    "We'll 
      go in playing aggressive cricket looking to win a Test match, if we play 
      to our ability we will be very hard to beat. So I think they will be two 
      very good Test matches." |

    "I 
      don't know why the confusion arose. Slater has been served a one- match

        unfit, they hadn't had enough match grinding." The former Indian skipper
