Will the schedule help India?

It will says Steve Waugh:

Former Australian captain Steve Waugh feels a favourable schedule can work to
India's advantage when they tour Down Under for a four Test series starting
later this month. Waugh said India had a “pretty good” programme with two of the
Tests taking place at spin friendly venues in Adelaide and Sydney.

“They have got a pretty good draw really,” Waugh said. “I think
there is some hope (of an Indian victory) because they are playing at two
spinner friendly venues, Adelaide and Sydney. They will have three good spinners
in their squad and that will give them the chance to take 20 wickets”.

I think more than the bowlers this schedule will help our batsmen acclimatize to the Australian pitches.

What do you feel, will this schedule help our batsmen or bowlers?
