India wasn't weak either when it arrived in Aus, Kohli's scheduled absence aside. You're zooming out whilst remembering 2001 but zooming in for 2021, understandable but flawed.

But we were severely weakened and lost 9 of our first team players by the time we came to Brisbane.. Why should that not be taken into the equation? That 2001 side was obviously at home and our batting was still considered top notch. That Australia team, great as it was hadn't won in India in over 30 years. And while that Australian team had a better batting lineup, I'll argue the bowling attack of the current Australian team was better rated

i didn't say it should be overlooked. it's a massive deal i agree. so is overturning a 275 1st innings deficit and following up with 11 wickets in 2 sessions to win a test, regardless of who was favorite.

you think Cummins, Hazlewood, Lyon better than Mcgrath, Gillespie, Warne?

Even at our strongest, we have never been given high odds to win series in Australia. Stronger Indian teams have toured Aus before without winning. Even on this tour, people were predicting 4-0.

We were never stronger in bowling though. The current has good fast bowlers and good bench strength. The older teams had one good fast bowler.
