5 reasons why Australia might defeat India in the Test series

#4 India's inability to wrap up the tail

India should fear Mitchell Starc, the batsman more than Mitchell Starc, the bowler

Let me reveal an astonishing statistic from the last India vs Australia series (played in Australia). Mitchell Starc had a batting average of 52.00 and not only that, Mitchell Johnson had scored only 2 runs less than Michael Clarke in the entire series. This all point us towards India's weakness in the bowling attack. The bowlers have been able to dismiss the top order batsmen but when it comes to wrapping up the opposition tail, the Indian bowlers have failed miserably.

The same was witnessed in the earlier series against England where Sam Curran led England's charge in the lower order and got support from Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and James Anderson. To win the Test series, India should prepare a strategy to dismiss the Australian tail quickly since they were one of the key reasons why Australia won the last 4-match series in Australia.
