Pattinson said he is on track for a Test return after

recovering from a rib injury. "It's frustrating not to play consecutive games through the year. But I am more mature now and aim is to playing test matches consistently. The best way to learn is by playing cricket and not just by bowling in the nets. So, I am going to manage that in the next couple of years until I become 26 at which point I can play almost every test available," he said. The paceman had been out of the international arena after suffering the injury in the second Test against South Africa in November. He played a Sheffield Shield match for Victoria last month before travelling to India for the series with the first Test starting from February 22 here. Pattinson reasoned out bowling every delivery "too fast" for his breakdown. "The reason behind my injury was probably bowling too much at a young age. I suppose trying to bowl too fast every delivery is one of the reasons I break down. Even when Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson started playing, they were injury prone as well and so it's not just me who is breaking down. "It has happened to other bowlers around my age. So it's about managing the amount of cricket that is played at my age to keep the skill going and improving. At my age, I am not going to play every test, so it's about managing me, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, how many tests we are going to play, and keep our skills going," he said. Pattinson said the Australian fast bowlers will look to trouble Indian batsmen with pace and bounce early on. "We will do the homework before the first test and work on plans for different batsmen. We will try and mix it up to the batsmen especially on wickets with invariable bounce. At this level, batsmen play with patience, so it's important to be consistent, mix it up and be smart. "Jackson Bird has had a really good summer and so have two left-armers, Mitchell Johnson and Starc, who has been bowling fantastically. It's fantastic not to have just three bowlers and going to the game with four who want to perform. The best thing is that we all offer something different, which is another great thing."
