Australia tour of India (Feb '17/Mar '17)

Big statement buddy. I'll hold on to that.

I know a few people will. But I've waited 20 years to make such a statement. I was 10 when the the trips to Australia sponsored by Ansette were whitewashed and India were properly bullied by the likes of McGrath who made whitewash claims and often achieved it. Had a hard time hearing no end of the Aussies. Time to give some back.

2013? Did you forget the epic revenge?

Iconic. Debutants had beaten the mighty Aussies. Shikhar Dhawan (who is now the king of single digits) had smashed his debut ton. And Pujara had scored a mighty double ton.

Hope we can replicate the same this time around.

I didn't predict it before the series neither did I expect it. This time I'm bullish about it and I want to let it be known. When it's done, I want to brag about it!

4-0 seems too far fetched in my opinion. But if you feel so strongly about it, so be it. I'm expecting it to be 2-1 in favor of India.

Australia got whitewashed 3-0 by Sri Lanka, who are arguably a worse team than Bangladesh now.

Australia got whitewashed 3-0 by Sri Lanka ....

Which could prove to be a blessing in disguise. They might not repeat the same mistakes. Also, I don't think the pitches will be the same as they encountered in SL.

Did they learn from the previous two drubbings in Asia?

The people who made the mistake aren't on the plane from Australia. Just watch Jadeja and Ashwin have Smith and Warner for breakfast and lunch. I think Lyon will be good. I think Warner and Smith will also perform. The rest of it though..

May be Shastri can tell Chappell that if they keep losing like this we will have to stop calling them!

I m also expecting a 4 nil drubbing.
For the couple of days in the first or even the second match the contest will definitely be there but as the tour progresses the wheel will come off.

Also Chappell is the worst commentator i have ever seen he will say some bizzare thing on air like Commenting from which village Rabada is (Rabada actually bought up in city).

So what we call Pakistan after the recent series.? Worse than Nepal? Every team has their ups and downs.
We learn from our mistakes, and improve.
So as everyone do.

4-0 in India in 2013. 2-0 in the UAE against Pakistan in 2014. 3-0 in Sri Lanka in 2016. When did they improve? Australia never had an "up" in Asia after 2011. Only "downs".

So what? If this generation won't, the next generation will. That's not the end of the world.
But they are really trying hard to play on conditions like this.
And I am sure all Australian true fans will get a lot more positivity from this tour.. Go Aussie. Whitewash India.
