David Warner foresees Indians struggling to adapt to conditions during the Test series and feels the longer they are kept out on the field, “the harder it will be for them mentally.” “You look at their line-up and you can think ‘oh, how are we going to get these guys out’. But we know when they’re in Australia, the wickets are different, and we think their mental approach is a bit different to what it is when they’re in India,” Warner said. “We think they automatically know they’re going to win series in India because the wickets turn and it is all in their favour. And it is probably similar to when they come out here. We think on the bouncy wickets, they might not be able to adapt,” he added.
Warner, however, conceded that the quality of India’s batting line-up is such that, they are expected to score big, no matter what the conditions are like. “They’re one of the best line-ups in the world, and capable of scoring big runs on the wickets we’re producing here. We’ve got to be spot on with our lines and lengths with our quicks, and when we’re batting, we need to put on as many runs as we can…I reckon we’re in for a good series,” he said.
