Great analysis. I do feel that Australia is leading the ranking board in the test format though India is definitely not close behind. India's biggest issue is that they keep choking in crucial encounters.
The big ICC cup winners are remembered to a greater extent when compared to smaller tournament(Home and Away) winners.
Yeah, I mentioned this point in my previous posts " Only Piss poor in ICC knockouts". In this department, Australia got an immense edge over India.
But in Test format, they are slightly lagging. One main parameter to judge is to just look at how both of these teams perform in each other's territories. The last time Australia won test series in India was way back in 2003-04 and India has won 2 series in Australia.
Don't judge Australia performance when they are up against low ranking teams like Pakistan or Windies, especially when they are playing at home. One can make an argument for an away series though, even against low ranking teams because most of the teams are largely dominating at home.
