Let’s be clear- there is no shame associated if India lose a closely fought series in Australia to Australia, bcoz it’s a given that strong teams are supposed to win home series. However, far greater loss of face for Australia if they lose this one.

How? India is a stronger team and the best team in the world atm?

Their not losing to pakistan or Bangladesh in their home den.

He was using sandpaper so that his team could get the advantage of having the ball generate banana swing in the air.

aka cheat. its not just him though was it. it was a coordinated effort which included the coaching staff. Guess it can be tough to get away from ones roots.
 
It will be a tough series as both teams are looking good. Cannot say that India is gonna dominate or vice versa. Australia will be under pressure as they have lost 2 home series back-to-back against India but Aussie can never be underestimated.

No home teams always have rhe advantage. Especially 5 test series.

Aus are a strong team too. Batting looks very strong.

Even aus of 2000 era won only once in India. Lost the other ones away from home. Also drew vs nz at home.

You are still celebrating those 2 victories. Aren't you?

Those happened 4-5 years ago. Current Aussie team is likely to crush India. There is no Pujara and current Aussie team is far more well-gelled.

Yes really poor schedule by BCCI.

We should have not played this meaningless T20 matches va Bangladesh before NZ series.

I wanted all the indian players to free before Australia A tour.

Now our last test against NZ will start from 1 November to 5 Nov. and 2nd unofficial test between India A vs Australia will start from 7 Nov.

Actually NZ series should have finished before 25 October for better prepration against Aussie .

Now none of our test players can participate in India A vs Australia A two unofficial test series as its co - inside with Nz test series.

As a neutral, cannot wait for this epic showdown. No doubt the best two teams in the world, with top quality through out the teams. I'm predicting a 3-1 Aussy triumph.

5 test always favours home team. One test for sure will be a draw

So either it's 2-2 or 3-1 either way.
 
This will be a crucial series for Aus and Ind. If Ind win the series by any margin , a very high probability that it will be a Ind vs SA final based on the rest of the fixtures. So should be a cracker of a series this !(y)

Music to my year just like Tagores poems...

Have some shame dude!

Ind has beaten the aussies 4 Test series in a row!! Which other team could have managed to do this to the mighty Aussies?

Even if Ind loses now, that is not a reflection on the quality of Ind, but on Australia being unbelievably hard to conquer at their home, especially in such a long test series (where lesser teams can't just fluke their way to a series victory/draw)

Yea and ? India only won cause Australia wanted indian fans to attend the stadium. To make kore money. So they had to make pitches that are spin friendly. Ball turned square in 2018 and 2021.

On any normal fair pitches indian can't compete.

England won on proper flat bouncy wickets.

If india loses too many games in the test series then it's bad for the broadcatsers as it will affect their finances immensely. So Australia purposely gifted a few games to satisfy indian fans. To keep the public interested.

Australia purposely lost the test series so that they can get big ipl contracts. It's in the arrangement. Aussies were all promised fat contracts if they threw the game away.

Wrong thread but I did some digging. Some people here boast about how good t.head is in t20 lol. His record vs bumrah is poor overall. It's also bad in tests. Only odi somewhat he did ok

Also poor record vs rabada. Average of 26 in tests.
And even worse in odi.
T20 he did ok vs rabada.

Sadly, it is a part of WTC programme and points count for WTC finals- this was already scheduled long back -but your point is valid when one sees the bigger pic.

unnesssary was also BD and SAF T20 series which serve no purpose but money spinners (some might say that is the purpose :) )
So realistically from now till About jan 10th we are playing 8 tests which roughly equates to a test per week...firstly in our second summer october conditions and then we will land in Aus, have no time and straight to Optus stadium, Perth-1st test.

The only FC game is aginst PMXI AFTER the Perth Test after which we have the pink ball adelaide and onto the Gabba for the 3rd test.

Gee whiz - could'nt the BCCI schedule this better to have a couple of FC games BEFORE the 1st test?

I might be pessimistic but i see a lot of injury potential in the hot weather NZ tests even though Poona and Banglore are still pleasant weather, but hope we come out this with our squad intact and not succumb to Weariness by the time boxing day and MCG come around.

It will be a supreme test of all our faculties- mental, physical, technical, workload management etc and has the potential to define us or it might be one hot long summer.

It looks cramped now. New zealand is not an easy team to beat. You have to work hard. Last time they escaped in one of the match by batting out last 10 overs.
 
Can we stay on topic and talk about the India-Australia series?

No personal or irrelevant remarks, please.
 
Absence of Cam Green is a big blow for Aus. His role as support bowler was critical to Aus's plans of keeping the big 3 fresh throughout 5 test series.

Hardie is too raw to make the top 6 as a straight swap so Mitch Marsh will need to step up on the bowling front atleast for first 3 tests.

I believe we will see Aussies prepare far more bowling friendly pitches to try and break the series before Boxing Day test.
 
Aus's big strengths are their proven gold class players - Khawaja, Smith, Marnus, Cummins and Hazlewood who inevitably bail them out of potential banana peel situations at homes thus allowing their streakier players to ease into series.

If India can shutdown 2 of the senior pro batters and keep out one of the bowlers in first 2 games they have a chance to reflect pressure back on Aus.
 
Yes they will

Aus in Aus is always a huge challenge. And Aus are tougher this time under Cummins
 
India is only team that dominated australia in last decade home or away in test cricket.

I think india has a good chance of another series win in Australia

If india can win another series then what will be the reaction from Australia media and fans?

To be honest , India vs Australia is the best test series in world cricket possible now. No matter who wins , Test Cricket will surely win. We need to see more of those close fought competitive Test Matches.

Just don't see us winning this time without a fully fit pace attack. Unless we pick all the good ones from domestic as well. Then maybe.

I still think 2-1 Oz or 2 -2 draw

Yes. If we had prime ishant prime shami to support bumrah akashdeep etc then we would rout Aussies.

Right now we have e bumrah akashdeep
Shami questionable due to injury
Harshit not sure if picked. Hope so

Mayank is a 50 50

Siraj is wayward. There are 2 more In domestic. If we pick fully fit bowlers then yes we have a shot. I still think draw or 2-1 Oz win

One game will 100% be washed out. I will put my life savings on it. Including investment property.

One will be a boring draw.

If we have Bumrah, Shami, Akashdeep and Siraj available for Perth and Adelaide, I think we can feel confident we'll put up a fight. Their batting is good but not scary and they're just as vulnerable as us on a tough pitch.

Of course, we'll only pick 3 of those 4 and add a spinner but that core is very, very good.
 
India's 1st Test against New Zealand has given a message to Australia that India like Pakistan is also totally unpredictable now.

Nay bro. They are not unpredictable.

Yes they can get out on 36 or 46 but calling them unpredictable like Pakistan is too much.

India might lose against Australia though. I think Aussie have the upper hand this time. Gut feeling. could go wrong
 
One team is going to acknowledge the other...only time will tell who conquers and who gets conquered. 1 month left

You never know.

Aus are favourites
Siraj no longer in peak condition

No more ishant to support and do donkey work.

Shami injured.

If shani is fit, maybe we get harshit in and akashdeep and mayank ready for aus tour there is an outside chance.

Unleashed the Mayank Agarwal at the Perth .

India need to send players like Kela ( who are not going to play 3rd test against NZ)to Australia with India A team .

I think bumrah is playing all The test before BGT Which is not a good things .he need to be fit and firing fr whole series .

Should take rest from last test ( NZ) And send him as earlier to Australia for better prepration .

Gambhir is adamant that bumrah will get sufficient rest before as bgt starts after 12 days.He is treating bumrah like any other normal bowler. He should have some common sense that bumrah is 50 percent of our bowling effort even when shami is there.

With the BGT squad for India announced, what result do you guys expect in the upcoming action packed series?
Good thing for Indians, Bumrah would be the vice captain.
 
India's chances look bleak this time. Rohit and Virat have become liabilities in the Test format. Furthermore, look at India's bowling unit, can Harshit Rana and Akash Deep really trouble Australia?

Not as busy as india.

But India also missed shami and we played with 3 passengers. We all know three are washed up and there are better players in reserve.

It is what it is. We deserve to lose for selecting soooperstars.

Need to learn from Pakistan. See how they dropped babar gabar and shaheen
 
India's chances just went down after that series loss against NZ.

Aussie will exploit their weakness and win the series.
 
India have already won 4 back to back test series against Australia. Whatever Australia do they remain an inferior side to India unless they take the revenge by beating India in India. But are they capable of this?
 
India A have made a strong comeback against Australia A today. So hopefully the main side will show the same courage. Just 20 days left now.
 
Superstitious cowards: Now that NZ C have bent us, we will win in Australia.

There there IT :(
