It's interesting how the vast majority are putting Pattinson as the top wicket taker. I'd put him somewhere near the top too (especially given the lack of many other likely options), but if he does take the most wickets it will still be a very impressive effort from such an inexperienced bowler. Would probably put Siddle above him though, simply because he is more consistent at this stage, is bowling well at the moment and in all likelihood will play every match as well (which can pretty much rule out players like Zaheer).

Predictions -

Series Score - 2-1 to Australia.
Top runscorer - Michael Clarke
Top wicket-taker - Ishant Sharma
Misc - Ponting to retire after the last Test, Zaheer to break down, Australia to trial another spinner at some point.

Score: Australia 3-0
Runs: Ponting, Extras
Wickets: Clarke, runouts
Misc: Every Australian bowler to get injured by lunch day 1 at Melbourne. Clarke to bring himself on as main strike bowler and break SF Barnes' record for wickets in a series.

Australia will pick Mitchell Johnson in a horses for courses pick when the series rolls round to Perth. Johnson, despite having his foot in plaster, by this point will be Australia's 2nd fittest quick (Siddle being the fittest due to a rigorous training regime where he runs all day a la Forrest Gump). Despite such an obvious handicap, which means Johnson can barely walk nevermind run, he'll still be clocked at a faster speed than any of India's "quicks".

India will flounce and threaten to go home after the 2nd Test unless UDRS is fully implemented for the remainder of the series. Tony Grieg, meanwhile, will dissapear from the airwaves after an accumulation of infraction points for trolling.

Zaheer Khan will be fit enough to take the field in every Test. He will only bowl in 3, as Dhoni will forget that he's actually fit and work on the assumption that Zaheer must be injured because that's what always happens.

After a series in which the big 3 (Tendulkar, Dravid and Ponting) have a poor time of it, Ponting will embark on a delusional press conference where he'll reference how well he's hitting them in the nets at least 6 times, and will reveal that what's driving him is being Test cricket's leading run scorer. The 4th Test will descend into farce after a returning Watson runs out Warner and then himself, bringing Ponting to the crease. Australia bat for all 5 days, with Ponting scoring 2,600* before Clarke announces Ponting's retirement at the close of play.

Clarke being top wicket-taker is the best.

I think the most important factor in determining the outcome of this series will be fitness. The team with fewer injuries to key players should win. I think it will be close.

Australia
Leading run scorer - Clarke
Leading wicket taker - Pattinson
India
Leading run scorer - Dravid
Leading wicket taker - Ashwin (he has good height for a spinner).
