Who, currently do you think has the best batting lineup in the world. For me, India are miles ahead of anyone, i was looking at there batting lineup at the moment and it is incredible, there coming off a 700 test match innings and now a 414 in there most recen ODI. For me they are miles ahead, they have the sheer brut force of Dhoni and Sehwag, and the pure class of players like Dravid and Tendulkar, then they still have brilliant bastemn like Laxmann, Ghambir and Yuvraj Singh, not to mention that other dude that made 86 in debut. I reckon there the best Team in the world in both main forms of the game atm.

after India id have to say its to hard to split between SA and Australia, then rounding off id have England then Sri Lanka, then West Indies closly followed by New Zealand (Vettori is all class) and lastly Pakistan, i dont think the west Indies batting lineup is that bad at all, but i dont rate there bowling lineu at all, Roach and Benn are ok, Bravo is ok, Darren Sammy and Rampul are crap imo.

Thoughts?

you've serverly underated pakistan and overated england.

South Africa for mine

Smith is best opner in the world
Amla is a gun
De Villiers is gun
Duminy will be best batsman in world in 2-3 years
Kallis has a proven record
Boucher is good keeper/batsmen

India
South Africa
Australia
Sri Lanka
Pakistan

That would be my top 5.
