Who thrashed India harder?

From a neutral perspective, Australia seems a lot worse.
- England were a top class side with all guns firing, while Australia seems a lot more vulnerable yet still is able to dominate.
- India are not suffering from injuries this time around, expectations were a lot higher this time around
- The bowling has been roughly as shambolic on both occasions, though Praveen Kumar in England was at least semi-decent
- The batting has been a lot worse this time around, 4 totals of sub-200 and not a single 100 from the top five and none of them averaging even 40. At least Dravid was a saving grace in England, for Kohli to outperform them on such a high profile tour is sheer embarassment.

you don't know the bcci if you think that...the only change that might happen is rank turners in india for the next series like gambhir was pleading for...and it would be really fitting if they lose in india as well...

Nah, 1-13.
I'd say Australia. The first 2 tests in England were vaguely competitive, whereas here India were only really in the 1st in Australia. Australia could've also handed out 3 innings defeats had they wanted to, whereas England only handed out 2.
Add to the fact that Australia were in far worse form than England......

He's currently the proud holder of a 1-12 record in Australia.

The first Test was a pounding. The 2nd Test was competitive until Broad's hat-trick - after that it turned into the biggest thrashing I've seen.
India were more competitive in Melbourne than at any point in England.

Plus Australia lost a couple of first-choice bowlers for the series.

England lost Tremlett after the first Test.

This.
India have the memories of the England tour and folded quickly here.
Both great performances by the home sides though.

And like us basically ended up with your best attack by default anyway (although we haven't quite fielded what most would consider our strongest 4-man attack)

Tremlett's a better bowler than Bresnan IMO. It's by a small enough margin for Bresnan's batting and increased likelihood of being fit (current injury aside) to surpass but he's better at sending the ball down the other end than Bres IMO.
