It seems Australians are about to loose their dominance over the world cricket, and with the cards wide open it's we "The Indians ", who are favorites for the spot.
Having already grabbed the top slot in the Tests, The Indians are gearing up to snatch the crown from the mighty Australians.
In the recent held Test series, also known as "Border Gavaskar Trophy " ,the Australians bowlers failed to knock down 20 Indian wickets in each of the 2 test.This proves itself the quality of their attack in the absence of greats such as G.Mcgrath , S.warne . And losing both the matches despite making 400 plus score in the 1st innings of each test.
In the absence of legends such as Adam Gilcrist, Shane Warne, Glenn Mcranth, Mathew Haden (who could turn the game at their will) ,Australians are finding it hard to match the attacks of the best in the world, having failed to fill in the places left by the greats only adds to their agony.
Ricky Pointing, the current captain of their team has failed in grabbing a single victory on the Indian soil. And it seems he is diverting from the footprints of the earlier great Australian skippers.
As a matter of fact, Australia lost all the test of a series after 22 years ( they lost 0-3 to Pakistan in 1988 series.) in the recently test series in India.
With the world cup just around the corner, it would be interesting to see who hits the card this time around.
Australians would be favorites no doubt , but other teams are not far behind either.
India , England, S.Africa are equally hunger-struck for the prestigious trophy.
