Batting in those conditions in one-day cricket and T20 cricket is one thing, batting in Indian conditions in Test cricket is a completely different game."

"You need a completely different plan to what you have playing in Australia, way you start your innings against spin bowling, way you play reverse swing, through Australian summer we didn't see any reverse swing, games were over in two, three days". Clarke ded. 

"So reverse swing is going to play a big part (in India), all se batters that walk out and play bowlers bowling 130-140ks – re's every chance India is going to play at least two spinners, so it's a completely different game", Clarke ded.
