You just described Pakistan's crap bowling.

India faced full battery of their fast bowlers.Even if Warner and Smith had played we would have won, our bowlers were dynamic and if not for Rain we should have won the series 3-1.

There is just Travis Head and Tim Paine in the current team from that batting line up which we faced last year. And both are tbh their current weakest batsman. 

Plus this time around they would be doubly motivated and proud to correct the record. Expect a serious backlash from the Aussies. This could well be a mauling if we are relaxed about it because let's be honest we aren't that great travellers as we are made out to be.

Didn't laBuschangne play Sydney test.Ishant/Bumrah would have had Joe Burns  for dinner every time.Mathew Wade and Head would be no problem.Smith and Warner would have their moments but what you see evident even in NZ series is these guys are not scoring quick against accurate bowling.NZ just does not have enough penetration.India will extra bounce and pace would add penetration to accuracy.

 

We want Aussies to fight back.We want a competitive series not boring crap we are seeing in Australia this year where you know there is only one winner after day 1.

 

When I say Kohli is best Indian captain people tend to dismiss it, he has kept his team fighting in most of the test matches.They needed to be little lucky with tossses and few other things.

This match might be over before lunch

Kiwis are the weakest 2nd ranked test team (of past 1 year)

[Ajju]

This NZ is worst than PAK

Any live streams?

Thoroughly abysmal from NZ.

 

Thoroughly abysmal.

After first test defeat NZ should have realised that their usual bits and pieces approach won't work.  They should have played only one allrounder.. not two in CDG and Santner. In the end a shamefu performance

Bits and pieces players work best in t20s, the longer the format gets the more they get exposed.

True and applies more against stronger teams

Aussies have played all thru home season with just one change that too caused due to injury.Here on ICF everyone clamouring for changes willy nilly in Indian team?

 

How many changes Indian team have for their home season.

[Stan AF]

Australia 38/0

[ssurenn]

50 for Labuschagne on the Start of the Year.

[Frustrated]

After the 0-3 whitewash , Nz are likely to drop to No.4 or 5 in the Icc ranking.    And Aussies will become No.2

[ssurenn]

Batting looking ridiculously easy at the moment.
