Hopefully we don’t choose Agar over Swepson just coz Agar can bat a lil bit.
Back our batters in and pick the best spinner here

India needs to win this series 3-0, 3-1 or 4-0 to make the WTC Final.

Personally reckon Australia are a decent chance of rolling India in this series. Last time we toured India we showed some serious fight and the preparation was much better than in the past. If we can take that to another level then we definitely are talented enough. Looking forward to a very good series - It’s great to have this hype over Test cricket.
