I still think you guys are underestimating your bowling massively. Yes, they had a welcome habit of bowling absolute dross against us, but on current form England are the best batting unit in the world; you won't come up against a side as strong as England this summer. We also came into the series with a ton of preparation, which IMO affected Johnson in particular - for years people have moaned that he gets wickets by inducing batsmen to nick balls they don't need to play. Perth aside, where IIRC the majority of his wickets were bowled/lbws, he didn't perform well, because England had clearly done their homework and knew exactly what to expect from him.
Take out the England series and Australia have bowled pretty well in the last 2-3 years; 3rd Test in South Africa aside, I can't recall many occasions where Australia's bowling has been utterly spanked - even the horror show at Lord's in 2009 was pulled back to a degree, only Strauss and Cook actually made any score of substance IIRC.
You've come off the back of an impressive win in Sri Lanka - although they're without Murali, Sri Lanka away is not an easy series to win, and your bowling unit bowled with good discipline and wrecked Sri Lanka in the 1st Test. Your attack will have home conditions, where they will thrive, and an Indian batting order that will have several holes. Sehwag's fitness is in doubt. Gambhir has never encountered Australian conditions and is susceptible to the shorth ball. Dravid, magnificent as he was in England, had a poor time of it last time out and the West Indies series for him will be key to finding form. Ditto Tendulkar and Laxman, who were poor in England. Whoever bats 6 will either be inexperienced, having never played in Australia, or crap.
Yes, the batting still looks weak and prone to collapses; in a 4 Test series I reckon they'll probably cost you a Test. But they'll be up against an utterly mediocre attack who really shouldn't pose you too many questions.
