If you guys can't win now in Australia when we are decimated in our batting and our bowling then India really is a **** team.

Aus might be most toughest place to win for Asian sides cause pitches are highway most of times and bowlers can't really get aussies for cheap. This might turn if Australian batting doesn't do well this summer. I hope it's really competitive series from both side though.

Yeah, our pitches are ****, but lately, we have been making some fast, green pitches, we will see in the summer if our pitches have improved. Ten, 20 years ago our pitches were awesome offered something for everyone now they are just dead and flat as a pancake.

Doubt they will make green pitches. Aus has bowler to get indian batsman out but if indian bowlers get green top against this weak batting lineup then we might win matches and series eventually.

Like I said India have a good chance to beat us at home now, our batting and bowling has been decimated and if India can't win now they never will. India has never won in Australia or SA and struggles in other countries as well, I don't think India is mentally strong, a bunch of individuals who aren't really that talented except for one or two like Kohli who is elite.

no sandpaper tape this time..so thats a difficult proposition.

They will be dealing with a mentally fragile batting line up though.

In the absence of Smith & Warner, we have a better chance ... If the pitches are like the last time, we should be much more competitive.

We will make someone a star like we did in England with Curran.

India will select a team of players with "Intent" in first 2 match. Once series is out of reach, They will make changes, PR machinery will say, instead of looking at "series" and  "scoreline", look at the "character".

Starc, Pattison, Cummins are all injured not sure if they will be fit by the time India get here.

Nah, even the second string bowlers are enough for this miserable bunch. Only Kohli will score in bunches and you will see occassional flashes from Rahane and Pujara

This is Indias best chance to do something over here, two best batsmen in the world banned, injuries to our best fast bowlers like I said if India can't win now they are weak.

India has never won in Australia or SA because we did not have a good group of pace bowlers till 2015. 

 

Mental strength has never been a problem ... proven by 2 World Cup wins and 3 or 4 other ICC tournament wins too.

They ARE weak, any question about it??

[rkt.india]

I would say absence of Smith and Warner has made it an equal battle.  Aus is playing at home and they are not weak even if they dont have Warner and Smith.  Like we were not weak when Kohli flopped against Aus at home and also had to sit out due to injury.  No top team at home can be called weak.

I don't think this test team is weak.  

 

They are not preparing properly for away tours ... no practice match in SA ... only 1 in England and that too was reduced by us.

 

I don't think teams all over the world are  that serious about test matches any more and 6 to 7 players just focus on T20 leagues or rue the fact that they are not a part of any.
