The Men In Blue are set to take on the Aussies from December 26, and while they have not beaten the Kangaroos in an away series, Symonds feels that the sub-continent giants have a fair enough chance to beat his national side teammates this time around.
"Indians can put pressure on the young Australian players. They have a good opportunity to beat http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in their home country. I think there are good chances of India beating them," the 36-year-old all-rounder said.
Indeed, with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392.
With the duo putting an inspiring debut performance against the Kiwi’s, it has given the host camp strength in depth in the pace bowling department, who now feel content with the quality at their disposal which will allow them to cope with the mounting injury
worries.
However, this could also make the team vulnerable against a power packed middle-order for the Men In Blue, which possess some experience personnel in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772, who could exploit the relatively raw bowling lineup.
For Symonds, therefore the series will also provide a young Aussie side with ample opportunity to put on a good show, which could go a long way in ensuring that the team is finally gearing up to allow youngsters a fair chance, in becoming a back bone for
the Kangaroos for a considerable future.
"However, the young Australian players too have an opportunity to beat the Indians. There are positive chances for both the sides. One needs preparation and also needs to respond properly in big games," he added.
The Boxing Day match will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium, where a packed crowed is expected to watch the much awaited clash.
