The former Australian batsman said the bouncy and fast pitches will always suit Australian and India would be hard to defeat on rank turners in Asian countries, so a battle on a neutral and balanced track would spell out the correct judgement.
India are leading the on-going four-match series 2-0 after thrashing the visitors in Chennai and Hyderabad.
Jones said two venues -- Kensington Oval in Barbados and Auckland -- are the best for the contest.
"Australia's record here is four wins from 11 matches - commendable, considering most of the matches were played against the greatest sporting team of all time. While India have not won a Test match here, I feel their attack would worry the Aussies.
"India need to bat first here and bat well to win. I still feel the Australian attack would cause problems here, especially if the tide comes in when they bowl. The ball seems to go everywhere when that happens," he wrote.
