Should be a good little series. Australia was triumphant last time these sides played in India for ODIs, but India had the edge 2 years back in the 4 test series. If Australia win this series I think India will lose it's no.1 ranking.

For me India is clearly facourites in this little series. I only have some doubts on indian bowling but their batting is too strong for Australia. It will be very difficult for Australia to win it this time. Harbhajan will be the key.

It was never supposed to be a test series in the first place, I think it was supposed to be a 7 match ODI series which was later turned into a 2 test and 3 ODI series because India wanted to play more tests.

ANyways, should be a good series. India start as favorites in test matches and certainly it'll be very very sifficult for Australia to beat India at home, I can't see that happening, even in Mohali which is regarded as India's fastest pitch.

In the ODI's though AUS are favorites in my view, India are a better test side than an ODI side and AUS are a better ODI side than a test side, so my prediction... Tests India 1-0, ODI's AUS 2-1.

Sam India's bowling is too weak it wont be easy for them to bowled Australia out twice and if Australia lose i will leave this forum for 2 mins .

I would say in test 1/0 Australia and in Odi 2/1 Australia.

India's batting is mighty strong Mystery, It will be very difficult for AUS to bowl them out. Also I have serious doubts over how effective Hauritz will be. As for India's  bowling I think Zaheer will be the key man. He makes a big big difference in this Indian bowling line up. Sreesanth is also a good bowler but India won't play him, they will stick with Ishant.

However, if any place then Mohali is the best chance for AUS to beat India, It is a track that is generally regarded as helpful for Fast bowlers, if Johnson and co can step up then may be, but still it is very difficult.

If Harbhajan is going to keep bowling darts and yorkers , and forget the bounce that got him all his wickets in 2001 then Australia will win. Even someone like Mishra will give the Aussies trouble. Spin will win it for India, forget about Zaheer and co.
Australia's key batsman for this series is Simon Katich, who plays spin well and has been effective in India. Clarke will also be a key batsman and his style of attacking spinners, and wonderful footwork will be an asset. I can't honestly say how well North or Ponting will fair and I have concerns over Michael Hussey.
Batting keys for Australia will be Katich, Clarke and Haddin.
Bowling keys will be Bollinger and Watson for mine.

First of all that is an impossibility, Aussies should be happy if they draw the matches.Winning a test match against India with the team Aussies have now is just impossible.
 
Just for fun, Currently India is at 127 pts, even if India lose 0-2 to Aussies then they will come to 122 pts, even then India will be clearly 3 points ahead of #2 team (which is at 119 pts).
 
Well such has been India's supremacy in Test over last few years Smile.

Is there any day of the week when you head isn't that far up your backside?

It's impossible for Australia to beat a team of pensioners and an attack featuring a recently recovered Zaheer Khan, the useless Harbhajan and Sharma who hasn't taken a wicket for about 4 years?

He thinks that every team is like his team which even struggles to beat SL and than they say they are no.1.Both Sharma's should retire all Sharma's are useless.

I can't remember Ishant doing anything of note since the series against Australia in 2007/8 That's a hell of a long time ago in cricket terms.

100% correct Milky. There is a practice match going on against Ind Pres XI and Australia are doing really well. Australians 319/1 (90.0 ov)
Watson and Katich both scoring hundreds.

Ponting and Clarke make sharp 40s, North is 58* at lunch and is with Paine also not out on 25.
Sreesanth and Ojha did not test the Aussies at all on day 1 too much, and they are in the Indian squad.
Doesn't matter anyway, it's impossible for Australia to win this series Wacko

With India's weak bowling attack, it makes it harder for them to win against the Aussies but their batting line up is quite strong, Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Tendulkar, laxman, Dhoni is going to be quite hard in home conditions, nevermind how much of pensioners they might seem.

I agree SW their batting lineup is very strong but if Australia bat first and score 500-550 than they might struggle. It will be interesting to see how Raina goes.

Talks going about by the Aussies of peppering Sehwag with short stuff.  Being honest, Sehwag will belt balls all around the ground no matter which line and length, with the exception being the well directed fast, short stuff so the Aussies have a good point there.

Second thing though, Sehwag picks up the length so early that he usually just duck or get out of the line and let the bouncers pass and if they barely miss the line, he'll pull out the uppercut which he plays as effective as anybody does. 
 
It's a gamble but as is the case with such good players, that's what you have to do to try and get them early on.  As Warnie use to say, great players, you have to attack them from the start and try and get them out as quickly as possible - that's your best bet.

I just love the way Sehwag plays - no fear. But I think the big in swingers pitched up is the real deal against Viru. Have seen him getting out bowled off in swingers many a times.

The key with Sehwag is that he gets pretty much all his runs in the first innings. If you can get him early in the first innings with the swinging new ball you have a shot of pretty  much negating him from scoring run in the match. Sachin is still the big wicket, he scores big on both innings and is the most technically complete to combat any sort of bowling. I think Hilfenhaus, who took 5-for in the warm up, will  be the key to getting Sachin out. His only real weakness is susceptibility to nicking outside off stump to a good length delivery , which Hilfenhaus would deliver best. Albeit, this is a weakness common among most batsmen.

Yes, I've seen Sehwag go in that fashion quite a bit but I think the Sehwag now compare to the one before he was dropped from the side is much more technically sound in that he doesn't get as much lbw, bowls or those flashing edges flying to gully/slips like he use to.  For me, the way he has played during this comeback time has been very remarkable.  Seems so much stronger off the pads, off the hips, to the inswingers, through square on the off side and I think his average reflects that too.

News is that Harbhajan is injured and is likely to miss the first test, However, the Aussies are believing this to be a part of the strategy by the Indians and that Harbhajan will all of a sudden be fit to play by the time the first test starts. The Aussies have said "we know he will play".

Watson is in excellent form, Milky has said that he is turning out to be some sort of a run machine and indeed he has scored centuries in both the innings in the warm up game. Katich is in terrific form as well.

Watson got injured in NZ and then he sort of struggled in his last couple of tests  against Pakistan. But his form in ODIs and then in this tour match indicates that he's feeling 100% now. Didn't do a lot with the bat in England against Pakistan, but took 2 5-fors (pretty importantly too as the front liners weren't as successful). So he'll be looking to make runs this time.

Whatever little chance India had of bowling out Aussie just has to be thrown out the window if Harbhajan doesn't play, nevermind he isn't that much a wicket taking threat nowadays.
 
Unless the wicket is really turning (which I'd favour India), I think we might see some drawn games.

well apparently Harbhajan has started bowling in the nets and now they say he may play! so it looks like the Aussies were right!

Yes we may even see some drawn games, may be both of them!
