1st Test - India v Australia Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune
2nd Test - India v Australia M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore
3rd Test - India v Australia JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi
4th Test - India v Australia Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharmasala


I know its too early but general thoughts on the selection of stadiums? I for one am excited to see the beautiful Dharamshala stadium host the last test. I think with Starc and co on Dharamshala wicket it will really be interesting

I think Ranchi will be a waste of selection. I do not see people turning out to the test format. If Dhoni would have been playing would be a different thing.

Would have loved to see a Day-Night Test match. Wonder how long it's gonna take.

Imagine a Day Night test played at Dharamshala? How awesome it would be. Small ground good bouncy wicket amazing backdrop. Picture perfect for a D/N test. Damn! the though is so tempting will start a D/N test on DBC 17 :p

True, there would be lot of dew. Also I think Dharamshala will be cold when the match will be played. The average lows are 7 degree Celsius.

Best Time to play day - night Test match in India will be during the March - May period.
But due to Ipl we can only have the time between say mid march and early April.

Australia should seriously consider picking George Bailey. He's their best batsman against spin.

Yes and he can also chat with Saha and Rahane while he is batting.

I don't follow. Is there some history behind it?

I think we would all want to see a good series where Aus will give the Indians a fright. It's nice to see India win, but we need a good game of Test cricket. Even though I doubt the Aussies are not capable of doing that, I hope they do.
Well, the only players who would do well would be Starc, Warner and maybe Smith, but no one else. Even though he has a terrible First Class average,I would want Zampa to have a go. He did very well in the IPL, and he can do well on the rank turners. Lyon is crap on these wickets. Steve O'Keefe sounds a better option over him.

I would rate the series against England as a "good" series. The scoreline (4-0) doesn't really reflect the way England played their cricket and troubled India on a number of occasions.

I suppose that Australia gonna struggle big time here.. Reason? Because of lack of quality bowling, flat indian tracks and overall not much quality batsmen against spin. Aussies would really need to play out of skin there to perform and beat them. Lets see.. Who Knows?

One of those rare series where Australia has no chance of winning. A 2-0 series defeat would probably be considered a moral victory. The squad's not quite ready to take on subcontinental conditions.

Warner / Smith / Marsh / Handscomb are good against spin :)

No Idea about Renshaw !!
Khawaja struggled badly against Spin in Lanka! Hopefully he will do better than that this time !!

Bancroft is pretty good against spin (Wildcard maybe!)

We will lose 0-4 on dust bowls, who cares. Bring on the Ashes!
