I disagree with Racheal slightly - I don't think this is the biggest series the world of cricket has seen since the last time Aus and Ind played in India. For the Indian Team, and for their fans at least I think the series in Pakistan meant more than this series. BUT having said that this series is no way a "small" or insignificant series by any standards, certainly for Australia it's their most important series since the Ashes.

But then as some one would say these teams always bring about the best in each other so the hype is well and truely worth its billing - at least on paper.
