The main reasons can briefly be discussed as: 1) Missing key players: In this series India missed the full services of Sachin Tendulkar, who played in the last 2 tests and Saurav Ganguly who played in the first two.Both of them didn't play together in the series , something which hurt Indian morale. 2) Erroneous pitch preparation: The 3rd test at Nagpur was a green top, during that time India was trailing 0-1 and by offering such wicket to McGrath, Gillespie is like the sheep inviting the wolves for dinner.In the final test it was a dust bowl in which India luckily dished out a consolation win. 3) Bad luck:In the 2nd test at Chennai,where India was chasing a tricky 225 and were 18/0 at stumps on 4th day, but heavens opened up on the final day, devouring a chance to level the series once for all. 4) Sloppy fielding: India performed poorly at field often missing sitters which helped Australia to pile up runs. 5)Wrong team combination:At the 3rd test which was a green top, India played 2 spinners, had they gone with 3 seamers, the bowling may be more lethal. 6) Toss factor: In India traditionally the sides wins the toss gets an advantage, at that series the visitors won at that criteria 3-1. 7)Poor umpiring: At the inaugural test Hayden was plumb at the 1st ball of the match, which was rejected by the umpire and Sehwag in the 2nd innings was given leg before on a clear inside edge, the first incident changed the course of the game as well as the series.
Good analysis. Point number 2, the pitch one, the Nagpur surface was intentionally made a green top due to fallouts of BCCI's internal politics. The culprit here was Shashank Manohar. Also, in the lead-up to the series, India wasn't in a good form. Lost the Asia Cup Final, couldn't qualify for the Final of Videocon Cup Tri-Series in Netherlands, lost the Natwest Challenge ODI Series in England and got knocked out of the first round of Champions Trophy. Back then, some analysts blamed India's absolute lack of preparation after a layoff period, which lasted over five months, after India's historic performances in Australia and Pakistan during the 2003/04 season.

Since 2000, india has lost 4 test series at home including the recent new zealand series. 2000 series vs South Africa- India was low in confidence after the disastrous Australian tour and not to forget the match fixing era 2004 vs Australia - strongest Australian team ever, indian bowling and fielding was average, but batting was very disappointing 2012 vs england - after the retirement of Ganguly, Laxman, Dravid , India was in Transition. Sachin was in Twilight of his career, Zaheer , Sehwag were out of form , except Pujara most new newcomers underperformed 2024 vs New Zealand - New Zealand spinners out bowled Indian spinners, both the experienced Players were spinless, once again India is in the transition stage
We lost 2024 NZ series bcz of our batting and not spin bowlers Ash and jadega have been our our most consistent performers in test cricket since last decade and this is the first series where both couldn't contribute much with the bat and that's the reason we lost. Jadega still had a good series but ashwin was not upto the mark. Blaming our spin bowlers to defend our senseless top order batting would be the most ridiculous thing.
@@AniruddhSingh-fc1xzNope it's 2 Forget about 1947 series count from 1969 😂😂😂bro.We were a minnows then not a team even great West Indies team used to beat us for fun in our turf. I won't count those victories.
We lost 2004 home series to Australia not because we played bad cricket it's because instead of solving the issue across the table it's drag on ground,as because before BGT 2004 india series BCCI election was held and Sharad Pawar lost the election by 2 votes as MAHARASHTRA CRICKET ASSOCIATION VOTE & another one got cancelled by jagmohan dalmia,as ex President he has a vote in case of equality he voted for ranveer Singh Mahindra and made Sharad Pawar lost, first'test we lost in Bangalore, second test was draw in Chennai as because of last day rain, then come NAGPUR ex ICC chairman & VCA president then Shashank Manohar who supported Sharad Pawar drag this issue in group made Nagpur pitch bouncy when before the day of match play saurav ganguly went on to see the pitch he had a chat with the pitch curator where he instruct to cut down the grasses but VCA authority deny it Ganguly got so much furious that he withdrawing himself from that test Rahul was captaining we lost badly that's how Australia won that series.

Michael Clarke was out lbw 2-3 times in his first test hundred otherwise he wouldn't have scored century and india could have won
When clarke return to bowl everytime ball touches the bat umpire quickly gave out..
Say thanks to Umpire Buckner

Michael Clarke was really destructive back in the days, really under appreciated i would say
But it may be an ironical fact whic is after full fledged introduction of DRS India is yet to lose a bilateral test series against Australia.
steve waugh didn't win any test series in india but ricky ponting didn't even win a test match in india.....
Damian Martyn another under appreciated gem from that untouchable Australian squad.

This series was not played in 2004. It was played probably 2005 or 2006
after champions trophy.
Dravid aajtak kabhi apne pure career me test me kabhi duck pe out nhi hue 😂
This series could be 2 n 2 drawn, 2nd test India definitely won that time, it's a bad luck
2nd test India could have won ....
3rd test choosing green pitch was a bad decision...otherwise India could have dominate the match...
Ganguly's decline started from the Nagpur Test.
They aren't the greatest team in cricket. I would say it's West indies back in 80's.

If curater had prepared the nagpur pitch which sourav wanted india would have won the series 2-1
There was no Bumra

1..v lost becoz r run machine sachin was injured n starting 2 matches
2..v lost bcoz of McGrath and warne was a part of the team
Yes v beat them n 2001 bt it was tough series bcoz sachin was also there...yes v drew series v aus n aus bt McGrath and warne was nt part of the team..otherwise result wud have been different of tht series
3..v lost tht series bcoz of r captain ganguly he wasn't scoring at all and mostly he always get scared run against class bowler...
4..r captain left the series n 3rd test match of nagpur bcoz v cudnt able to get spin friendly pitch...as per reports on that time..all media waste saying ganguly is nt part of the team bcoz of injury issue
Steve waugh knows very well in 2004 aus border gavaskar ser they didn't get pace friendly pitch...bt he still played as a captain and even without warne and McGrath
