Australians can relate to Team India's current agony: Clarke

Adelaide, Jan 28 (ANI): Skipper Michael Clarke has said that the Australians involved in last summer's failed Ashes campaign could relate to India's current agony.

Clarke recalls being asked the same question after the Ashes debacle now posed to the Indian team.

"Fortunately I don't have to answer that question," Clarke said after completing a 4-0 series sweep in Adelaide on Saturday.

"That is for the Indian team. That is for (Indian captain) MS Dhoni and the Indian selectors to talk about and think about and assess. I was asked the same questions 12 months ago once we lost to England," The Herald Sun quoted him, as saying.

"And we as a squad, as a team, as a vice-captain at that stage, needed to assess where we needed to improve our game. But fortunately today, I sit on the other side," he said.

Clarke said the Australians involved in last summer's failed Ashes campaign could relate to India's current agony.

"Individual players who were a part of last summer remember it very fondly - and knew we had to do a lot of work to improve our games both personally and as a team. It's a very special feeling to sit here beating India 4-0 knowing that last summer, I couldn't buy a run," he said. (ANI)
