just two matches to play. After India’s poor showing in England last summer, it looks like this tour is headed for a washout too.Is the amount of Twenty20 and 50-over cricket Indian players are involved in to blame? It could well be a factor, as evidence suggests India’s supposedly stellar batsmen are often in an unnecessary rush to score. It’s also worth noting that the likes of Clarke and Ponting have largely steered clear of T20 cricket to concentrate on the longer, purer form of the game. Hussey, though, of course has had great success with the Chennai Super Kings T20 franchise.Whatever the reasons, India’s inability to compete is disappointing, because this team, on paper at least, should give Australia a real run for its money. Sadly, what promised to be a thrilling series is – like the one in England last year – fast-turning into a major let-down.You can follow Will and India Real Time on Twitter @WillMHDavies and @indiarealtime.More In cricketSachin Tendulkar: 40 Not Out Sachin Tendulkar's World Cup WaxworkRahul Dravid Gets Padma BhushanThe Destiny of Manoj Tiwary India Narrowly Misses No.2 Test RankingCorrections and Amplifications: An earlier caption for the picture in this article incorrectly stated that the batsman was David Hussey, instead of his brother Michael Hussey.
