"To bat for a long time would be better for our batters on such tough conditions like the humidity, the heat and the wickets. Peter Siddle and James Pattinson have not bowled much in the last few months. So to get some overs under the games scenario would be good for us," Wade said.

Verbal duels have always been a part of a India-Australia series over the years and Wade feels sparks could fly during the upcoming series as the contest would be evenly matched and both side will give their best. "A few of our fast bowlers have got white-line fever so they don't plan too much for these things. They just walk out on the ground. India compete hard and so do we. I think that's why over the years there have been so many tough contests. Both teams will go as hard as they can on the field but I'm sure after the game everything will be fine," Wade said. On keeping wickets in India, Wade said: "It is going to be tough keeping wickets in India. I have been working hard during the last four weeks. I have two games before the first test match. "No doubt it is tough place to keep wickets but I will get used to the conditions from the two practice games. I have been told lot of stories and I am looking forward to the challenge."
