India lost one game and everyone is lashing at them . Come on guys India never improved by leaps and bounds.
First, India won against SL because they never deserved 2nd place. They won everything at home in SL where even AUS find it tough.
Second,SA is a truly 2nd ranked team in ODI's because of genuine reasons.
Thirdly, India is improving, look at the overall picture. Pathan was tried in the hope to develop his skills against seam bowling. I am sure Greg wants Pathan in Jaques Kallis mould. One who opened the bowling once and has been batting at number 3.
So if India beats a good team, doesn't matter they would be beating everybody easily.
I bet NZ, Pak, SL at home, AUS all can still beat India comfortably and rankings show that as well. So India is improving slow and steady. They had been the worst ODI team before SL series.
So I am happy to wait-out this year and judje the overall picture. So far, bottomline; India is good but not that good yet.
