Former Australia coach John Buchanan has backed the Australian team to come up triumphant when they take on India in the highly anticipated five-match Test series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which gets underway with the first Test in Perth on November 22.
Buchanan feels lack of preparation time which is a common problem for touring teams around the world could tilt the scales in the favour of the hosts.
"I never give predictions on numbers but I think Australia are favourites going into the series right at this stage. Particularly again, if you look around, it's very difficult to tour other countries and the reasons for that is travelling teams no longer have that time for preparation to adjust to the conditions because nobody wants to tour for that long. That makes it very difficult when you go to Perth where it's fast and bouncy," Buchanan stated this at the launch of 'Ready Steady Go kids' multi-sport program for the CP Goenka International School.
The two-time ODI World Cup winning coach also felt it will be a classic series as both teams are evenly balanced as it stands.
