But of the five Tests they've played at Bengaluru (or Bangalore as the thriving commercial hub in the central southern state of Karnataka was known when the Australians first ventured there for a Test in 1979) that success ratio is 40 per cent. Indeed, they have lost just once from five Tests at the cavernous Chinnaswamy Stadium (in 2010) and one prominent former Australia Test bowler yesterday suggested the ground was "the Lord's of India", invoking Australia's remarkable record at cricket's historic home in London where they have been defeated just twice in the past eight decades.
