    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    Yup. Mayank, Gill, Siraj, NKR, Rana - all debuted in Aus and hit the ground running. Not possible in an older system. Aus players are still good (at least by records) and might even win the series but in the long run traffic will be one way. The 2020s are the transition period by the end of...

    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    The difference between both batting lineups which are both brittle is that the Aus one is old and the Ind one is young (except for Kohli/Rohit). In general, old players become worse and young ones become better. Maybe this series is one where this "becoming" will progress more? Ashes 2013-14...

    Yeah plus enough runs to work with. Doesnt matter if you win by 200 or 300.

    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    That also had a lot to do with the pitches. England would have won 3-0 if Pak didn't become so desperate. Don't think Australia is gonna start the same tactics (although with the weakness of the Indian batting against spin, would be the best way to win). Pacey pitches actually help India...

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    Naah. Like I said you have to be best of everyone else. Non big 3 have had multiple whitewashes over last few years so they definitely cannot be it. If Ind win, they will have better record than the other two and also have defeated them home/away. Being best isn't winning everything, it's...

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    Cannot be any of the non big 3 because those teams go through multiple whitewashes both home/away. Ind just had this one in recent years. If Ind win this series, they will have better records than the other two and also have defeated them at home and away (drawn in Eng).

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    I'd say NZ constantly getting whitewashed at home by Aus for decades is.

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    Yeah that will make the team better.

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    I'd say winner of this series. Even SL was whitewashed by Pak last year and NZ by Aus this year. Pak by Bang also.

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    naah. doesn't erase recent records. nz themselves have been whitewashed at home this year plus away. eng decent at home but has not won against ind and aus and has been poor away. If Ind win this @ home - win vs everyone else, loss vs nz @ away - win/draw vs everyone else, loss vs nz Eng -...

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    Best doesn't mean ATG. I'd say whoever wins this series is. Look at home/away series vs all teams and compare.

    vs eng in eng must be lower. wtc final screws it up.

    naah. Conditions matter. After WTC final, Ind put Shardul in who did well in both Trent Bridge and Oval. And Shardul is not even a very good player. Pandya has also won Ind a match in TB.

    Just needed to give some respite to the main bowlers and take advantage of conditions if there is any help.

    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    Root has feasted on flatter tracks and weaker attacks in recent times. Was ok at best in Ind on flat pitches. Even in 2021 scored big in the 1st match and then failed on turners in the rest. Same with the recent Pak series. Was poor in Aus as well. Slightly more consistent but has never been...

    Was good in SA too. Can't play on turners.

    He was just the best option available. A pace bowling AR just gives balance.
