India recently in SENA
Sa: loss 2-1 avg. Performance
Eng: loss 4-1 poor performance
Aus: Win 2-1 above avg. Performance.
Results in Sa series would have been different had no selection blunders made
Overall for 3 tours performance was average.
Now, there is home season and then SENA test tours in next 2-3 years.
What results can we see for each tours?
 
With Australia getting its key players back, a return to form is to be expected.
 
It would be the same in England, SA.
Australia would be normal service getting resumed.

Its going to be brutal.
 
2-3 yrs is a long time. There will be significant structural changes to most teams and it will be great fun to see how it all plays out.

It will likely be a new generation SA team with Amla/Faf/Steyn retiring. Led by Markram, Theunis, QdK, Bavuma, Rabada and Ngidi.

For Eng, too their great spearhead might finally retire and perhaps Broad too. So a youngish bowling attack led by Woakes to go with a strong middle order that will be peaking with Root, Stokes, Buttler. Their key will be to find openers and a spinner.

Aus will still have their gold star pace trio along with good backup in form of Jhye/Stanlake and with the amazing Lyon slowly moving towards 500 wkt mark. Their batting may need some large scale overhauling with Khawaja and Warner both moving towards career end stages and a lot depends on how the new batsmen settle in.


For India, the challenge will be to weather the natural regression of stalwarts like Kohli and Pujara and hope that the new batting generation can start picking up the slack (Shaw, Gill, Iyer, Agarwal/Rahul). Hopefully the pace bowling will continue to be strong with Bumrah guiding the likes of Saini/Siraj etc. and Kuldeep taking over from Ash and Jaddu.
 
India's tour of NZ should be interesting next year. Shame it is only two tests as it is between the two best sides in the world.
 
Our record will improve significantly, we have a world class pace bowling attack and now after series win down under teams confidence is aldo high.
Expect high quality competition in nz and aus next year.
