yes they still wud have won 

they won 1st test in banglore which wasnt a green top........

tendulkar still played 2 test out of 4..........tendulkar nyways wasnt in outstanding form in those years like smith have been . In 2003 he avg 17......

Ur talking about one batsman who was struggling with injuries in those phase.....here its 2 batsman among which one who has been at top of his game with no injury n form issue . 

There was more than one factor in Oz winning that series like dubious umpiring by Silly Billy, you are also forgetting the second test which we could've won. There's no guarantee they would've gone on to win the series if we'd won Chennai, but hey let's keep stoking that fire.

who else wud have been the captain ??

Pujara- before that tour he himself was under many question in regds to overseas

Ashwin- struggling with fitness n inconsistencies overseas

Rahane- has been going through terrible form in last 2 yrs 

Since its a what-if thread, we dont know what would have happened, had there been a better captain than Kohli

[Ajju]

Kohli is good captain in tests

[Real McCoy]

smith himself would have beaten India black adn blue

[neel roy]

India would have won 3-1 save for the rain.if warner smith played and no rain it woud have been 2-2.India would have won melbourne sydney and aus brisbane perth

why Another away series to Australia in 2020-21. it is Australia , who should be touring us . Gaya border - Gavaskar trophy haath se.

 

vagaries of icc w championship

[rtmohanlal]

some people are speaking as if India would have lost 100%  had Smith & Warner played. This is nonsense to say the least.

Unorthodox Bumrah & Kuldeep +  left arm spin of Jadeja  with luck in toss ..... there would have been  no guarantee of that

Would England have won the series had Bhuvi, Bumrah played all the matches ?

 

 

[Sandeep99]

No way in hell. Rat would have failed miserably if they played as well. He would have been baked in sun.

[adi B]

I think yes ,we would have won .

India winning the series was mainly because we won the toss and batted first, India has to bat first in order to win in SENA ,it doesn't matter even if we face a strong side ,we mostly win when we win the toss ,the psyche of the team changes !

We cant chase anything even if our lives depended on it

Touring teams mostly win at the den of the opposition when they are not their best, players are injured or in retirement phase.  No team can beat a strong Aus at home.  Same is the case for England.  England wasnt the strongest in this game as they had to play with 10 men.  dont jump the gun.  Anderson's injury proved costly for England.  Would Aus have won this test if Anderson was fit the whole match.  You are talking about Smith and Warner not playing against India but forgetting about Anderson not playing this game.  He alone could have changed the game for England.

But then Australia were missing hazlewood and starc ,so Australia have a point themselves .starc would have loved to bowl on this pitch .

India also missed bhuvi and bumrah in the 1st test against England last year ,we would have surely won that test with the help of bhuvi's batting and bowling

What, come again? Starc is a B grade (test) bowler compared to Cummins, Pattinson & Hazlewood in that order. He's proved time  again that he isn't good or consistent enough over long periods of time during a test or series, except in Oz or SL. Aus certainly didn't miss him or Hazlewood, given their best bowlers were playing.

[beetle]

No 

[CoverDrive]

Yes. Warner would not have made much difference. Harris played decently. Smith would have made some difference but remember if not for weather we would have won the series easily at 3-1.

 

Remember we also missed out on Prithvi shaw and had terrible openers for some tests.

 

So Smith could have made the series closer but i believe we would have won.

Anderson on this pitch wouldn't have been effective at all. If anything his ball would have hardly reached wicket keeper imo.

anderson has done quite well in english pitches even when they offer little. if you look at his record over past several yrs, he has done well in most conditions (especially at home). I am quite certain he would have been more effective than some of their other pacers. of course, the major diff was ali vs lyon but the match would have been closer with cloud-boy.

well even pat cummins's ball hardly reached till keeper idk what 37 year old anderson would have done on that pitch but yeah maybe workload management could have been better.

cummins is a hit-the-deck bowler who thrives on pitches with true bounce, although he is pretty good in most conditions. anderson has played in domestics on a few fairly dead and low tracks like this one, and has the experience to do alright. mind you, as I said, I am not saying the result would go other way: the real difference was ali vs lyon.

Well smith alone destroyed eng on english pitches. If people think Brandu  and his banar sena could have won in presence of smith and warner lets wait for next test series in aus.
