If thus was in India I would agree with you, but on flat Aussie wickets I think we can score enough provided we keep Kohli in check.

I think our issue is our batting. We don't have a single batsman averaging more than 45. Our strength is our bowling and we'll have to rely on that to ensure we stay in the game. We're unlikely to have big hundreds scored by our side. Our best batsman is probably Usman Khawaja but we'll need someone to go with him.
Not sure why the talk India favourites they don’t score enough runs here and there military mediums and spinners are ineffective

They've got some good pace bowlers out here this time and Ishant Sharma is in some really good form. They managed to draw two matches in the previous series through good, long batting. Australia doesn't exactly have a star-studded batting line up. We don't have anyone averaging above 45 without Smith and Warner.

Ishant Sharma never performs out here. And the Indian batters with the exception of Tendulkar in years past and more recently Kohli can’t adapt to the pace and bounce out here. Our batters may all average mid 30’s but on Aussie wickets they are a different proposition altogether. Guys like Shaun Marsh are hopeless on turners or seamers but are very effective at home.

"Lets compare 2024 dragons attitude to eels 2024. Dragons belted a good warriors team with effort and a great defensive pattern. Shows Flanagan in a short space can turn a team around. "

You were saying...
Finch the pretender already out
Would much prefer Renshaw to be honest.
He’s clearly a superior red ball player
