I also do not consider the spin friendly conditions of the Sydney Cricket Ground to give much of an advantage to India. The SCG is only considered spin friendly in comparison to other Aussie wickets which are the hardest and fastest in the world. It is maintained by Aussie ground keepers who will make it as pace friendly as possible and it will be nothing like the dusty wickets of the subcontinent.
I still think India should be a big underdog going into this game because they never play well against Australia in Australia. They have only won 10 of 42 games all time including being 1-13 at the SCG.
