http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321 “The Wall” Dravid refuses to consider current Australian side an easy prey for India in their upcoming tour of the Kangaroo land. The iconic right-hander holds true that both sides are evenly matched in every area of the
game and Aussies are a formidable opponent despite losing some of their big shots.
Referring to Australia’s recent outings against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, Dravid said, “There will two evenly-matched teams. They have definitely lost some of the big names, some of the great players, but we have seen their
performance against New Zealand and South Africa."
"There is no particular target in terms of runs. The only target is to win the series. Hopefully, we prepare well, and play well. Australia is a great place to play cricket. It's a great challenge,” he added.
Aussies have India’s number when it comes to playing at home as the tourists haven’t won a single Test series on Australian soil. However, this time things may turn out different, as the Men in Blue will go with a fully fit squad
while the host’s list of injured players is just getting bigger each day.
Aussie will already miss the services of the left-arm pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Cummins, the 18-year-old bowler who
is out of the Indian series because of a bruised bone.
Dravid believes that Cummins absence will not be felt as Aussies have loads of potential and guys like James Pattison can rise to the occasion. The 38-year-old said, “It’s not just about Cummins, even (James) Pattison can be good.
We are not focussed on any particular individual.”
There is a silver lining for Australia as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 are recuperating from their respective injuries and are expected to be part of the roster that plays against India.
The four-match Test series between India and Australia kicks-off with a game at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Boxing Day. The Test series will be followed by tri-nation tournament involving India, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 and Australia.
