At this moment, their batting is definitely better than us . In pace bowling it is equal if Bumrah is fully fit . Spin bowling ours is better.Last time Aus won a test series against India was back in 2014-15. Aus lost three series since then (two in their own backyard) and not in a great position here.
Umm yeah right, Aus is way ahead.

Yeah but he did it against lower level spinners than Ashwin/Jadeja. Pretty sure Smith or even Labu are capable of this quality innings against Murphy/Lyon.Rohit Sharma is also a major difference , he gave a masterclass on how to negotiate spin , he was so far ahead of any top order batsman in the match it was scary, haven't seen anyone play spin that well in quite a while .
Our openers are in good form (probably better than Aus openers), our lower order batting is way ahead and our pace attack is also on par based on results in last few years.At this moment, their batting is definitely better than us . In pace bowling it is equal if Bumrah is fully fit . Spin bowling ours is better.
Outside Asia, I would take Lyon over Ashwin/Jadeja as spinner and Aussie pace attack too.At this moment, their batting is definitely better than us . In pace bowling it is equal if Bumrah is fully fit . Spin bowling ours is better.
Not after last year when they failed to defend scores in SA and England.Our openers are in good form (probably better than Aus openers), our lower order batting is way ahead and our pace attack is also on par based on results in last few years.
you must really like losing in ustraliaOutside Asia, I would take Lyon over Ashwin/Jadeja as spinner and Aussie pace attack too.
Aus pace attack isn’t better than India even outside Asia .Outside Asia, I would take Lyon over Ashwin/Jadeja as spinner and Aussie pace attack too.
yeah but they aren't facing those two are they you dumb ****Pretty sure Smith or even Labu are capable of this quality innings against Murphy/Lyon.
And how did Australian attack fare in Eng/Sa last time ?Not after last year when they failed to defend scores in SA and England.
Cummins/Hazelwood/Starc > Bumrah/Shami/Siraj
not really. at home, rohit, shreyas, jaddu better than smith/labu. away, rohit, pant, jaddu better than any of theirs. their batting is reliant on an aging smith and labu while others are hit and miss. we have 3 usually but sometimes 4 reliable contributors.At this moment, their batting is definitely better than us .
Okay but Rohit Sharma is averaging 76 in India across 21 tests, when everyone else including his own colleagues are struggling to average even half of that lately. Rohit Sharma is the best batsman in Indian conditions of all time statistically, so that has to be a point of difference if we are comparing teams .Yeah but he did it against lower level spinners than Ashwin/Jadeja. Pretty sure Smith or even Labu are capable of this quality innings against Murphy/Lyon.
Pardon him. His memory only serves his flawed beliefs.And how did Australian attack fare in Eng/Sa last time ?
Fair point but we are going on recent form.And how did Australian attack fare in Eng/Sa last time ?
I think you are underestimating their batting. Ashes will tell the full picture.not really. at home, rohit, shreyas, jaddu better than smith/labu. away, rohit, pant, jaddu better than any of theirs. their batting is reliant on an aging smith and labu while others are hit and miss. we have 3 usually but sometimes 4 reliable contributors.
My point was that those two are the difference between the sides, not Rohit, since at least Smith is capable of Rohit-like innings if not the other Aussie bats.yeah but they aren't facing those two are they you dumb ****
And in recent form they have always been out bowled by Indian attack . So , unless they win in Ashes this year , Aussie attack can’t be considered better than India .Fair point but we are going on recent form.
he isn't capable of that in indiasince at least Smith is capable of Rohit-like innings
I still back Virat but they did bat like tailenders this game.Shocking that this came from you.
