It's tough to call but Australia might beat India 2-1: Waugh

NEW DELHI: Australia might have been left an "unsettled" team due to a few setbacks and sweeping changes in the past six months but former captain Steve Waugh still foresees Michael Clarke's men winning 2-1 against India in the Test series starting next month.

Australia, a team struggling to retain it's aura in a period of transition, will square off against India in a four-match Test series starting December 26.

"It's a difficult one, but Australia might spring up a surprise and win 2-1," Waugh said.

Waugh, who was part of the review committee on whose recommendation changes were made to the team set-up, said Australia will take time to gel as a team after having a new coaching staff in place.

"We've got through a lot of change in the last six months in Australian cricket. I was part of the Argus review which made a lot of recommendations. Some of those are just being implemented," Waugh said.

"New coach Micky 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.

"So it's probably our biggest danger right now. I see guys out on the park being talented enough to beat any team, but they haven't been together for a long time," he added.

Asked if it is India's best chance to beat the Aussies in their own backyard, Waugh said at least that is the mindset Dhoni's men should have for the tough assignment.

Sehwag predicted Warner's Test debut 2 years ago

Australia opener David Warner has credited Virender Sehwag for inspiring him to transform his game, and said the Indian cricketer had foreseen his Test debut two years ago. The dashing 25-year-old batsman, known for his big hitting abilities in the shorter versions of the game, has been
in irresistible form this year for his state New South Wales and Australia A and is all set to make his Test debut against New Zealand at Brisbane on Thursday.

With only 11 first-class matches under his belt, Warner has revealed that a discussion with his Indian Premier League side team-mate, Sehwag had made him believe in his abilities as a Test player.

"When I went to Dehli, Sehwag watched me a couple of times and said to me 'You'll be a better Test cricketer than what you will be a Twenty20 player'," Warner was quoted as saying by the Australian media.

"I basically looked at him and said 'Mate, I haven't even played a first-class game yet'," he added.

Sehwag, who will be a part of Indian squad for the upcoming Test tour of Australia this summer, has an outstanding strike rate of 82.12 in Tests, a facet which impressed Warner as he intends to adopt the attacking style of the flamboyant Indian opener.

"(Sehwag) always says that the more balls that you see you're going to be tempted to try and score runs but you've just got to keep in the back of your mind what your zones are," Warner said.

"He thinks it's exactly like one-day and Twenty20 cricket. If it's in his zone, he backs himself.

"He's a great player that I've looked up to in the last couple of years, especially when I've been training with him and seeing how he goes about his stuff," he said.
