Harbhajan Singh said Australia don't stand a chance in the four-match Test series against India, especially if spin-friendly pitches are laid out. He also felt Australia's inexperienced batsmen lacked the quality of their predecessors like Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke and Adam Gilchrist.
"If Australia play well, India will win 3-0. That is if Australia play well. Otherwise, 4-0," Harbhajan was quoted as saying by the New Daily. "I don't think the wickets [in India] are going to be that easy for them. If the ball starts spinning from the first ball, I don't think they will survive for long.
"Players like [Matthew] Hayden, Gilchrist, Ponting, [Damien] Martyn, [Michael] Clarke were all top-class batters. This team - apart from [David] Warner and [Steve] Smith - I don't think they will be able to play the game they play in Australian conditions, here in India. It is going to be a tough series for them."
