I can't understand why sachin is always compared with australian players. If there are many good players in Australian team and every one is performing consistently that doesn't mean they all are better than sachin. They are performing bcoz their confidence level is too high and which is due to their winning streak from a long long time and that is bcoz whole team is performing all together not a single player. So it is not that all australian players are better than sachin! If Indian team would have been performing all together then sachin also might be far far better than now. Many other world class players like Brian lara, Jacques Kallis, Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Peterson having same problem.
