THERE has been no magic formula for our sustained success against India.
One simple word sums up the reason why we dominated a series against some of the best players in the world - preparation.
Our training has been unbelievable. We trained so hard I am not surprised we achieved such success given all the work we've put in.
We're training like it's a game, always applying pressure. Our attitude to training has certainly improved out of sight.
So to be rewarded for all that effort by beating India 4-0 when they were the No.1 side in the world just a few months ago is something all the guys can be immensely proud of.

Didn't we go to Dubai and play a number of games in preperation for the Bang series?
and then we used the Bang series TO GET READY FOR THE INDIA SERIES!!
,
Also Duncan Fletcher had nice comments to say about how Gibbo is preparing the team when India toured the caribbean last year, so you've got nothing to worry about!!

Looks like the Aussies may select Matthew Wade as their reserve wickie for the tour of the Caribbean....
"The West Indies is a pretty difficult place to get to from Australia, so at this stage and it will depend on the budget, but we're keen to have two keepers there throughout the West Indies tour," Inverarity said. "If a keeper breaks his hand it would probably be five days to a week before a replacement could get organised, get there, recover from jetlag and be ready to play. If you've got one wicketkeeper in the West Indies and two days before a Test he breaks his hand and cannot keep, what do you do?"
