Has Australian cricket turned the corner?

Peter Roebuck believes that “Australia's cricketers are picking up the pieces after losing to England, with Michael Hussey, Nathan Hauritz and Shane Watson showing the way and concludes “By the look of things these fellows have risen from the Ashes”.

Now one agrees with Roebuck that Australian cricket has made a fool of its doomsday prognosticators and made a smart around.

However, the question is have they regained the aura that made their opponents quake at the very thought of playing against them.

That is unlikely as teams like India and now West Indies have learnt that the Australian is unsure of an opponent who gives it back as good as it gets.
