The Wheel is Forever
Only when it comes to Indian bowling. Which is borne from decades of failure.R_D said:

No it isn't! Our pace attack is better than Pakistan's and Australia's, throughout history and even now. Maybe if you combine the Pak and Aussie attack, you'll be able to beat the pace attack of India.silentstriker said:

In the one-day series, there are several questions to be asked ...
Will Sehwag finally show some semblance of consistency at the top or is he ready to get the (unlikely) chop at the expense of Gambhir, Uthappa or (!) Ganguly?
Will Raina get among the runs and earn his spot for the World Cup on the basis of his batting and not merely his athletic fielding?
With the absence of Yuvraj, who will emerge in the middle-order and who will make way for Laxman or Badrinath?
Will Pathan regain his touch and realize that his main role is that of a strike-bowler and not a #3 batsman?
Will Kumble and Zaheer come back strong and lend some much-needed vigor to the Indian bowling attack?
In the test series, other questions arise ...
Will the Indian lineup stand up and grind it out on seaming pitches against quality seamers?
Will the famed Dravid-Tendulkar-Laxman middle-order fire as a unit and lend some vitality to the Indian lineup?
Will Dhoni prove himself as a test-class batsman on foreign soil against the likes of Ntini?
As his one-day success slips, will Pathan regain his poise and become a force in the test side or prove that he's simply cannon-fodder in this version?
With Pathan especially reeling in the test fofrmat, will the Munaf-Zaheer-Sreesanth trio give India some formidability in the pace department?

My head just exploded reading that. I must be in the bizzarro-world, where India keep producing wold class seamers and Australia keep producing flat-track bully batsmen. I like this world.Turbinator said:

No, we still choked in the final. I said bizarro world, not 'going against the laws of nature' world.Dravid said:
Can't agree with that. Pathan, Patel and Shreesanth have got potential but you can't say at this moment they are as good as Australia or England's pace attack. Maybe as good as Pakistan in their current diminished state. And as for Agarkar and Zaheer Khan...Turbinator said:

I wouldn't really agree with that! India aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be! On their day they can perform...IMO, one bad performance against the aussies doesn't show much! Apart from the dismal Pathan, bowlers like munaf, sreesanth, agarkar and especially Harbhajan have been O.k. Certainly better than the current pakistani team.
