Talking Points:



  • The marketing of the India v Australia rivalry: and its evolution over the years

  • The profusion of India-Australia cricket in the last 25 years - and the relative dearth in the 15 years prior

  • The influence of Kerry Packer on modern cricket commentary

  • The legends around the Australian teams from the past: rugged, macho, sleek, hyper-efficient

  • The IPL effect: and how it is much harder to hype this current Australian team

  • The importance of Jasprit Bumrah through the five Tests

  • The potential XI for both sides for Perth: will India go with Reddy or Prasidh?

  • Australia's own ageing problem - and how it could soon catch up with them

  • A great chance for many young Indians to leave a mark on the series
