In a veiled warning to Anil Kumble and his teammates, Australia's middle
order bulwark Michael Hussey said every home batsman will be armed with
separate strategy for each Indian bowler when they walk out to bat in the forthcoming
Test series.
Hussey said the hosts had not left any stone unturned in their
preparation and they would come hard at the Indians.
"We have done quite a bit of preparation: video footage and all. We have
also faced them before. Different guys will have their own plans on how to handle
different bowlers," said Hussey, a tower of strength in the middle order
with his Bradmanesque average.
As for the pitch, Hussey conceded it was more in favour of
batsmen these days at the MCG.
"The pitches have changed. I believe it is a bit more batter-friendly.
We will just have to wait until we get there to assess the conditions."
Hussey's attention was then drawn to the fact that the tourists struggled on
the opening day of the tour and that classy Rahul Dravid could be opening
the innings in Tests.
