True. I remember Wright writing (heh) about how when he first got there they were ridiculously unfit. When I was growing up, India were always a team that just relied on their natural talent and didn't really try and add layers onto that, so I think the stereotype is there for a while.Turbinator said:
Seriously? Australia don't have that reputation as far as I'm aware. If anything it's the idea that Australia can chase practically anything.Pedro Delgado said:

How many ODI series have they lost?

As Brumby had it. Getting Aus into those sticky situations is rather difficult of course, in the first place. Don't get me wrong, Aus have been extraordinary for many years, but no team is perfect and it is a weakness afaic.FaaipDeOiad said:

I often wonder that myself. We have plenty of one day cricket coming up, but there's been stuff all in the way of tests for the last couple of seasons. Also, we've only got two this coming summer, both against Sri Lanka. Now, I've got nothing against them, but they've been here the last two seasons and a bit of variety would be nice.Turbinator said:
