Are India the new leaders in cricket?

After a crunching win in the first final and a thrilled filled second final victory, India have won the CB Series outplaying Australia in every department of the game in the finals. The tri-series must be ranked as one of the toughest tournaments in the game, alongside the World Cup and Champions Trophy.

Most keen observers of the game would agree that if the umpiring in the Test series had been competent, India would have at least drawn the series if not won it.

Clearly, India are now at par with the world champions, if not better than them. It would make the trans-pacific rivalry the premier contest in the game.

India had also won the Twenty20 championship in South Africa, and the Under-19 team has recently won the junior world title in Kuala Lumpur.

Have India rewritten the new world order in cricket?
Is this good run a short, passing phase or a sign of things to come? Most importantly, can India win the 2011 World Cup?

I wish life wud have been a match of kickboxing.... i cud have got punched...and that before i could even start feeling the pain in my jaws... everything wud have been lost.... but my life has been more like a bike race ( i never had a bike of my own though) where on every rising gear... u become able to gain more speed.... but the power that provided you the strength to get there drops down... And quiet ironically so....balancing it requires effort and there is no reverse gear in a motorcycle. A sport that i would never want my life to be....!!!??? archery. Remember the old saying... 'Kamaan se nikla teer kabhi wapis nahi aata', i would hate a life where everything is irreversible
