Former skipper, Steve Waugh, has anticipated Australia’s 2-1 victory against India in the upcoming Test series, despite conceding that it would be a very tough clash for the home side.
Australia’s contest with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 and company will be by the end of this year, when they take on a resilient Indian squad in the four-Test competition.
The Kangaroos are undoubtedly an unsettled unit at the moment, as their recent records in the longest version of the sport are not pretty impressive. Meanwhile, the senior guys such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 are struggling with their batting form.
The injury problem of the pace spearheads, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945, is another big worry for the Aussies.
In such circumstances, the combat against India will surely be a hard outing for Clarke and his men. Despite admitting all the realities, Waugh is hopeful of a fantastic show by his country’s Test crew, saying that the Aussies will be the favourites in the
forthcoming contest against the Indians.
"It's a difficult one, but Australia might spring up a surprise and win 2-1," Waugh said.
The former skipper, who led Australia to the historic World Cup triumph in 1999, was a part of review committee which recently recommended radical changes including the termination of the coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Timothy-John-Nielsen-c94043, and the management.
He feels that the improvement cannot be brought overnight, and the guys will take a little time to gel as a unit under the command of the new coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969.
"I was part of the Argus review which made a lot of recommendations. Some of those are just being implemented. New coach Mickey Arthur, new group of selectors with Clarke and Arthur part of it, so it's a period of change in Australian cricket and may have
unsettled the team a little bit. I see guys out on the park being talented enough to beat any team, but they haven't been together for a long time," shared the 46-year-old, who is widely regarded as Australia’s one of the all time greats.
