The prolific middle-order Indian batsman VVS Laxman is looking forward to score some match winning centuries against Australia in the four-match Test series, starting in Melbourne on Boxing Day.
While praising the Australian grounds, Laxman said that it’s always been his dream to outclass the Aussies on their own pitches.
"I always dreamt of doing well in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. It has wonderful grounds,” said Laxman while talking to the media reporters ahead of the first Test. “I wish to score those hundreds which help the team win...if it is a nightmare for Australia, I hope it continues,"
he added further.
Laxman’s magical stroke-play and composure coupled with a steely determination have helped him dominate the Australian bowlers at home over the past decade.
After http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, Laxman is the most successful Indian batsman on Australian grounds. He has scored 1,081 runs in 11 Test matches played on various Australian grounds, at an impressive average of 54.05. His tally of 1081 runs is laced with four centuries
and three half centuries.
Laxman rated the Australian wickets as batting paradise decks, adding that these pitches are ideal for stroke-players.
"I think Australian surfaces are best for batting,” said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s middle order mainstay. “I relish them more than the sub-continent. Once you see off the new ball, you get true value for your shots. These wickets are ideal for stroke-players," he added further.
India has not won a single Down Under series against Australia over the past six decades. For this year’s series, there are mixed speculations as to which team will win. Many think this is the best chance for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 to add a new-fangled feather
in his memorable tenure as captain by winning the first ever Down Under series against a callow Australian squad.
Laxman said that winning against Australia is a dream for all cricketers and they all are excited to achieve the milestone. Analysing India’s past performances against Australia, the experienced Test batsman said that they had not been able to get big scores
in first innings and urged the Indian batsmen to put some big totals on the board in the forthcoming series, if they want to win the series.
