Talking about the ongoing Test series in Australia, former great Mohinder Amarnath feels India are a superior unit but the depleted hosts are capable of giving them a run for their money.
"Australian cricketers think differently. It is not the first time they are going through this kind of phase. They are in the process of building a new team. But from what I watched in the first Test, some of the players are really good. You can't just rule Australia out of the series. Of course India are more superior but again they have to continue playing good cricket.
"First Test was a fantastic Test match from a cricketing point of view. The only difference was Cheteshwar Pujara. It shows we are here for a thrilling series with advantage India," said the 68-year-old, who played 69 Tests and 85 ODIs.
How will India do in the second Test starting Friday in Perth?
"It depends on nature of wicket. If the wicket is doing a bit, some of the batsmen struggle with their technique. It is not how aggressive you play, the key in Test cricket is that only when you leave good deliveries, you occupy the crease for a long time. It is not that they don't have that in them but they have to adapt."
