Will probably get it wrong but expecting bowling to dominate this series. Will be surprised if we see to many scores over 350.

Expecting Australia to win the series 3-1 with a washout somewhere along the lines. Predictions of a wet summer have been around for a while now.

Agree with you about bowling dominating the series, given the combination of Kookaburra Ball changes and Pitch conditions in Australia at the moment. IMO it's better to watch when ball is dominating bat.

I'm real interested to see India's team, Australia have been kissed on the d!ck a bit already with no Rohit and Gill for the first test, hopefully they can take advantage of that. Also interested to see if both Ashwin and Jadeja play, I still think they're that bloody good they should still both play together in Australia but India have usually been happy to omit Ashwin to play a third pacer and/or play a pace bowling allrounder.

Sounding like India have left out Ashwin and Jadeja and playing just the one spinner

Big win for Australia if Ashwin not playing.

India win the toss and batting

Sundar picked ahead of Ashwin and Jadeja, wow. Interesting to see how he goes.

Bigger crowds at a Shield game.
What excuses will the WA folk trot out this year?

In fairness even the discussion and ethusiasm in this forum has been at an all time low for what should be an amazing series.

This team just doesnt seem to capture the countries hearts and maybe just maybe cricket is on the nose a tad.

McSweeney starts his test career with a catch.

When was the last time SA had 3 players in the Test XI?

Many years ago I would suggest.

Everyone staying home to listen to some David Warner gems like “the travelling team, especially when they have to go overseas”…

Nah, it's a Perth thing. Great attendances in the next 4 Tests will show that yet again.

It's been that way ever since Michael Clarke was captain
