Australia are trailing 0-2 in the four-match series after being outplayed in Chennai and Hyderabad.
"I would be disappointed if we come to India and India didn't prepare these (turning wickets) conditions. Sub- continent presents a lot of challenge for some of our players and they've found out how hard it is over here. Likewise, when India go to Australia� and that's world cricket," he said.
The Australian coach said if they harbour hopes of becoming number one in Test cricket, his players must learn to perform in alien conditions.
"I think the key to getting number one is that you have to learn to win away from home. It's ok, you win at home as most sides do that. All the top 4-5 teams do that. But its winning away from home that counts and matters and that's what you've got to get better at," he said.
"No, absolutely not (we are not taking it easy). We trained (on fifth day-track at Hyderabad) before we came here. We gave players two days off here to get mentally fresh. We trained yesterday, we trained today and we got two training sessions before the next Test. We are going to be prepared in every way possible," he said.
