Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke says the 'youth and enthusiasm' of his team would be up against India's 'old wise heads' during the eagerly-awaited Test series from December 26.
"I think it's going to be a really good contest between youth and enthusiasm versus some old wise heads in the Indian team," Clarke wrote in his column for 'The Daily Telegraph'.
"The Indians are a very strong team currently ranked second in the world on the ICC Test ladder behind England. In Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag (to name a few) they have a lot of batting experience, knowledge and runs," he said.
"But their bowling lacks experience and they're dealing with injuries as well. They'll have concerns there. Zaheer Khan is a big player for them," Clarke explained.

Clarke said the Aussies have been practising hard against seaming deliveries and having a batting camp before the series has turned out to be a good idea.
