I don't think it will be easy for India in Aus.
Did you watch Shaun Marsh-Michael Clarke in the first test first innings? (of course nobody watched the second innings, oru tea saaptu varadhukkuLLa mudinju pOchchu)
Much rests on Zaheer.

Plus their bowling will be stronger when they are back home.

It's never easy in Aus. People are confident because this Aussie team is a pale shadow of what it was 4 years ago.

naan paartha varaikkin, 1999 team than strongest.. 2003 kooda, mcgrath & warne illa...

^Warnie is a non-entity against us..my grip is we have to constantly outbat them unless bowlers come to the fore..in home conditions Mussey will be a beast

It will not be easy - mainly because when Ponting comes to form, he'll come to not ungappan or engappan veettu form but monstrous form. 242.257.209* ipdi sequence adippaan. Plus, they seem to have found decent bowling now. England faced Bad Mitch, Trier Siddle, HoHum Hilfy and injured Bollinger not to mention Beer, Wine, X-Man et al. Now they have unearthed a good fast bowling youngster in Cummins and Lyon is steady, while Copeland is promising. Harris is injured now - means he'll be fit for India tests. So, essentially, England faced a soththai team last year while we get a decent team to face. This is not the same as 1999 team or the 2007 team but it is better than last year. 2003 didn't have a great bowling attack - unfortunately we lost Zaheer so couldn't take advantage. Besides, I will take any win - don't the Aussies still thump the desk in pride of a whitewash against a team that read "Ramesh, Prasad, Agarkar etc"? Varalaaru miga mukkiyam. 100 yearskappuram varum madaiyargalukku Rickyless Australiavai jeyichomnu puriyavA pOgiRadhu? But anyway the genie has been unleashed. India will suffer - pona varusham England kooda form-ukku vandhurukkalAmE, ipdi polamba vechuttAnE Ricky

PR,

easynnu sollalaye.. we will do well-nu thaane sonnom.. Zak shd be back by them.. Ishant thaan sariyilla.. PK will also do well in australian conditions.. Ashwin can be handful.. Hope they dont include Bhajji..
Our batting is very strong with all the players in form.. [except the No.6 though..] Out batting advantage neutralise the bowling advantage Aus has... we to got good bowlers though that will be their advantage.. overall an interesting series in the waiting.. and India might come out victorious.. I somehow fel Ricky wont do much against India this time..
