Indians well prepared for forthcoming tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 – Cricket News Update
Indian batting star, VVS Laxman, has set sights on beating Australia in Australia, and said that his side is geared up to put up a fine show on the forthcoming tour ‘Down Under’.
After a couple of tour games between Cricket Australia Chairman’s XI and Indians, the real battle will begin with the Boxing Day Test, followed by three other encounters at Sydney, Perth and Adelaide.
Following their humiliating 4-0 defeat in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 regain their No. 1 Test status and the 37-year-old middle-order batsman
believes that the World Champions will be able to achieve this glory.
“We have won Tests there on the previous tours but not the Test series. We are well prepared for the major challenge ahead and should achieve our objective,” Laxman said in an exclusive interview with 'The Hindu'.
Australia’s bowling attack on the bouncy home tracks has always been a problem for the Sub-continent batsmen, but Laxman shared that he enjoys playing against the Aussies.
Since the veteran batsman is at the twilight of his career, the upcoming tour is likely to be his last trip to Australia as a cricketer. Hence, Laxman does not want to let the mega opportunity go in vain, saying that it will be great to score a big innings
in the tough Aussie conditions.
“I just enjoy playing against them as I always do against the other teams. But, the big knocks against the Aussies under pressure have a special place in my career,” he described.
The Australians are no more a dominant side at the big stage, as they are undergoing a reconstruction process. However, Laxman is not ready to take things lightly, insisting that the present Aussie troop is a fine mixture of young and experienced players.
“In batting they have the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942. May be, there will be a couple of new faces in bowling,” added the Hyderabad-born batsman who holds a massive experience of 130 Tests.
