They know how to exploit those conditions. ![]() It was the first two overs from the seamers to be honest, 2 for 2 to start a game you are pretty much in the ascendency.the opposition is always under pressure because we know we have quality in the spin department but the seamers, not to forget, can be quite threatening on a surface like that.

You need to use your feet, at the same time put pressure on the bowlers. Have grown up a lot in Mumbai on surfaces which turn a lot. Since I started opening I have tried to figure out.my methods. The last few years the kind of pitches we have in India who have to have a clear mindset and plan to get runs. Things can happen when you play for a long time, but I've had injuries in the past so know how to come back from them.

You know what you are going to get when you come to India, but it's a different question entirely being able to confront it. Australia lose all 10 wickets in basically a session. India win by an innings and 132 runs and could not have made a bigger statement at the start of this series.
