its been happening since so many years now players like sachin,dravid,sehwag has seen this in almost every series down under.
please dont forget that the same thing happens to aussies when they visit india.
if indian players find it difficult to play on bouncy pitches similarly the aussie players find it difficult to play on flat tracks of india.

They won 2-1 in India in 2004. But India never won a series in Australia. Even when they lost a match, they go down fighting. What about Indian Cricket team?

if Ind bat first or second they will lose.They r not able to play on bouncy wicket even any of the subcontinent player
I feel something different now after so consistence Indian batting collapse abroad in test matches, I think it’s due to Great IPL, batsman are accustomed to play shots to any ball rather than playing slow in test matches. Selectors should not allow to play those players in Test cricket who are playing in IPL or in any T 20 format. That is the only way to get good results in upcoming abroad series.

The argument doesn't hold water. India has struggled abroad as far as I can remember. India has competed abroad a couple of times. But those were exceptions (Australian tour 2003/04) and usually sign of a waning opposition (Think West Indies, New Zealand).
IPL is a recent phenomenon. The fact is Indian batsmen are ill equipped to play on bouncy pitches, because they are brought up on flat tracks in India.
Indian cricketers will go on earning huge money and people will go on worshiping them irrespective of losing test series. What happened after white wash in UK?

Few days back someone commented on this forum that who ever is flop and wants to regain form needs to play against indian cricket team.Its proved correct again in the case of pointing and Clarke getting his first double hundred of his carrer.Shame we spend such huge money on this good for nothing cricketers and they just bring shame to the country.
