Australia vs India 2018: We can Surprise the Indians – Steve Waugh

When you travel to Australia, you not only watch their game on the field but also off it, as they are experts in playing mind games. Over the years, we came across Australian players hurting the ego of visitors on media and then taking them on the field. Meanwhile, Steve Waugh, the master tactician digs the previous record of team India to lift the spirits of the Australians.

Meanwhile, team India has always been pretty close in winning the series against Australia, but unfortunately, they never utilised the situation to their case. However, this time, it would be their best chance to thump Australians in their backyard.

India’s away form is pretty ordinary – Steven Waugh

Steve Waugh, in his recent interview with Fox Sports, quoted India is displaying top-notch skills across the formats. But, he feels they are yet to find the winning ways in overseas, which would help Australians.

Further, Waugh went on to say Australia will have an outright chance if the batsman section hands anything over 350-run tally on the board. However, the former captain is confident of the Australian bowling attack.

“India, they’re talking up a good game but they’ve come off a pretty disappointing series in England … their away form is pretty ordinary over the past five or 10 years. I think Australia might surprise actually. “They have got a very good side. They will see this as their best opportunity to win in Australia for a long time. Kohli is a great leader and a great batsman. If a couple of others follow him in and start scoring runs they are a chance,” Steve Waugh quoted.

“I think if Australia can score 350 runs in our first innings we’ll win the Test match,” said Waugh. “Our bowlers are world class and particularly in our conditions, we’ll take 20 wickets. As long as we can score runs, if we get 350 in the first innings, we’ll win the series,” he added.
