New Zealand?? Haha jokes.
The 3 teams you mentioned - India, Australia and Southafrica are very close.
With India - Yuvraj and Dhoni are not Consistent.
With SouthAfrica - Their whole batting line-up is always changing so they don’t always click.
With Australia - Mike Hussey and Ponting seem to be scoring well every two matches. When they do score they score big.
So the three teams have their own problems and can’t be separated.
As for SL?? your joking right??
Apart for Sanga, Mahela and Matthews the batting is ordinary. Apart from the three mentioned, most batsmen haven’t played outside subcontinent.

Sri Lanka does.. When they click they pile up monstrous amount of runs like 700+

You haven’t included Sri lanka here but I think India has the most formidable batting line up in tests. Then South africa but boucher is not as consistent as dhoni. Then comes Australia because Watson and katich are not so good in tests. You can’t trust haddin and north either. you can’t include johnson just because he has one hundred against his name. bhajji has 3-4 half centuries in his kitty, you should have included him also.

On paper, there isn’t too much between India and SA.
07/19/2010 at 5:00 pm
Its India !!! Though Yuvraj Singh is a weak point in test, he can be replaced by Suresh Raina anyday.
