All signs point to a dominant summer for Australia, given we are kicking India tail in our weakest format.
No Sharma, and Kohli going back to India after the first test match is really going to put India under the pump. India's going to have to win that first test to have any chance of winning the series.
Last test series in 2018/19, make no mistake, Bumrah/Sharma/Shami as a pace trio bowled very well and with the exception of the Perth test which offered the bowlers something throughout the 5 days, Pujara piled on the runs on flat pitches (winning the toss and batting first turned out to be crucial in the Adelaide/MCG/SCG conditions).
However, no Warner, no Smith and their replacements not having much of an impact didn't help, not to mention the Australian side was still finding it's feet in the aftermath of Sandpapergate.
The Aussies are much more mentally prepared this time around
