this should be the indian team for whole series except the sydney test. M.Dhoni (Capt.) Sachin Sehwag Dravid Laxman Gambhir Zaheer Ashwin Ishant Yadav Vinay Kumar
india have strong star studded batting line up hence they should go with 5 specialist bowlers ie 4 pacemen & 1 spinner.also the aussie bowling is not strong enough.
History says that we have never won a Test series in 70 years in SA and Australia. In the recent tours of England and SA India had problems with getting 20 wickets. The 3rd Test in SA we let the tail-enders hand around.
A more fresh approach for India is to consider a 4-prong seam attack:
Zaheer Ishant Yadav and Vinay Kumar.
The recent success with Bracewell as the 4th seamer for NZ worked well.
A 4th spinner has been the traditional approach but typically it will take away the pressure from the batting side.
Vinay Kumar is accurate and bowls around 81-85 mph in India. Should be around 82-87 mph in Australia. I would personally would not mind risking a 4th seamer to get the tail-enders out.

do not blame the umpires and never underestimate the aussies..remember they are playing in their own tailor made pitch
the australians also started their game plan - war of words - so that the indian players get destracted to it and under perform.... just ignore them and concentrate on our game else we can see another debacle like the one seen in England
