Australia strong at home in Test series - the myth (2011-2021)

BUMP

this is perhaps a sobering reminder as to how incredibly hard it is to beat the Aussies at home. Almost EVERYTHING is stacked against the opposition teams.

PS: I don't expect India to fare any better later this year.

India is an aged side.. You can't possibly expect INdia to win 3 test series in a row in Australia. Can you.

Nah india will perform good this time also .gill , jaiswal ,pant ,Kohli ,Rohit all have good batting technique to perform in Australia .
From bowling point of view we need Bumrah , Shami and siraj to fit for Australia series

Jaiswal
Rohit
Gill / KL Rahul
Virat
KL Rahul/ GIll
Pant ( WK) Hope he is fit and perform well befor Australian tour
Jadeja
Ashwin
Bumrah
Siraj
Shami

This is good team for Australia series assuming all are fit .

The fact that India have Mukesh Kumar after Bumrah, Siraj and Shami is a sobering reality check.

Need a pUjara/Dravid like batsmen somewhere. Pujara faced 1248 deliveries in that 2018 series. Someone who can occupy the crease while others playing around him.

True but the aussies are no spring chicken either. But I think our skill levels and depths are far better than the current Pakistan team ... yet it is almost inevitable that we will lose. Also its a 5 match series. Just cant wait. What an epic series that is going to be !!!​

5 match series is going to pretty long so we need to manage workload for Indian pacers . We have to selected atleast 6 pacers for Australian tour . planning should start before three month's .

Teams to defeat Australia in Australia in the last 37 Tests in 8 years:

- India
- End of list

I think what worked in our favor last time was the ODI + T20I series prior to the Test series that lasted almost a month before the Test series started. I hope we do something similar this year. The players involved in those white ball series became our eventual match winners in the Test series.
