Which team will win the series in India?

[Kirkut]

The only possibility of Pakistan troubling India could be Hassan Ali's reverse swing, the batting is still vulnerable to lateral movement. Otherwise expecting Pakistani batsmen to survive the current Indian bowling is wishful thinking, except Australia with Smith in form no team right now can score runs against this attack.

in Asia & specifically against spin, Fawad Alam > Smith

Yes and Abdul Qadir was also a better leg spinner than Shane Warne.

You can't compare players of different eras

But we can compare a player who has played 9 test to a player who has played 77 test and conclude that a 9 test player with 3 century in his entire career is better player of spin than a player who scored 3 century in 1 series in 2017 tour of IND.

Australia will annihilate them..

Lol no

Australia's team is pretty strong no doubt, but maybe they should actually win a home series first before we claim they can beat India away.

WI at home was better IIRC in 80s

Yall clearly didn’t learn from the thread comparing Kohli’s India with Smith’s SA and Strauss’ England.

We’re definitely losing a home series to Australia now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shame Pujara declined so badly. He was immense in every series we won vs Australia in the last decade. Right from his debut match.

We really, really won't.

iirc they drew few series. India on the other hand have always won.

Apart from famous Pakistan series in 1988,I don't think they have drawn any series at home.

India at home is like Thanos in Infinity War.

My post was partially in jest, but in all fairness though, current Australian side has a lot going for them; their pace attack is strong as seen in current series, and their batting is vastly improved from last time with addition of Khawaja, Marnus. All-rounder like Green doesn’t hurt either. And they now have an experience of playing another major SC side after current series; so they won’t be without practice. On the other hand, question marks still remain about current Indian batting.

Let’s put it this way; Aus team will have a better shot than any other side in recent memory.
