Definitely a comparison worth making. Both are the best top 3 of their respective eras (arguably).
Australian top 3 helped them win 2 Word Cups, (In the CT06, they had Watson in place of Hayden)
This Indian top order has so far not been able to win them a major tournament like WC yet, but that could very well be changed next year in 2009.
Just considering the top 3 and you could choose the no. 4-11 yourself, who would you pick?
Obviously there are/were competitions for both top 3's, Australia of early noughties had Tendulkar,Sehwag/Ganguly,Dravid who were also amazing.
Plus South Africa also had a formidable top 3 from 2003-2007 with Smith,Gibbs,Kallis.
At the moment, no top3 comes closer to indian counterpart except maybe England's. Roy,Bairstow/Hales,Root. England's top 3 may not be as good as Indian top 3 because England's team is composed of solid aggressors from top till bottom which compensates for the consistency factor of top 3.
As a neutral, I am asking, Which of the top 3 do you think is better? Indian current top3 or Australian 2000s top3
It's brutally close for me to pick one, but I might go with Australian one because of their openers better adaptability(subjective).
