Australia is again a series winner on one-day circuits, and now, not protecting the World Cup feels like an unrealistic dream.
Against India, it has been done only once, after a 2-0 draw against India in the 3-0 win, so Australia should do something right.
In fact, a few things appear to be right, making a complex selection puzzle that is almost impossible to solve. Who takes Australia for the World Cup, it is clear as mud.
But this is just a burning question that remains after a remarkable ODI series victory.
Who goes to Steam Smith and David Warner?
To play against Pakistan, it is a good thing to have a series of five matches in this month because at this time, we have no clue.Usman Khawaja had long been regarded as one of the least names to be dropped from the World Cup team to make it to Australia's Returning Star Bats.
Leaving two centuries and two fifties in their last five one-dayers would be ridiculous, though, and this would undoubtedly send the wrong message.
From the point of view, Aaron Finch was one of Australia's worst batsmen in India - it is not that there is nothing to make 157 runs at 31.40.
In the third ODI, he scored a magnificent hundred in 93 balls and put some white balls behind him, although he still had two ducks for the series. But how would you leave a captain who gave Australia victory in the first ODI series in India in 2009?
Middle-order batsman Peter Handscomb was a consistent performer who completed his century in the fourth ODI, and finished the series by scoring 236 runs at 47.20. This was followed by Dhoni's batsmen Ashton Turner, whose fourth-ODI match followed Australia's 43-ball 84-run chase in the 43-over pursuit of his biggest chase.
Glenn Maxwell's versatility in command and sports-consciousness is none of the current Australia team, while Marcus Stoney's can not be credited with both bat and ball.
Who leaves Shaun Marsh. He passed 10 out of his three innings only once and was left for the decider.
It is unbelievable to believe that after the summer, Australia's premiere Bill Billed as the 50-over batsman appears in the first line to clear a spot for Smith, but we are here.
The only option is to leave Smith or Warner at least after all, but surely the selection panel in the world is not enough that he is enough to make the call.
HAS AARON FINCH DONE ENOUGH TO KEEP HIS SPOT?
Finch is one of the world's finest ODI captains, even if he is one of the best batsmen in the current form.
Australia did not win an ODI series in India since 2009, and did not win any of the five-match series from below 2-0.
The fact is that Australia has gone directly into the deficit in the first place, and some argue that the celebration will not be celebrated later.
But in the resurgence of Australia, as a leader and as a batsman, what should Finch be the main role?
When it was done or die in the third ODI, they scored 93 runs in the opening stand of 193 runs with Khawaja, which not only resulted in a win, but the whole series turned upside down.
He slipped into the game four with Duck, but the return was already on full swing because Khwaja, Handscomp and Turner took the series as a decisive one.
When Finch made another strong partnership with Khawaja, the pair added 76 runs to Delhi's slow track, which helped to win another victory.
Finch finished the series with 157 runs at 31.40; A remarkable improvement in their summer form.
They have very good faith in the bank, and no one doubts the credibility of their leadership, so that they have locked the lock.
WHO WEARS THE GLOVES?
It appears that Australia has found a winning formula and she will be reluctant to separate from it.
This means that Alex Kerry of South Australia will maintain wicketkeeping duties despite the threat of in-form Handscomb.
The latter wore gloves in two T20I fixtures against India and, in January, with Vera's initial struggles at home, was vaunted as full-time replacement.
But Carrie was given another chance given back down to No.7 and No.8 for ODIs.
There he was once again a trusted contributor and looked more comfortable in the role. He scored 103 runs at 34.33 - good number for a keeper in middle order.
Apart from this, Handscomb stood up as a specialist batsman, made 236 at 47.20, including Australia's biggest run chase.
Now that there is no doubt about Carrie's best position in the ODI team, after the failed opening experiment, she can treat herself as a strong favorite to wear gloves in the World Cup.
Austria is the world's largest World Cup WEAPON?
Probably not, but Pat Cummins should be close enough.
25 year old players are in the best form of careers and do not show any signs of slowing down before the World Cup.
Cummins provided his best ODI series against India, which included 14 wickets at 14.71, including his first five wickets in the format.
He was the most wicket-taker bowler in the series doubling the pair of Jaspreet Bumrah, India, who emerged as one of the best fast bowlers in the world in the summer. Cummins was the second most economical bowler in the series (4.64) after Nathan Lyon (4.43).
Any Australian bowler did not enjoy this kind of productive five-match series in India.
His efforts were largely overshared by Australia's batters - i.e. Khwaja's reform, which was awarded as Man of the Series.
But the Cummins' destructive test form has been originally taken to the White-Ball Game. He is now ready to lead Australia's World Cup campaign, especially in the face of Josh Hazlewood and the 2015 World Cup hero Mitchell Starck on the clouds of injury.
There are many other weapons in the UK - like Bumrah of India, Kagiso Rabada of South Africa and Trent Boult of New Zealand. England's gun spinner Adil Rashid is also there.
But Cummins is red-hot, and eager to say at the showpiece of cricket, in which only two matches have been played in the 2015 edition.
Cummins said after winning 3-2 series Australia, "I had played one-day cricket before, but it felt like I have not really clicked in this format.
He said, "It felt like I bowled well in the Australian summer, so happy that it will continue to click. Hopefully it will continue for the World Cup."
ONE SPINNER, TWO, OR NONE?
Shane Warne had suggested before the ODI series that Australia's spin requirement can be filled in the World Cup by part-timer Maxwell, Smith and D'Sharse Short.
Before leg spinner Adam Zampa strengthened his position as Australian specialist Twikr, taking the second highest wicket for the series.
They claimed 11 scallops at 25.81, and ended the series behind Cummins only.
Zampa was selected for all five matches and was bowled on the economy rate of 5.68 compared to all spinners in India except Ravi Jadeja (4.75).
Fellow spinners were the most economical bowler of the Nathan Leone series (4.43) and were used in combination with Zampa in three matches.
He did not take many wickets but sending it to Indians proved difficult.
As support for Zampa, Leone now looks a strong alternative to playing a big part in the World Cup.
