    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
