“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.
