VVS Laxman has been Australia's bugbear for quite a while and
the classical middle order batsman prescribes self-belief with relentless aggression
as the formula to succeed against the world champions. 
With a firmness in his voice, Laxman said India
would not allow any let-up in steam in order to curb the Aussies from getting
on the top.
"Whenever we have played aggressively against Australia,
we have done well. We realise that if you give the Aussies a slight inch,
they tend to walk over you," Laxman said.
Laxman has been Australia's biggest worry as a batsman in the
last decade or so and hardly any other batsman made such an overwhelming impression
on the world champions in recent times.
The soft-spoken Hyderabad player, however, was quick to underline that
by aggression he didn't mean wearing one's emotions on one's sleeve.
"It's a self-belief which matters a great deal for any
batsman to do well in Australia. I do believe that the present Indian team wouldn't
be found out on this issue." Laxman attributed his success against the
Aussies to his ability to raise his game against the toughest opponents.
"It usually happens with us against Australia. We tend
to raise our game in order to match theirs.
