Some of them might have begun to believe that the minnows have come of age. Yes, the success is a real booster for them . But we should still not feel smug. We will have to go a long way before competing on equal terms with the elite members of the Test Club. That may not be far away, boys!

So prepare yourselves for a real fight. I can visualise our batsmen facing the torment of the Australian pace attack with great ease and comfort. The rabbits will emerge as real Tigers. There will be no criticism, no objectionable remarks from the biased television commentators who do not have the courage to say anything against the superstars or the best teams.
