Australian fans need a reality check

India's batting attack is aging... Will struggle against unknown opponents (Lyon' date=' Starc, Pattinson etc)[/quote'] that's what you guys hope. lyon - forget this guy. he will be milked with ease. even in series in england swann didn't do well. starc - not that good seriously. no way he'll trouble our batting. pattinson - good bowler but has been bowling on green wickets so not as good as he seems.

Some big mouths on here - Wonder if their level of education/wealth is as high as their ego. Border/Gavaskar is coming home to Australia.
Your sorry Baggy Greens just lost a home Test to a team ranked only above Bangladesh, so calm down about "egos" and "B/G coming home", buddy.

Speak to me in a month...
Whatever happens, right now your nation is the laughing stock of world cricket for losing a home test to New Zealand...friggin New Zealand, even Bangla made mincemeat of them last year :hysterical:

An attack of Harris (possibly injured), Cummins (injured), Pattinson and Lyon (would be taken apart by India whether he bowls in India or Australia) is a very good one. However, if our batting clicks and Zaheer is fully fit (massive if) then India have a great chance of winning their 1st series in India. At the moment, your batting is poor but the return of Marsh and Watson would certainly improve you.

Aussies need not be worried. They'll be greeting Indians with bouncy tracks. A home advantage they will make full use of. I can't see India winning. They lack the pace battery to even bowl out this Australian team.

IF NZ can bowl them out cheaply so can India. Won't be an easy series for Australia. India need Zak fit otherwise we can't win.

They won't be making this mistake twice i.e making green tops. An attack comprising of Mithun,Vinay and Sharma is just not good enough. On current form, an inexperienced Aussie line up may easily out bowl India throughout the three Tests

Vinay and Mithun are only back-up and may play only if any of the first 3 are unfit.

On current form, an inexperienced Aussie line up may easily out bowl India throughout the three Tests[/quote'] I can tell someone is really, really worried now :giggle: Fact is if NZ can beat this Australian team in Australia, India certainly can (even with our current flaws). You can keep deluding yourself that New Zealand are better than India. Then again the prospect of India winning a series in Australia while your Pakistani team keeps getting its ass handed to it in Australia is understandably frightening for you :two_thumbs_up:

I never rated Ishant anyway. Yadav is fast. There is a possibility he may turn out to be a surprise package. Chances seem slim though. He didn't impress me enough against the Windies, in ODI's.

Understandable. If India win in Australia, suddenly those victories over Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and a declining Lanka that he and his compatriots have been gloating over will look even more irrelevant :cantstop:

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: So he averaged 21 in the Test series but his likely performance in Tests will be predicted by what he did in the ODIs - roflol.

Err no they're not. This recent win may well be a fluke for all I know. The Kiwis have a habit of pulling off victories like that, virtually out of nowhere. Consistency is something that has eluded them, time and again.

Sorry but I don't share your "ankle-high deliveries are great" enthusiasm

Utter rubbish. This is the first time they've beaten Australia in 19 years and the first time they've won in Australia in 26 years. And in the last 4 years, they've won just 2 Tests (apart from this one) against teams ranked higher than them, and one of them against you guys, which is hardly brilliant.
