India could surprise Down Under

India faced a tough match against australia in sydney.Imran soke that ,The Indians now go to Australia, where the opposition will be more professional, and the general standard of play more exacting. However, it's my gut feeling that Anil Kumble's team will do quite well in Australia. India's batting is looking very strong, even though it must be remembered that the recent performances have been on slow, low pitches.The bigger factor is that Australia will be without Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne. McGrath has always done well against India, and it would take some time for any bowler to fill the void that his retirement has created in the side.As far as the Indian bowling is concerned, I was very impressed with Ishant Sharma. He is young and should be nurtured carefully in order to avoid injury. He has a high-arm action, is tall and hits the deck. If he can keep his pace consistently at even 85-86 miles per hour, he will be a handful. Facing a tough tour so early in his career can only help him learn quicker, and it will be interesting to see how he goes in Australia. I was a little disappointed with Irfan Pathan because he has not gained as much pace as I had thought he would when I saw him four years ago.India should forget that worst match and proceed to play as cricket is more important than individual.
