In the next series in India of Australian cricket which is started on 9 October Australian captain Ricky Ponting hopes to improve their batting average against India at home during the four-Test series. This was an invalid in his cricket resume said ponting & intense to put right it in the upcoming weeks subsequent to Australia get there in India on Monday.

In 2001 a couple of disappointing Test matches in which I could not perform according to my caliber but now I want to improve my performance in India that is said by Ponting said earlier than the team’s leaving from Sydney. I missed the first three Tests after broke my thumb in the last series over there that we won more over my average just 17 runs that is very little from there average in all matches. The current Australian side is less experienced than the Indian side in which we are missing Damien Martyn, Justin Langer, Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne & Adam Gilchrist. But we want to win series there at any cost & for that we did great efforts in the net. I expect the approaching competition would be played in the right spirit after a harsh and hot series in Australia. Very healthy rivalry between India and Australia in one-day and Test cricket is happened in Australia and our last few Tests come upon very good and some incredibly close results.

After the bomb blasts in Islamabad over the weekend I think we took right decision to not tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. All these things happened as we just have to listen to the advice from the experts, security advice and our Department of Foreign Affairs. So now I am concentrate on the Indian test series & there is no doubt we want to win the series & also improve my performance in India.
