"The Indians have shown their hand that they are going to be quite aggressive," said Haddin today, referring to the first two Tests -- both of which Australia won.
"I think our middle and lower order can expect some more, that's cricket. Maybe they will wind Mitchell Johnson up again and see how that goes," he said.
That last statement might be a tease for the visiting side, who faced Johnson's ire in the second Test after their attempts at sledging backfired.
Haddin was also critical of India for complaining about the practice pitches at the Gabba.
"What was wrong with the practice wicket?" asked Haddin, keeping up with the teasing tone.
"They used it the day after the game so there couldn't have been anything wrong with it. I only know that our bowlers went down there to train and they were training there too the day after, so they can't have been too bad."
