Starc is finished, Hazlewood has declined. Lyon is 36, play him well and we have a decent chance. 

 

Aus batting though is pretty good...even though Smith has declined, they have Labu, Head, Carey, Marsh and even buddha Khawaja is among the runs. Green a big miss but that will be counterbalanced by Shami's absence. 

Indian.team has habit to bring such players back.to life.

[Chakdephatte]

No Shami. So we are starting with Siraj as our second pacer 

[Chakdephatte]

Smith and Labu are not in a great form. Head has not been good since that final (LOL!). 

Cam Green is injured. His bowling is a bigger miss than batting. 

The only dependable guy in their XI is Khwaja but he ain't mercurial. 

 

Both teams are going through a tough phase. The difference is in bowling quality.

We should have tried one more new bowler like Akashdeep. 

Akashdeep is in the squad

Hopefully DSP saab bowls like he did in 2020-21 BGT. Akashdeep can be good addition

Green's batting is a bigger miss.. he was lone batter carrying them in Home as well as won them a Test match in NZ.

 

Carey is back in form since NZ tour &, he is a massive upgrade over Paine.  He is gonna screw us.

 

Carey Head Marsh or new opener Konstas/Harris will be the big threats.

 

Khwaja has lost all reflexes & is playing Purely on quota.  This is going to be his final series.

If anything he bowled Better than Boom Siraj with new ball vs BD.

I reckon he is key against Khawaja And Head with round the wicket bowling.

 

Drop DSP and play Harshit in Perth.

Before Australia series, are we going to loose the series to New Zealand 3-0.

Shubhman gill Batting average of 37 in 26 tests

 

Kl Rahul Batting average of 32 in 50 tests

 

Why is these two fellows even at the vicinity of the Indian test team going by these Records? 

 

Fellows like these gets free slots time and again. These two guys should be thrown out of the test team at any cost. Gill is even portrayed as the future indian Captain even with these petty test records. This is pure lobbying. These fellows have surely candidates proposed by BCCI. The same old 90s favoritism and lobbying. Only thing lacking is match fixing.

Add Kohli to that hall of fame. Averages 32 since the start of 2020. In 2024 his average is 18.7
