BENGALURU : While Australia are prepared for a trial by spin in India they fully recognise the threat reverse swing may pose in the four-test series against Rohit Sharma's men, touring wicketkeeper Alex Carey said on Friday.
Australia batters practised on a scuffed-up pitch in Sydney before flying to India and have since gathered a bevy of local spinners for their net sessions in Bengaluru having decided against playing any warm-up matches. "Going to Pakistan, it was a lot of spin talk, and I found the reversing ball difficult," Carey told reporters referring to their sub-continent tour last year.
Carey said Australia's batting line-up had enough experience to cope with the challenges they will face in the series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
