This is a remarkable record and had this been told to Indian fans in early 2000s or anyone they’d have said you’re crazy!
 
India’s W/L ratio of 0.21 although still poor is the second best of all visiting teams since 2000s in Australia. South Africa is ahead of all.
 
It's surely dominant as compared to other teams, but I won't call 1.1 as dominating.

SA has the second best W/L with 0.6 so 1.1 is very good. All thanks to great Aus team not able to win against India most of the times.
 
Dominant in the sense they’re the o y team to have won more then lost against Australia.

That keeping in mind the phenomenal run of the Aussies from 2000 to 2007 is quite amazing.

Of course it’s built on home victories but Aussies haven’t allowed many teams to decimate them on tours either.
 
It all started with Ganguly's men taming Steve Waugh's invincibles, and we have kept up ever since.

Surely something to be proud of given how dominant Aussies have been against other sides.

Yah, India is the only team which stood up against great Aus team. Warne was made useless in India and India had gun batting.
 
We went toe to toe with the ATG Aussie team from 2001 to 2008, H2H 7-6 in our favor across 5 series (3 in India, 2 in Australia) during a time when all other countries were getting smashed by them. Even England which famously won the 2005 Ashes were brutalized in other Ashes encounters, in fact the very next year they lost 0-5 downunder. That fab 5 team deserves plaudits for rising to the occasion every time against possibly the greatest test team of all time.
 
Beating the invincivle Aussie team 2-1 at home in 2001 and then holding them to a 1-1 draw in 2003-04 tour and keeping the BG Troohy was quite an achievement.

Australia were annihilating everyone during that time home and away.

India’s batting at the time was quite legendary. The fab 5 were truly world class.

Misleading.

Aus were missing `Mcgrath and Warne in 03-04, and by 08, they had lost several of their best players.

No McWarne in 03-04, the Aussies in 08 had lost McWarne, Langer, Martyn and Gillespie so they weren't the ATG side you're making them out to be

They were still head and shoulders above every other side. India in 2001 didn't have Kumble and Srinath, missed Sachin, Ganguly, Harbhajan at various points in 2004, doesn't diminish the achievements of Australians. Similarly the WI sides Pakistan faced in late 80s missed many of their stalwarts due to retirements/injury but that doesn't diminish the historical standing of those drawn series.

Australia still had a full strength batting line up in 2003. You're talking as if dismissing a line up of Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Martyn, Waugh, Katich and Gilchrist twice in a test match is child's play.
 
Lol. Warne has always been a dud against us. So his absence doesn't matter one bit. In fact we missed on some easy runs due to his absence in that series.
 
Can anyone bring out the list? Think England will be no. 3. Haven't lost a series at home and won once away as well after 2000.

Lol. That '08 side was still on winning spree of 16-17 tests on the trot .

australia doesn't have much lateral movement, india had really good batsmen, who played the short stuff better than pak or sl batsmen, hence they could put runs on board every now and again.

paks record is an abomination, which fortunately in ur cut off doesnt even include the 3-0 in 99. invariably pak had lost the series even before a ball was bowled because they've historically been so mentally intimidated by the aussies.

Thanks. As visible, India have done better than pretty much everyone against Australia. It has always been harder for Australia or any opposition when they came to India but in contrast, India have still fared better than everyone except SA away in Australia. A series win this time will help further.
 
What would be interesting is the difference in away records between touring teams.

Eg: Ind in Aus vs Aus in Ind and so on.

We'll obviously be ahead of them, but that would be an interesting analysis.

Pleaae do the needful.

Thanks
 
Congratulations to Indian fans. They again have a net dominant record over Australia.

By only 1 match though.

This millennium (from Jan 1, 2001) it is 17-14 in favor of India, so +3. I already put out that info in post #18, a day before Boxing Day test.

If you talk about 2000s, the 2000 SCG test (VVS 167) will enter the stats column and it will be 17-15, +2.

Australia displaced WI in 1995 to become number 1 test side, that was the start of their global domination. From 1995 till now the record reads 20-18 in favor of India.

Applying the 1995 cut off these are the H2Hs for all teams against Australia:

Look at the NZ stat, shocking !!!

Why Jan 2001?

Consider it from Jan 2000
 
Nonetheless it is highly impressive of India and there are people here who question if there is even a rivalry between India and Australia.

India has been by far their most consistent and toufhe at rival for 25 years of test cricket now.
 
2001 as in new millennium.

I mentioned that in my post, since Jan 01, 2000 we lead 17-15.

Bhaijaan got you.

Thanks

Impressive record. Who would have thought things would look like this the way the Aussies were doninating in early 2000s.

Kudos to India for holding their grip on these Aussies and making them submissive.
 
What is India and Pakistan's record against the only team that matters, England?
 
Uufff..whatta fantastic record. No doubt ACB invites us for a series every alternate year as local Aussies loves to see a champion team like India. If I recall, we were not this good in 90s but Ganguly's men lead the foundation in 2003, Kumble's boys enhance the reputation in 2008 and King will win it for us in 2018 :)

Since Jan 1, 2000 India has played 41 test matches against Australia, 21 in India and 20 in Australia. After the completion of SCG test it will be an equal split of 21-21. Then we tour Australia again in 2020 for a 4 test series.
 
Being blanked 0-9 at home is quite bad. NZ have played much better in Australia it seems. They could have actually won a series there in early 2000s.
 
That NZ home record against AUS is nuts 0-9. How have they not managed to win even 1 match?

NZ have also not managed to win more than 1 test vs SA since 2000. The record is: -

2-0
1-1(in NZ)
2-0
2-0
1-0
2-0
1-0
1-0

So, overall record is 12-1 in favour of SA since 2000. However, 5 of these series were in SA and 3 in NZ.

NZ vs Australia/SA is kinda similar to SL vs India.
