India at full strength is better than Australia. But now Aussies should win with India missing 5 players.

BCCI needs to explains to fans on what basis is Rohit made VC of test team.
Good captaincy with MI.
It's really sad. Forget about India.
Current Aussie attack bowlers are better than any bowler Pakistan have ever produced. Yes better than Wasim.
That's how good Cummins, Starc and Hazelwood are. Wasim wasn't better than starc in Australia. Look at his record.
Wasim stats in Australia are 24
Starc stats in Australia are 26
Starc goes at more than 3 rpo
Wasim went at less than 3 rpo
Good captaincy with MI.
in odi. in tests he averages 26.18 in a more bowler friendly era. pretty poor. starc is better vs tail. i would take starc over wasim in sena especially vs tail.

Yeah you would also take Tinu Yohanan over Waqar Younis in Australia.
Part of Mumbai cricket and plays for Ambani's IPL team. What explanation do you need. This has been going on for last 50-60 years where if you are part of certain lobbies, you get chances not matter what while other performers get ignored.
Why do you think Shaw gets a chance over Gill when Gill's overall record in Ranji and A tour are better than Shaw? If not the injuries and quarantine clauses Gill would not have got any chances at all. Shaw and Rohit would have started from Test 1.
Why do you think Rahane retained his place between 2017-19 inspite of extremely poor record during that tenure? If he would not have been part of Mumbai cricket he would have been dropped long back.

I’ve actually heard a little about this through my work.
As you know, almost all of Australia’s cases are linked to overseas travellers seeding infection here. The Ruby Princess cruise ship debacle means that India would never be allowed into the Australian mainland to serve two weeks’ quarantine.
The suggestion is currently that any visiting team would fly into Christmas Island (off Western Australia, but closer to Malaysia and Indonesia).
They would stay at the abandoned Christmas Island Casino hotel as prisoners for a period of two weeks, before proceeding to the Australian mainland.
And wait for this! Plan B is whether a ground could conceivably be built on Christmas Island to host cricket and rugby league if the virus rebounds on the mainland.
Australia were distracted? After bowling us out for 36 in the first test and our mainstay leaving the team after that rout?Australia captain Tim Paine says India refusing to go to Gabba acted as a distraction for Australia
'They weren't going to the Gabba': Australia captain Tim Paine says India good at 'niggling' and 'creating sideshows'. Australia captain Tim Paine has taken a shot at India, saying the Indian cricket team are good at distracting the opposition with things that 'do not matter'.
Australia captain Tim Paine has taken a shot at India, saying the Indian cricket team are good at distracting the opposition with things that 'do not matter'. Paine's comments came in connection to the final Test of the 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Gabba in Brisbane, which Australia lost by three wickets, allowing India to seal the Test series 2-1.
Ahead of the final Test, there were reports that the Indian team was unwilling to travel to Brisbane in view of the stringent protocols related to bio-bubble and insisted that the final Test too be played at the SCG, which had hosted the third Test. Of course, India did go to Brisbane and went on to win the Test, but Paine feels the distraction created due to the matter played a role in Australia losing focus ahead of the final Test.
"Part of the challenge of playing against India is they're very good at niggling you and trying to distract you with stuff that doesn't really matter and there were times in that series where we fell for that," Paine told news.com.au.
"The classic example was when they said they weren't going to the Gabba so we didn't know where we were going. They're very good at creating these sideshows and we took our eye off the ball."
The 2-1 loss was Australia's second consecutive Test series defeat to India on their home soil. During the 2018/19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India had beaten Australia also by a 2-1 margin to register their maiden Test series win in Australia. Paine was the captain back then as well.
While the previous tour was historic in its own ways, the series victory which India registered earlier this year was of epic proportions. With no Virat Kohli and most of the key players injured, in the presence of Steve Smith and David Warner in the opposition, India put up a spirited show after the Adelaide debacle to produce three huge results.
They won the second Test at MCG by eight wickets, followed by a memorable draw in Sydney and capped off the series with a win at Gabba, a venue where Australia hadn't lost a Test match since 1988.

Love reading the 1st page of this thread with so many hilarious predictions being made earler. Not only India entered mainland Australia but won the series too.

He has to be among the most mediocre Australian cricketers ever. It's shocking for how long he's been able to lead them in tests. Like sometimes I wonder if even his family acknowledges him as an international cricketer. Do his neighbours even know him.
So looking back @Junaids, were Indians held as prisoners in Christmas Island like other refugees ?I’ve actually heard a little about this through my work.

To be honest, the Test series win in Australia was purely based on a few facts:So looking back @Junaids, were Indians held as prisoners in Christmas Island like other refugees ?
I wonder what happened to destroyer of attacks.. Rohail Nazir. Have not heard anything about him.To be honest, the Test series win in Australia was purely based on a few facts:
Our bowlers could not hurt their bowlers so Josh/Starc/Cummins were forced to bowl continuously whereas our injured bowlers had to be rotated.
We had guys like Shardul Thakur who were 5'7" in reality but the Aussies were in Covid bubbles relentlessly and so Thakur appeared like a 7'2" giant to tired Aussie bats. They had geriatrics like Lyon bowling while we had young beauties like Ash and Jadeja both bowling and batting. There was no Shadab Khan-level spin all-rounder in all of Australia.
Australia had a useless seam allrounder in Cam Green who was not even 10% of Faheem Ashraf.
Tim Paine was a captain who was not even half the portly keeper that Rishabh Pant was, let alone the prodigious, untouchable Rohail Nazir.
If Australia had peak Salman Butt instead of Warner, that would probably have helped too.
The Test series victory was a fluke against a side which didn't have a single player that would have made the NZ Test side. So such a Test series win and runs against such opposition don't really count and most educated, knowledgeable fans have already put mental asterisks on that win after India failed to win WTC.
The real victory for India was the diplomatic victory in avoiding that scary detention centre on Christmas Island
Fallen behind in the pecking order. Way too much talent - it's a shark tank in Pakistan with the talent they haveI wonder what happened to destroyer of attacks.. Rohail Nazir. Have not heard anything about him.
