don't play each other, they play the bowlers. So you can argue that Tendulkar, Dravid and Sehwag are the best no. 4, no. 3 and opener till you're blue in the face, but are Gambhir, Laxman and Ganguly as good as Hayden, Martyn and Ponting? Laxman and Ganguly haven't scored a century in 18 months. In fact, in the past 12 months, Australia have scored 17 centuries to India's 9.

Simply put, Australia has 4 batsmen averaging over 50, 7 batsmen averaging over 40, while India has 3 averaging over 50, 6 over 40 and don't have the fat tail like South Africa. Yeah, that's right, before you start a thread about who has the best lower order, it is South Africa. No doubts.

OK thanks for playing, end of thread.

Add the fact that this Aussie batsman never have to face McGrath,Lee,Warne
This really adds up to thier average
