Is it just me or are the Fox commentators talking over each other a bit more than usual?

Id hate to out myself as watching this game with the sound on, but listening to commentary - who would people here pick as the first XI Australian attack of the last 25 years?

McGrath/Cummins/Johnson/Warne?

Suppose like India, the Aussie quartet gets injured. Who are the replacements?
India's six best seamers and two best spinners are out, as well as their best batting allrounder who bowls seam up.

That'd then rule out the following:

Cummins
Haze
Starc
Patto
Neser
Richardson
Lyon
Swepson

So you'd probably end up with this attack:

Abbott
Bird
Steketee
Agar
Maybe a bit of Henriques or Wildermuth, or maybe Agar bats 7 and Conway plays

That attack would be better than this one by a fair margin imo, but this Indian attack wasn't even next in line, it's been partially picked based on who was over here as net bowlers after the one day series finished. It's possible Adam ****ing Zampa would be playing if the roles were reversed.

Actually maybe it's only five seamers for India injured? In which case Richardson can slot back in for Steketee and the attack is kind of fine.
