Can Australia emulate England and beat India 4-0 at home?

Having gone 2-0 up in the four-match test series, Australia have every opportunity to dethrone India and take the series 4-0. However, there are a few Aussie cricketers who are focussing on the 3rd test to start on the 13th of January
rather than thinking of a clean sweep.
India’s tour to Australia down under has back fired for the Men in Blue who were extremely confident of tormenting the Kangaroos in their own back yard. Mahinder Singh Dhoni’s men have so far faltered badly in the trying conditions of Hobart and Sydney,
and with the third test to be held in Perth, Indians would find no easier conditions at the WACA Cricket Ground.
The bounce at the WACA will no doubt kill the Indian hopes of bouncing back in the test series. Having only Zaheer Khan at their disposal compared to Australia’s Peter Siddle, Ben Hilfenhaus, Ryan Harris and Mitchel Starc, India should not even think of
winning the test and reducing the deficit to 2-1.
So far, the Indian bowling has only been relying on the experience of Zaheer Khan, and if the lefty had not been part of their squad, the likes of Umesh Yadav, Vinay Kumar, Ishant Sharma and Varun Aaron could have bettered the past record of 950 runs, scored
by Srilanka at Colombo.
Therefore, the Men in Blue must not forget that they are nothing out of their home soil, and even the likes of Zimbabwe and Kenya could batter them away from the subcontinent. Therefore, the proudest team on the planet are in serious danger of their second
successive whitewash away from home.
One thing is for sure, Indians will hardly absorb their loss and to burry that embarrassment, they will invite the Aussies to India in order to avenge for their loss and prove their mentality. This is what, they did to England to prove to the world that
they are the weirdest team on the planet.
