Does the success against Home on West Indies mean India will do well in Australia

Let me take you back to a bit of history. In 1991 India was playing well at home. They beat South Africa 2-1 in one days before going to Australia. Result in Tests 4-0 Australia, Result in ODIs 5-2 Australia.
Time period 1999 good performance at home followed by 3-0 whitewash in tests and something similar in one days. Some better results in 2004 and marginally better in 2008. The media should play down the form of batsmen on home and focus on what lies ahead. Kohli was a total flop in the not so bouncy pitches of West Indies against an Okish bowling attack. We will soon find out what has he learnt in 5 mnths. Agreed Australia is not the force it used to be but their fast bowling attack on a bouncy pitch can still test the Indian Batting.
