India at home .
 Are you sure Felix?

 

Starc took 25 wickets in SL at 12 iirc earlier this year.

Shami was a handful with reverse swing and Starc's a fair bit quicker.

Also I didn't say Australia would win

I see the Aussies getting mauled like we did

yeah..they were decimated in the UAE and not much has changed to prepare them better. sadly, we don't really see teams doing that well outside of home conditions.

With Shaun marsh fit, take it Maddison will get the boot for the final test

[Alvaro]

Nope. Maddison dropped with Agar or Cartwright to take his place. O'Keefe also in the squad.

[csnew]

Not sure what the Aussie love affair is with agar. Every BBL game they praise him for every little thing he does. Yes he got runs on his debut but not done much since

[Felix Tito]

Aussie could go in with 3 spinners at the SCG...

[Number4]

Surely we can't be that bad. We have a captain who is far better at playing for a win and is not a broken man. And our bowlers are far better than the dross England served up.

Don't really see Lyon/O'Keefe/Agar giving Kohli too many sleepless nights...

They got decimated by a "weak" SL side. Quite recently. What has changed since then?

And I am by no means saying India is unbeatable- they are likely to repeat their own defeats at the hands of Eng / AUS next time they go on tour.

Just bet on home team (unless the touring side plays on similar pitches...like SA vs Australia, pak vs sl etc)

What's going on with the Aussie selectors? Ferguson gets one test, Maddinson two, then axed. It's like England in the 1990s! If you pick a bloke (as a genuine selection, not horses for courses etc) and genuinely can decide he's not good enough after one or two games, it's the selectors who deserve binning, not the player.

[Shinpathy]

Maddison has had 3 horrific Tests and he brings nothing to the table, deservedly dropped.

[Number4]

Renshaw and Handscomb were selected on form Maddison wasn't.

What's changed is we have a far better balanced batting line up who are giving the bowlers totals to bowl at

Warner picking up where he left off from last test match. Punishing the bad balls

[Felix Tito]

Pakistan seem to be mentally shot after the drubbing in New Zealand and the epic meltdown at the MCG. Warner is ridiculous though. 8 boundaries in the opening half an hour
