There's always the talk of heat and humid conditions in sub-continent in every tour by foreign players, but Henriques felt the Australians could use them to their advantage.

"It is always talked about. But, once you get in to the middle it is different and the exhaustion and energy takes out the bowlers. We got some pretty fit bowlers and quick bowlers are the strength of our side. We have to play to that strength," said the 26-year-old. "I have never played five day cricket in Chennai. I am very happy to be part of the four pronged quick attack and very keen to get you out there to help Australia win the Test." He said in Indian conditions the middle-order batsmen, including him, could play a big role, considering the reverse swing factor. "I think every player in the team has important role to play. It is going to be extremely important. The openers generally work on getting a good start and the guys in the middle probably going to be at the toughest against reverse swings or the spin bowlers bowling and catches around their back. So, it is going to be important," he said. On part-time spin options of his side, Henriques said, "We do have couple of part time spin options. I think the most important thing is obviously going with three quick seaming bowlers is that we play to our strengths and they are bowlers to be looked upon to take wickets." Asked about the Indian line up in the absence of the likes of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, he said, "I have been lucky enough to play against lot of Indian batsmen like Kohli and Pujara. I have seen them play a lot and these guys are fantastic cricketers." PRI RE PDS AH 02201641 NNNN
