[Starfighter]

Result: India 2-1 (I'm that pessimistic)
Most runs Aus: Marnus
Most runs Ind: Pujara
Most wickets Aus: Cummins
Most wickets Ind: Bumrah
Biggest failure (at least one from each): Smith, Lyon, one Indian opener
Injuries: at least one bowler from each team
Dropped players: One Indian opener and pace bowler (Aus is pick'n'stick, as in stuck in melted tar type stick)
Random: Burns to score enough first up to 'give him the series', still averages under 20, I get annoyed

[Burgey]

Result: 3-0 Aus. Melbourne a bore draw, much like the city itself
Most runs Aus: Smith, Labushagne
Most runs Ind: Vihari, Pujara
Most wickets Aus: Haze
Most wickets Ind: Shami
Biggest failure (one from each): Starc (though he will perform well, just that everyone else in the side will excel); Mayank, Gill, Rahane, Pant, Ashwin, Jadeja, whoever the random Indian third seamer ends up being. can't separate them - will all be genuinely horrendous.
Injuries: Hopefully none.
Dropped players: Gill, Mayank, Ashwin, Pant, random 3rd Indian seamer
Random: Kolhi to only play one test before returning home, ending his involvement in the tour.
