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
