Former Australia coach John Buchanan, who oversaw his team’s historic Test series win in India in 2004, believes the current Australian squad picked for the tour of India, despite its inexperience, has the wherewithal to repeat the feat. Daily News & Analysis’s Vijay Tagore interviews him.
On Australia's bowling
None of the pacers has played Test cricket in India but Lee, Mitchell Johnson and Stuart Clark should be able to play to the expectations. I understand the series will be played in the days of a new season just as we had played India in 2004. The October-November weather in India should assist the Australians. As a consequence, I expect the pitches to be lively and outfield grassy. So Lee & Co. should have no worries. Spin department, as I’ve said, is a bit inexperienced.
