India's All-time Test XI in Australia

#5 Seamers

Let us look at the options for the seamers slot.

Ajit Agarkar

Agarkar picked 27 wickets in 7 matches in Australia at an average of 35.07. He also picked a fifer. He is one of the highest wicket-takers among the Indian seamers.

Javagal Srinath

Javagal Srinath struggled in Australia. In 8 games he picked 20 wickets at an average of over 50.

---

Zaheer Khan

Zaheer also doesn't have great stats in Australia. In 7 games he picked 25 wickets at an average of 35.08. He has a fifer to his name in Australia.

Ishant Sharma

Ishant in 10 Tests in Australia picked 20 wickets at a very high average of 62.15. Though he wasn't able to pick a fifer in Australia, he will be remembered for his tough spell against Ponting wherein he bothered the batsman in 2008.

Ajit Agarkar takes the first seamer's position because of his number of wickets and his average is also a lot better than most of the others. Zaheer Khan's average is on the higher side but he takes the second seamer's position because he had pace and experience and hence would be able to trouble the batsmen.
