Again if we look at above results - the margin by which it is winning is reducing day by day! Isn't it showing anything?

So India is also a very strong team! After the defeat against Australia - we have always won with Huge margin and all the matches were one sided. And look at last three matches and margins! It is getting better and better day by day!


One more thing - most of the opponents are talking about targetting Sachin and Dravid, so they are easily under-estimating or ignoring the fact the India do have players like Kaif and Yuvraj - very cool headed yet attacking batsmen. Evern after looking 5 vickets, now we are a team that should not worry about!
