*Official* Australia in India 2023

Aus will not win a single game in India - BGT opinion.
  1. Main reason is the lack of spinners. Aussie backup spinners Agar and Swepson are club standard, and wouldnt even make a local club team in India. Compared to the likes of Jadeja, Axar and Ashwin - all are equally unplayable in India, and would be first picked in any side in the world. The depth is also brilliant with the likes of Kuldeep and Chahal, wrist spinners also equally unplayable. india's spin depth and quality, is at its best ever in its entire history of cricket.
  2. Aussie reliance on pace. Mitch starc averages nearly 50 in india. Cummins record isnt great. Boland & morris have never played a test in india. Cameron green, possibly their best seam bowler for those conditions, is injured. Hazlewood is their best bowler for the conditions and will be over reliant on him to reverse swing.
  3. Batting brittle against India spin- led by Travis head and Warner & Labuschagne(to a lesser extent) who are really poor against quality spin. This is proven based on their history. Head/Warner in india, is like Ponting vs Harbhajan, barely can score. Handscomb and Renshaw will be better options than Warner and Head for indian conditions. A Warner failure in the series, will likely be the end of Warner's Test career.
  4. Over reliance on Smith. If he fails then aus are done for. Axar/jadeja and ashwin are world class and can get Smith out- or any of the pacers below can.
  5. India batting - have a great record vs Aus no.1 spinner- Lyon. Also have the best record in world cricket v Aus in general.
  6. Shubman gill is in genius touch at the moment, albeit on flat ODI tracks.
  7. Even India's pacers will trouble aus batters- Shami, Siraj and Bumrah are much better on India's tracks and can reverse swing the ball. They're a lethal combination.
Verdict: Aus will lose atleast 2-3 matches out of the 4. 1-2 of them being a draw due to weather/rain and/or just a flat track. They wont win a single game.

Track at Australian Domestic road track or too good to fast bowler.

i salute Lyon as great bowler who took many wkts at aus.soil.

Aus player never get use to vs top spin since decades, not easy to improves overnight, i never seen CA ever sends Aus A whenever Australian men's team in Asian sub continent for test cricket.
You can sorts out best team.

Our batting has some issue right now so no way you can say aus might win only 1 match, only aus Fielder should not drops catches otherwise PC will struggle to dismiss them

Mahesh Pithiya known in India
"Duplicate of Ashwin" he is future of India

Smith/ Labu & Head practiced vs Mahesh constantly one by one.

BCCI also provides 2 more track on Diffrent Ground so Aus can practice more again other spinners

Expert in India think Australian selector should pick zampa in test team than Agar or so koz batsman not easily read his bowling action.
Australian player also will be study video of Axar bowling
nobody knew him a week ago and him becoming the net bowler for Australia suddenly doesn’t mean he is the future of India ffs

anyone wanting Zampa in the test team should also be revoked of expert status first

Two more spinner added for Indian players practice vs spin
Net bowler jayant Yadav former test Spin bowler
& Delhi base Pulkit Narang ( who playing FC for services)

Naam se kya hoga ? Mahesh Pithiya is talented it's a fact.
We have dozen more if i tell their name you not recognise them but they are 100 time better than Agar/Sweapson

For those playing along from home for the first time, Halba of course predicted massive defeats for Aus every time SA put on a partnership of more than 15 this past summer.
It is a miracle this idiot is even capable of remembering to breathe, such a short attention span
