5 reasons why Australia are favorites to win against India

2. Michael Clarke and his captaincy:

Australia have looked a different team since Michael Clarke returned to the playing XI. His aggressive captaincy and anchoring batting style has meant that another valuable player George Bailey has had to sit out of the last few games. Clarke is also Australia’s best player against spin and will be helpful in negating the dual spin threat of Ashwin and Jadeja. His captaincy will also provide us with a game of chess against an equally clever captain in MS Dhoni.
