For the people who keep predicting 4-0 whitewashes for Australia I say, go right ahead and predict, and you guys are gona be in for one hell of a surprise.
last time India were in australia, the series was competitive and drawn 1-1...infact india outplayed australia for a fair part of that series. The players are now more mature, and have the experience needed to beat the aussies.
The batting line up is daunting and is so full up of talent that Yuvraj Singh is left out.
Laxman owns the Aussies, and I expect him to have a geat series against his favourite opponents. Ganguly is playing better than he ever has and he seems determined to go out with a bang. Only kallis has scored more runs than Ganguly this year. Tendulkar has done well against australia in the past and you can bet that he wants to leave his last tour of australia on a high note.
The indian batting I'm not worried about, its the bowling that worries me. Australia's pace men are fast and raw, while india has more of a gentle medium-fast, which should not bother a strong australian lineup.
people talk about Warne and Macgill not being there, but if they were there, it would benifit the indians as Warne and especially macgill have been thouroughly spanked by the indian batsmen.
All in all it should be a great series....my unbias prediction is a 1-1 draw, but my bias prediction has india winning 3-0
