India vs Australia 2014-15

India will tour Australia to play four Tests and a triangular series. The first Test starts on December 9, 2014 at the Adelaide Oval. The last Test starting on January 6, 2015 will be played at Sydney. The last time India toured Australia they were whitewashed four nil and failed to reach the final of the tri-series that preceded the Tests. The unfortunate death of Australian batsman Phillip Hughes has resulted in the tour itinerary being revised.

Apart from the Adelaide Oval, the other three venues for the remaining Tests are Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Cricket Ground and Sydney Cicket Ground. Australia go in as favourites despite the fact that they were trounced two nil in the United Arab Emirates by Pakistan.

The loss to Pakistan apart Michael Clarke’s side has been in very good form. In the 2013-14 Ashes they hammered England five nil and then proceeded to beat South Africa on an away tour. India on the other hand have not won a Test away from home since 2011 against the West Indies. Thereafter their performance abroad has been terrible. They recently lost three to one in England in a Test series.

Before the England loss they were trumped in New Zealand and before in a two –Test series in South Africa. MS Dhoni’s men would be hoping to change all in the series against Australia.

A triangular One-Day series involving Australia, India and England will be played after the four Tests. Thereafter the ICC World Cup 2015 will take place.
