its because everyone knew that.pakistan is now a weaker team than india.only if india manage to do that against aussies,then only we will know how much improvement is there(or there isnt any?).but i doubt as team's fielding is really pathetic and most of our batsmen dont like moving ball.so they r goin to have harrowing team in australia(INCLUDING DHONI,GANGULY,YUVRAJ,UTHAPPA).but who cares ,they will come back , hit few fifties on slow indian wickets,and retain their place.so, i feel dravid along with sachin r still the best in india as their techniques r not flawed.others have really terrible record abroad(outside subcontinent)!!!
