ALL ABOUT CRICKET

Virender Sehwag said that they will win the series by 3-1.
"If we are playing on spin friendly tracks, the series might be in our favour 3-1," Sehwag told CNN-IBN on Monday.

"The Indian team is the only team that beat Australia in Australia twice. We beat them in Perth last time and before that in Adelaide. So, we are accepting the challenge and we will fight it out. Hopefully we will do well and reclaim the Border Gavaskar trophy," he added.

Sehwag said he was clear about his job which is to give a good and quick start to the team and then convert it into a big score.

"It is my responsibility and my job as an opener to give a good start to my team and if I get a start, I continue and covert that into a big one, the way I did in Australia and Sri Lanka. That's my job and I love to do that," he said.

"I am in good nick but I am looking forward to this series and hope I do well because it's against the Aussies and everybody knows it's a tough task to get runs against them," he added. We hope that whatever he has said, it becomes a realty.
