Away from home the averages are interesting:
Kaif: 39 = lower
Mongia: 27 = lower
Dravid: 53 = higher
Tendulkar: 34 = lower
Ganguly: 43 = Virtually the same
Hayden: 38 = higher
Gilchrist: 35 = higher
Ponting: 45 = higher
Lehmann: 31 = lower
Bevan: 56 = higher
Martyn: 40 = higher
Interesting that................
All I'll say is that it's a lot easier to fill your boots on the flat, slow wickets of India as opposed to the bouncy WACA or seaming 'Gabba.
Believe me, the Test averages away from India and in India are even more stark.

ok Indias batsman dont suck I should never have said that but.
Mongia and Kaif are still yet to establish there avrages and to be honest i doubt wether Kaif will avrage over 40 maybe 38-40 but no more (witch is very good by the way)
Mongia is not very good his performances in england were shocking so his avrage will come down and probably settle at around 30-33
Also i might mention indian batsman have a big advantage in getting higher avrages because batting in india is soo much easyer
if i remember the avrage score for ODIs in india is about 40 runs more a match than it is in australia and thats for all teams.
also the strike rates of the australian batsman are far betteer.

Yeah, they all have a good away record, except for Mongia, who would be axed in the WC and replace by Javagal to strengthen ur bowling attack.
All and all a superb batting lineup!

man this topic is turning really funny
if i can see india performing constantly beating teams like nz , aus and s.a and the rest at pitches like Australia and South Africa then my view would change
but so far
Australia is number 1
South Africa number 2
indias batting lineup on paper is heavenly but in a game they dont perform constantly and even if they do the bowlers let them down big time. With Srinath teaming up with Khan and Nehra doesnt suddenly mean " oh damn its the terrorizing trio eg McGrath Lee and Gillespie or Waqar , Shoaib and Akram "
i can see srinath playing a lot of cricket and if he brought suddenly on the cricket world again , he might as well sit home and eat a pie and watch india perform
