MELBOURNE : A confident and wiser Australia are well-equipped to take the fight to India in a series that could literally be decided by a coin-toss, according to former test bowler Ryan Harris.

With the core of the 2016/17 squad remaining but embellished with more batting depth, Harris said Pat Cummins' team had every reason to fancy their chances in the four-test series starting in Nagpur on Thursday. "If India's batters put 350 or 400 on the board first up, you’re almost in survival mode to try to save the game, which is really hard to do," said the 43-year-old Queenslander, who has coached Indian Premier League sides since his brief but exceptional 27-test career wound up in 2015.

Though India have plenty of bowling options in their extended squad, he felt injured paceman Jasprit Bumrah's absence was a massive blow for Rohit Sharma's team.
