Australia 6/1 for 3-1 India triumph

It is set to be a very emotional series but the show must go on and Australia and India should produce a cracking matchup. But the hosts should prove too strong and are 6/1 for a 3-1 victory.

India are perennial poor travellers, as their capitulation in England last summer showed, and away to Australia is the toughest assignment in world cricket. But they did nick the Lord's Test and they have enough class to push Australia hard.

But the Aussies, fuelled by the inspiration of Phillip Hughes' death, still posses perhaps the best quick bowling line up in world cricket and provided they avoid disaster with the bat they should run out winners by a margin. Back them at 6/1 to prevail 3-1.
