Now a days everybody is getting better at home. But real home series are far and few. For example AUS can really be challenged by SA and Vice Versa, and they both have done well in each others home, For India and Pakistan real challenge will come from each other, both does not play against each other, in a way both have not been tested to limit at home in last 10 years. India is rolling over western opposition easily, Pakistan is baking westerners in desert and getting better off it.
Australian bounce, Indian turn and Pakistan's desert formula is working against opposition that are weaker for those conditions. When Auses come up against team that can deal with bounce aka SA, they really did not shine that well...I still think Pakistan and India has not played high intensity home series in a while, you don't really know the limitation of their team. Without them playing each other, you are not going to see quality test series in respective countries. How good is India, we may never know, unless India Pakistan play 4/5 test series against each other, we will never find out...
Test Cricket may not have long life in Asia, because their is hardly any gripping series. AUS and ENG are living on Ashes, SA does match AUS, rest of the series are just way too one sided to be of any serious interest. I don't see Western team mastering spin or eastern teams mastering green and bounce any time soon, that was never the case, test cricket was living off of locals fight for most part, except WI era, who tried to dominating every where with battery of quicks!!!
