Aussie skipper says his side hasn't lost fighting spirit

Fully aware that the team from Down Under will have to bring out their best to cope with spin-friendly conditions on the tour, Bailey said they are always evolving to combat the subcontinental art.



“It is a big focus every time we arrive here on how we are going to play the spinners and are always working towards it. It is as much about having a really clear plan. I think we have got a number of players who play spin very well. It is just the matter of executing that in the heat of the battle,” the 31-year-old Aussie skipper said.

Adding, “First and foremost that is about having a really clear plan and working through that with your partner at the middle.  Summing up the situation of when and where to go. So all of those things you take into account and also the fact that India have got some quality spinners at the moment.”
